Shirley Shikanda Poems

  • 1.
    Out of the blue thoughts
    Spin circles in my head
    Why a puppy has its own tail for an enemy
    The black widow feeds on its mate
    ...
  • 2.
    Unlearn love
    When your spouse lately has more late nights
    So you try to do more because you might be the problem
    When your spoiled daughter calls you

    Waters carve rocks and mountains
    Leaves turn green,yellow and finally a dead brown
    ...

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.

We 're out for the money, the greenbacks and gold,
