Poetic Tribute to Whitman, Frost, Hughes, and Sandburg

by Paul Cech / April 22nd, 2018

The dogwood and the lilacs are blooming
Lincoln is long gone
The yard is a living reminder of life

The woods
Dark and dense
Inspire perseverance

America
The land that needs to be
Needs to be now

And the cat
Whose little feet have been compared to the encroaching fog
Sits oblivious to it all
