Terence George Craddock Poems

an absence of but a year and a half
all is changed among these scattered
leaf poets friends; several more gone
of my favourite leaf poets those leaves
...

all religions fail will fall if when greed
envy corruption taint spring source purity
of inspired original gifts given insights miracles
...

I believe in peace and have been persecuted
for a love of peace belief for many years
by people brain washed into thinking war is
right war is good, and peace is weak peace
...

coexistence is vibe virtue of our being written through nature
if we do not also preach preservation nature will not endure
global warming enviromental disasters are melting a glass ceiling
...

a blue flying butterfly a brown squirrel ferns
berries violet yellow daffodils blue bird flies
bright sharp inked tapestry in rainbow colours
tattoos enclosed in chain graphic bra designs
...

will it matter when I'm dead, if no one prays for me
if God sees all knows all, then he must see to heart of me...
a stranger standing by a grave, no outcome could he change
words were said, deeds life done, prayer outcome does not change...
...

once upon a time in the wilderness
often an engineer was also a pioneer
snap bang time flash gone is wilderness
city you live in might have been wilderness
...

appreciating differing cultures
light catching cut facets
maximizing light reflection brilliance
...

to all my poet friends who crossed my poetic thought path
shared part of my poetic journey past present future enriched
my days with happiness insight written in poetic words verses
enriched my life thoughts mind space heart depths I thank you
...

some of the best words I have ever written
took birth from flight thoughts originating

in distant friend poet pens
