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.

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.

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.

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.

Spring night

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

Rivalry

Out of place here at the capitol,
Cats scared and skinny stalk plump squirrels –
Apples of lunchtime eyes.

Freedom

Imagine skateboarders on west steps of capitol
Romping and determined
Challenging you to get physical
Daring you to defy gravity
