Poetry by C.H. Coleman

Almost New England Winter

The Absence of Romance

Almost New England Winter

Ground soggier than saturated bran

Air heavy as sod, even tractors mold.

Dampened emotions, I beg the bedroom window

for a glimmer of morning light.

Days of rain flow into weeks of darkness,

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Absence of Romance

Young women and young men, offering

lives, far from mature, during the season of romance

instead become vehicles of destruction.
