Poems by Patrons

Summer

Late nights, water fights,
Sleepovers with friends,
Swinsuit tops, otter pops,
Beach towels in the sand.

Ice tea, lemonade,
Pow wows on the beach,
Ice-cream, lots of sweets,
Rockin' pool parties.

Pool days, BFF's,
Having fun in the sun,
Tan skin, sunny days
It's all so much fun!

Boo hoo, back to school,
summer fun will end,
but for now, let's have fun,
Enjoy things while they last!

"Untitled"

Darkness will rise light will fall
You can't escape what will come
Your soul is black
Your mind is dark
The Flowers are withered
The sky is grey
The end is near.

Poems by Patrons

White Birches in Fog

They stand-almost half-ethereal
As those once met in a soundless inward reverie
A rememberance at once remote, and yet they are real
As a legion of ghosts sent
On wooden branches bent
To haunt, the shade of distant memory

Poems by Patrons

Metamorphic incidence
Tangibility unchallenged till today

How can something grow in reverse
Regress into the warp mirrors of its past?

My idealism, my naivete' clings to linear
and stalwart ideas of progress

Ah, the sting of my backward thinking
The cocoon of misdirected judgment

Iridescent wings shifting, catching wind
Plummeting to origin, the spiral eclipse

Never touched, but once felt
You are standing still.

Poems By Patrons

During National Poetry Month (April), the Main Library encouraged patrons to write poems for our "No Rhyme or Reason" wall of poetry. Below you'll find the poetry of our talented patrons.

"Untitled"
As I stand here staring
I wonder how you don't see
The way I look at you
The way no one knows but me

I wish I could talk to you
To tell you hoe I fell
But every time you come around
My lips are always sealed

I find myself wondering
How no one seems to notice
That whenever you'r aound
I can never seem to focus

Each time I think of you
It brings a smilr to my face
But tears to my eyes
It's a beautiful dream I chace

For what it's worth to you
I will always will be here
Unseen and unnoticed
But always somwhere near
