Nights Longer

by Gale Weither

Days are long, nights longer still

Bodies worn, receding will

Pillows call, promising rest

Minds refuse: we must be best

My Poems

by John Howell

My work on poems is so odd,

I struggle with each new form.

I read poems gifted from God,

And know poor verse is my norm.
