Bus traveling down the road. Filled are the seats with a varied load. Moving home at the evening rush hour. Faces relaxed, happy, or dour. Two women talked of the day. Lost in the words that each would say. Behind them a rider known by one in the past, Parted by space and times growing […]
Poetry Corner: Ranjit Gill “Aisle of Death”
As I walk by the aisle of death and look at the body parts that are left Chopped, put up for sale. I see the local favorites: cows, chickens, and pigs. I wonder if they cried at their time of death.
Poetry Corner: James Garrett “My Everything”
From within a glow, Only we two know. The depth of warmth, Which held hands show. Dancing through life with me, My “Belle of the Ball”, And there to catch me, When, at times, I fall. My everything, So simple, some would say. Truth is truth, Night gives to day. She chose me, And lucky […]
Poetry Corner: Ranjit Gill “Walking on a Rainy Day”
A rainy day will beat a sunny day any day. I’ll tell the sun to go away. Splashing in a puddle, kids play! I like walking in the rain it’s entertaining. Forget the sunshine, I hold an umbrella and enjoy the rain show. The day is mine. Tomorrow, who knows?
Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Right or Wrong”
To be right or wrong, Who is to know? We inside only, As on we go. To be judged by all, Or just by one. For all the good, Or bad, that’s done. True to yourself, All life long. For who is to say, What’s right, what’s wrong? James Garrett is a lifelong resident of […]
Poetry Corner: Ranjit Gill “Marrying a Genie”
A dream I dreamt Never believed my dream Would one day become reality One day, I would conquer my insanity. To live without you is to live crazy Without you, I feel lazy. Staring at the wall, I’d rather be staring at your face to erase my pain and sad past. Your face, a work […]
Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Until I Saw You Again”
As the sun rose over the hills, I saw you standing there. A glow came from within you, A warmth shone in your hair. I had wondered if you cared, Wondered if you knew. Wondered if you felt, What I felt for you. The trip was long, The wait longer still. The ache of loneliness, […]
Poetry Corner: Ranjit Gill “10 Decades”
Ten decades to live, laugh, and play. Your ten decades they waste if you stay a slave! Sheep being herded on a farm. The sheep herder milks them hard! Takes their wool, too! Sheep—another name for fools. Four decades in, my eyes open after questioning and reading. Reading is fundamental It’ll set you free.
Poetry Corner: James Garrett “Would You?”
Would you comfort someone who is sad and blue? Someone who needs love, just like you? Would you stand for hours in the driving rain, Waiting for your love to arrive on the train? Would you walk with joy, bright in your heart, While Cupid readies still another dart? Would you give love, and gain […]
