Of the poems I have written, I have my favorites.
In the early morning hours In the early morning hours a drop of rain falls on the window pane -- while I breakfast with you. In the early morning hours a ray of candle light shines within my sight -- while I breakfast with you. In the early morning hours the raindrops trickle as my toast I nibble -- while I breakfast with you. In the early morning hours I look across the table -- Thankful I can breakfast with you.
My Horse and My Twin Why would my horse Want to spend an afternoon Riding around in the semi�s trailer With my Gemini twin? He is supposed to Look after me, not her! But then, maybe he is Looking after me. � Rosemarie Skaine
Wages of War He had telephoned her. It was time for her to meet the train. He had not wanted her to go; He had sent no money. She asked a passerby for help. "He wants me to come, but He has one more thing to do. Can you loan me the fare?" Their child clung to her breast. "Lock him in the garage, and He won�t cry anymore." Said the passerby. "No, I�ll hold him, and He won�t cry anymore." She told the passerby. II "You�ve got a window!" The radar intercept officer called. He stepped out onto his wing and saw She was doubled over on the ground. She was crying uncontrollably before The locked door of the garage That kept their child Forever from him. � Rosemarie Skaine
She was writing a song. He wanted to see the song Before it was sung. I came all this way on my bike with this child of yours on my back to hear your song. She clasped the paper to her breast That held her unwritten song. � Rosemarie Skaine
