A CELEBARATION for the soon to be released collection of 64 poems ‘Verses From Beneath Granite Ledges’, my book of 63 poems ‘The Maine Poetic’ will be free from Kindle and Amazon between March 16 thru March 18, 2014. Anyone can down load the book for free. It is my hope that you will find one or two poems that give you enjoyment or solace while connecting you to the much larger human condition. L E Barrett ONCE IN LOVE They were young and in love The first to share each other In the early morning dew of life A safe place they alone inhabited He couldn’t have loved her more She imagined tiny stars in his eyes He that she had no earthly equal Both unable to deny their love Giving caresses soft and warm Every kiss a fiery point of light He soon enlisted in the Marines While she went off to a college Two years and dozens of letters Before they again came together Time spawned a new strangeness He told her of a new music scene She of a boy she met in Portland They walked slowly away in silence No words to describe their feelings Once in love, now forever released IRAQ 2004 Another dead American soldier Blown up by a roadside bomb American millionaires at rest Dreaming of stock options As oil flows through the Gulf Blood pools in a clogged gutter Running off a Bagdad Street As political bastard’s debate Points they can’t really sacrifice Protection from the desperate Those faces with fear and hate Muslim world in chipped pieces A puzzle without a design or box Just a people in a distant place We do not know or understand amazon/-/e/B00H8AZONS, https://facebook/pages/LE-Barrett/102398173284538?ref=hl, amazon/Kindle-eBooks/b?ie=UTF8&node=154606011
