Poetry Unearthed
i get my daily bread in small doses
pondering lifes wonders
trying to view life
through someone elses' eyes
i saw a woman with her arms full of homegrown potatoes
woke to the sound of all three dogs barking
danced to a song sung by janis joplin
drank hot herbal tea to ward off cancer
wrote me a verse that helped me feel centered

Poets Are The Way They Are
poets are the way they are
because they were born that way
they are the sensitive souls
crying out to be heard
the rapt attention given
to their own feelings
easily spills onto the page
emerging from the very core
of their being
poets take the world seriously
while still being able
to laugh at themselves from
time to time and they are
driven to do what they do
poets are the way they are
they believe in the beauty
of their dreams

Precious Eyes
they look like
they're flirting
(it isn't right)
but then i
have no claims
on the man
their laughter
innocent or not
discourages me
forcing me to feel
i n s i g n i f i c a n t
perhaps, i protest
too much
but darn it all
those precious eyes
of his did court me
for a while

Precious Love
when i think about
the time we spent together
memories of your precious love
still makes me smile
i have never felt as
loved by any man since
you left this earth for
a higher resting place as
your work down here was done
you were one of the
greatest men i have ever known
you always brought
out the very best in me
showed me there was still
a playful side to me
if you can hear me from above
you know your precious love
is etched in my heart for eternity
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
