Poet (an acrostic poem)

Placing emotions on a page, then folding them into intricate origami dioramas of life

Or pluck stars from the sky and plant them under mountains to grow gemstone geodes

Even distill humanity, boil off the dross, and serve up a potent shot of pure intoxication and misery

Then crumple up the whole thing, delete the file, and try again since the craft was not perfected

Puppies and kittens, batting their mittens

And all we can do is say awe

Watching them play, makes the sad go away

Shenanigans that help us guffaw

Struggle (an acrostic emotional adventure)

So many troubles were raining down on her

That she was soon soaked to her soul with all the consequences

Rising depression threatened to drown her as she stood there

Unless she figured out how to swim through the morass of her life

Giving up was always an option

Going under and never resurfacing again

Life would just go on for those around her

Except she knew that was a lie, so she began to tread water and searched for the safety of shore

An Irish Limerick

Saint Patrick’s day has passed

But it’s effects will continue to last

The green beer did run

Gave many some fun

Until into the toilet they cast 

The Advent of You (a Fib poem)

A Fib is a poem using the Fibonacci sequence.  That means the number of syllables per line are 1/1/2/3/5/8.  I hope you enjoy!

 

Hope
Love
Joy, Peace
Light your fire
Shine your light outward
Be a beacon in the darkness

An Unknown Story (told in verse)

Both were held in contempt of court

Two pairs of jeans found on the beach

They witnessed it all

But they refuse to testify

Sailing on Asphalt (a poem)

Cars sail along rivers of black

……………..Their soulless eyes searching for rest

……………………………..That only their final destination can provide.
