Poetry


Haiku Poem
FALLing

Brown leaves rustling
Subtle breeze floating across
Autumn has risen.

Limerick Poem
The Man from Greece

There once was a man from Greece
Who had a big house made of cheese
A mouse came along
But he had it all wrong
Because a cat chased him with ease.

Free Verse Poem
The Other Side of the World

The simplest things in an everyday life
Whether it be laughter, sadness, or happiness
Create a mold in a person, a structure
A foundation to strive through one’s outlook
Or an obstacle to block one’s path.

But what if that structure were to be flipped around?
What if laughter became sadness and sadness became enjoyment?
What if your one obstacle became your best friend?
Or your life’s dreams became your enemy?
What happens when you are on the other side of the world?

The cold, hard drops of rain danced on the grass
While the rainbows crashed and burned into ashes
The tiniest crack in the concrete floor came alive to eat you
As the dangerous wind’s breeze blew past your face
What would life be without a structure or purpose? 

Free Verse Poem #2
Questioning the Ultimate Gift

Gift. A gift. What is a gift?
Something solid, an object?
An ideology? A thought?
Or a connection between someone?

Is it really the thought that counts?
The ultimate gift, the care and thought
Remains unknown, deep within oneself
Defined by one’s personality, one’s character.

The feeling of happiness
Bringing a depth of brightness
A light to someone’s eyes
The joy that brings purpose.

Nothing is complete without a patch
A patch of friendship or love
The ability to restore what was left
To embrace your self-passion.

The bond of friendship
The glue that holds both together
The shoulder to lean on
Forming the perfect harmony.

Sharing moments, glimpses of hope
Enjoying all that life has to offer, together
Being one and the other, always trusting
Each other, at all times, stuck on each other.

The ultimate gift is the gift of life
Without which our lives
Feel the emptiness and blank canvas
Without color or sparkle and shine.

The enormous heart for one
The once in a lifetime opportunity
To show who you are to everyone
And be proud to just be you.

Ballad Poem
The Strive to Move Forward

The thoughts that of which awaken the soul
Those of which embark the peppery steam in our minds
To think, to feel is the strive to move forward.

Failure coming alive to disintegrate the sorrow
The red and black colors breaking apart the anticipation
To think, to feel is the strive to move forward.

The soft sigh of relief once the gift of success is granted
The wondrous warmth of happiness filling up the empty gap
To think, to feel is the strive to move forward.

The goose bumps jumping at your hairs on your arms, lifting
The tears steadily dripping down your face with grace
To think, to feel is the strive to move forward.

The hope to be blessed with the wisest of words
To be granted an opportunity to grab and pocket success
To be known for doing the right from the wrong
To think, to feel is the strive to move forward.

Ode Poem
“Ode to Dance”

Hair tied up
Sitting in position, ready to
Move gracefully and rhythmically
A step, a move, a stance

Strong as it stood
Without hesitation
Seeing the light, the picture coming
To life with rainbows bursting out

The crash of a fall, the blood
Splashing out, dripping off
Picking up the stone
Throwing it back harder

One gesture to another
One emotion, morphing into
The next, face to face
Seeing the view once again

The applause growing louder, cries of
Joy and fulfillment
Building up the confidence
Creating a proud future.

Elegy Poem
What is Perception?

Thoughts, words, inner feelings
Crushed and turned to ash
Blown away like dust
What has life become?

Have lies and misunderstandings equalized?
How has perception flipped me upside down?
The inner thoughts have lingered at last
Finally swooping its journey to come out.

But as time progressed, my actions
Have turned into the complete opposite
Never has life been blocked by the past
Never has thought been so important.

As Hitler, the almighty and manipulative
Used propaganda, his plan for defeat
His tactics switched a German’s mindset
And all he believes now is how Hitler is a “God.”

There lies our hopes and dreams, in a cemetery
Next to the stone block for the will to live
Life has ultimately disappeared, just as if it never existed
Never has life been so empty, or useless to those alive.

Why not just die? Why has life been covered?
Why was the cold-hearted and stone wall built?
To be perceived as the failure covering your path?
Or to cause a slip in an endless plan for hope?

Remembering life before, like a faraway dream
Never has it been the sole enemy
The locks on the door, sealed shut
Molding the weak key into a state of depression.

The simple things, tasks, actions
Have all turned into nothing special
Except for misunderstandings
The new center of attention.

Stream of Consciousness Poem
Words, just words…

Colors flow out on a canvas Painting a PICTURE
Water droplets drip down her eyes
Heart POUNDING and THUMPING without notice
Words change all meaning yet never thoughts! Why! How stubborn to one’s mind!
How the air is so still how the wind is so free how the thoughts are so full yet empty
Why do meanings define words and why not be self-defined by those who use them?
Why are words words and letters letters.
The color blue majestically flies and the feathers of birds construct a landscape
words
letters
thoughts
friends
family
life
the world
now our world
our family
is now your family
WORDS separate aspects never realized or thought by one or those that come to mind.
