Hello.

My name is John Malcolm Pouch and I am a writer, author and poet.  I have been writing for many years and have four books in current publication. My fifth will be published in the Spring of 2008. 

I am the son of Mary Pauline Collier, a Kentucky poet who left behind numerous books and journals .  Her lastest work, published in 2007, nine years after her death, is titled Kentucky Woman, can be previewed and purchased by clicking on the Kentucky Woman link above.

I was born in Winchester, Ky. Our family moved to Huntington, W.Va. when I was four years old and when I was 16, we moved again to Detroit Michgan, where I currently reside.  I have been part of Detroits dynamic and talented writing communtity since moving here in 1960.

 This personal site is meant  to aquaint you with my work and latest publications.  Enjoy your stay, look around, read some poems, follow some of the links to other great sites, submit a poem or story for possible publishing on the guest writers page or visit some of the great writers listed on the Links page. However long your visit lasts, may it bring you a an appreciation and an opportunity to enjoy a few of my favorite writings.

By the way, come back often as poems change periodically.

Thanks for visiting!

Sincerely,

John Malcolm Pouch

 

 

 A Blue Reflection

 

Oh shunt I see the blue reflection

simmering in your eyes or ride the wind

on silver wings upon the

purple skies, then may we least

dream by the moon as it plays

upon the tears

that we cry so often in 

life’s golden years.

Oh be it not our folly

to live as youth would say, we

have lingered much longer than

perhaps we meant to stay.  We have

seen the years like child,

 innocent and sweet,

and through it all we totter

on brink of life complete.

 

We shall not want for anymore,

our time has been well spent and

kindness and mercies were 

both received and lent…..so

when it is time for the sun

to hide beneath dark clouds, may

the blue reflection of our parting

shine ever on life’s brow.
