Mrs. Fegan's Poetry

To get us started on this new blog, I thought I would "break the ice" and post two of my poems. They say teachers should "lead by example!" So here goes - comments are welcome.

Solar Wonders

The moon reflected in the water’s glow,
Keeps hidden secrets I would like to know.
Its mystery cast in shadows from afar,
Can never hide its charm nor beauty mar.

Moon’s sister is the ever brilliant sun,
Who never rests until her day is done.
She glimmers, shines, and shimmers without shame.
Her beauty unsurpassed that none can claim.

These siblings never fight for time and space.
Complete their cycles with such timeless grace.
How constant is the ever changing moon
And resolute his sister’s climb at noon.

The moon and sun, the cosmos’ perfect team,
This orbital pair a poet’s perfect dream.

Standing Like Sentries

STONES

Surrounded by a lush forest . . .
Birds trill melodic harmonies
Butterflies dance in the breeze
The imperceptible sound of a leaf . . .
gently
falling

STONES
Unnaturally out of place
Thousands stand like sentries
Guarding the remaining memory of
Jewish men . . .

 women . . .

  and children

STONES
Monuments to vibrant lives
Full of potential,
dreams,
and love.

STONES
Standing like sentries . . .

At Treblinka
