Jim Milks Poems

Happy Birthday to my Dad
There is no ice cream, no cake, no presents to be had
just a silent birthday wish for my Dad
Happy Birthday to my Father
...

Spring: Haiku
Life awakening
Flower opens in the sun
A world is reborn
...

Happy Mother's Day
to my dear wife.
Wonderful was the day
you entered my life
...

OH Edgar my friend,
my morose brother
Thine rhyme doth touch the heart like no other
with your quick and wily pen;
...

Two fluttering hearts
Sunlight gleams on a gold band
A Springtime wedding
...

Come on people move
For childhood is calling
time to get up and groove
there is no time for stalling
...

A golden God of rock
In loneliness on the stage
A brief candle burned
...

I hold you close and lay your head upon my chest
I kiss your soft and pale cheek and whisper
“shhh little Dove, rest”
...

What is a Grandfather?
A Friend, a confidant, and a mentor
That is what a Grandfather is.
...

As the sun is shinning on my empty home
I pour a shot of whiskey
To help kill the misery
of you leaving me here all alone
...
