Poems from author14
Humble birth
Humble man
Horrid wife
But tragic life
Lincoln, I applaud you
For your sacrifice
So many poems
Have been written
About this man
That there's not much to say
Except
What if he was just a normal man?
Lazy, muddy river
Stretching down from north to south
Curling like a length of thread
Highway
With steamboats, paddleboats
As automobiles...
I've heard it used to be funeral music
Born in New Orleans
Now it's a groove
We have our deep-voiced singers
And low saxophones
It doesn't...
Shooting to the sky
Exploding out of the earth
Dangerous yet constant
You are a sign
Though you sit on
An extremely dangerous volcano...
