HERE IS MY POEM
Title: Gone
Gone, with the winds,
Up high were no one can see me,
Leave me alone,
I am gone now,
Its to late to call me back,
My soul might be with you,
But the real me will never be,
I am trapped in your mind,
Get me out,
Let me free,
I am gone now,
So let it be.

JUNE CONTEST: THEY DRINK THE DEW
THEY DRINK THE DEW
by Salvatore Buttaci
June
roses
drink
the dew
sweet nectar
of gods
who
love their
soft petals
touched by the wind
the tall way
they stand
on
their stems
like soldiers
in fields
of
battle:
proud

June Poem
A man at home
his face is stranined
his hands curled tight
into fists
awaiting the fight
with work today
for you see
after all this pain
they'll make him leave
he sees the look
on his family's faces
for he cannot
be with them
all day
all night
he works so hard
just to be nagged
and thrown aside
a hand on his back
tells him it's okay
he looks up
not knowing what to say
to the little girl
smiling at him
he shakes off work
and then he grins
