Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

I have known but a few
But always recognize who they are
Outstanding in demeanor
Charasmatic society stars;
...

Relentless Winter lays itself white
Far below the mountains spires
Muted tones of off white and grey
Linger near a warming fire;
...

It could get hotter with discovery...
With the finding of all of your wires
And your sockets extra goodies
Your timers and electronic ears;
...

Summer 'tis always bursting forth within me-
As invincible as a tidal wave of stone...
Slicing the middle out of winter
A hidden sun-lit heat-yet unknown;
...

Be not my love poetry
Found in an archway of trees
Be not the silences & it's reckoning
In the barren desserts of ne'er to be;
...

It's an all too common allegory
Pressed from the hands of time
Lent out silent praised theme
Careless whispers never hard to find
...

A Look Back To Now...


Basking in the New
...

I commiserate with empathetic attitude
With platitudes of yesterday
Accented with caomparison and forgiveness
That i have sprinkled along the way
...

The lakes blue ripples display their gleam
Sun rays reflecting upon them with ease
Small to minute current rolls
But with naked eye barely seen
...

Lingering by a babbling brook
I threw in a coin or two
Made my most endearing wish
All for the love of you
...
