National Poetry Month Spotlight: Morris Williams, Local Poet
1 min read
Local Poet Morris Williams poems “Empty…” and “Lenawee Street” presented on laundry room bulletin board somewhere in Los Angeles for National Poetry Month 2025
Empty…
She sits between a knook
On a cold wind driven blvd.
Called Ventura – in Sherman Oaks
Eyes sadden by her current despair
Soul empty as she shudders
Against the cold fierce night air
While just sitting there…
Lenawee Street
I woke up this morning to a bird song
Hurrying, I put on clothes, scooted outdoors
To my surprise, right before my eyes
It was snowing on Lenawee Street
Snow was fresh and cold
The trees were naked and bold
As I walked along Lenawee Street
I walked west to the park
And gazed at the magnificent view
I walked east toward downtown
All traces of autumn were through
I walked and walked along Lenawee Street
I forgot to put on my boots
To keep the snow off my feet
As I walked up and down Lenawee Street
