 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


Today ends a crazy weekend of surprises
Nice to hear from you Carla you have been missed
As the cycle of spring is kissed
Life moves on so fast
Often I reflex on thoughts of the past
Soon my appeal to the VA well be history
The ending you know still a mystery
My son not happy that I went alone
Here in my family a legalese well known
"What do you think you are a Lawyer"
With me your son could you not concur?"
The Judge you faced one of nine Government
Appointed by the top as choice of the President.
Now comes the surprise moved I did not tell lies
But here it comes a name from the past
Who might that be you ask?
I  stood in the hospital Granddaughter in a crib
Beside me a well known man well not a fib
Quincy Jones of musical fame
It was his brother the Judge who shared his name
His daughter and my Granddaughter born the same day
Is his brother not a good vibe in a way?
The results for now just another unknown edge
The kids back from college the gain of knowledge
I reflect on what the future might hold
Jobs are hard to find if I be so bold
All the kids have jobs not addicts in the cold
My eldest is a trainer working with kids
I find it with pride the job this old man once did
For him just a summer job and also mowing lawns
There is no job not important to do
The Kelz planning parties at the zoo.
All the things they love and paid too
All this happening while I the results do stew
To soar to seek embrace the skies
All the things that greet this old soldier before he dies
To embrace Sweet Jesus spit in the devils eyes
