The Poem Book


Porcelain
By H. Quinn
A very short poem.  A first offering from H. Quinn.
Seasons' Song
By Steven Mink
What the heck is this?  It's alliteration like you have never seen it.
Death in my Age
By Shawn McLaughlin
This piece also dwells on our mortality, but from a somewhat different angle than does Blood Fever. It looks at it from a somewhat more spiritual point of view, almost studying it to some extent.
Hurt Mother Earth
By Shawn McLaughlin
This piece came from a very unexpected source. I didn't know Shawn wrote at all. It's a poem about the destruction we have done/are doing to the planet upon which we rely for our survival.
Lead On
By Pete Kniess
A Christian Spiritual poem from Pete. This one seems to me to be a prayer for guidance.
Open
By Pete Kniess
Another Christian Spiritual poem from Pete. This one I didn't understand at first, but Pete explained to me that he was trying to capture the point of view of the world and someone who had not experienced Christian Faith and known forgiveness before. At least that's the best I can explain it from my point of view
Redemption
By Pete Kniess
A great spiritual poem from Pete Kniess. I didn't even know that he wrote poetry along with his other great writing until he sent this one to me. This is a very thoughtful piece, that really shows the depth of faith in the writer
Blood Fever
By Shawn McLaughlin
This is a dark piece, wonderfully wrought. I get the impression of Medieval times. It is the plea of a father to save his children from a plague sweeping the land.
