Morning in the Avenues

Trilling birds penetrate fading sleepiness

Waking residents to a new dawn

Daring them to go out on a limb

Purse their lips

Make love sounds to the world.

David Vaszko San Francisco Poems Leave a comment September 3, 2022September 3, 2022 1 Minute

San Francisco’s finest son

Too bad about Robert Frost,

He packed up and left.

70 years later perpetual teenagers came west.

Oh how I lost!

Mrs. Ruth

May we glory in Ruth’s power.
Swing for the fences in life.
Have the manliness to cower.
When we see our neglected wife.

Wedding day

Married in park.
In view of capitol.
Knowing God’s love is law.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems, God and Religion August 30, 2020September 9, 2021 1 Minute

Vietnam memorial

Woman with son says:
Stand in front of the roses so I can take your picture.
Hurrying past the roses he points:
I want to see the grenade.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems, Midtown Sacramento August 20, 2020August 31, 2021 1 Minute

Capitol park

A great place for a pool.
Lined with orange trees.
Capitol in background.
Maxfield Parrish beauties distant as the sun.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems August 16, 2020August 31, 2021 1 Minute

Troubling

Late winter sun makes brick bathroom look pretty.
Tempting you to touch. Linger. Expand your peace.
But you know better.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems August 13, 2020September 2, 2021 1 Minute

Sweet and pretty

Looking at oranges on a tree,
I wonder if they are as sweet as they are pretty,
And why we don’t smile when we’re dressed up.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems August 9, 2020September 2, 2021 1 Minute

Summer evening at the capitol

Compelled to linger,
Admire beauty,
Marvel at inspiring architecture,

One realizes one has to go, but everything’s closed.

So you leave.
Unfree.
Full of pee.

David Vaszko Capitol Park Poems August 2, 2020September 9, 2021 1 Minute

Spring night

Night air laden with orange blossoms,
Bicyclists fill with lust.
Pedaling aimlessly.
Longing for someone’s fragrance.
