Hello, my friends!
I’ve been collecting some poems in a draft for a while now, and today I thought it’s about time to share them. 😉 I quite enjoy writing poems, and I’m so glad that you guys have enjoyed reading them so far! Hopefully that trend shall continue. 😛
Ahem, shall we begin?
moon hammock
the moon through
bare black branches
becomes a lacy hammock,
spun with delicate glowing threads,
and suspended from stars.
cradled inside,
the man in the moon
watches the people below
hurrying and worrying
about their day,
and smiles softly.
for he knows how big a problem is
in a universe
millions and millions of miles wide.
he looks at the stars and knows –
not big at all.
home
we’re back again,
back to our memory foam house
that remembers how we sat
and laid our heads
and walked the floors
and made the beds.
it welcomes us back again,
back into the old nooks and
comfortable crannies.
we slip back into
the familiar grooves,
take our old places
in hearts and homes,
and smile the smile of
back again.
we were trying to carve out
new places for ourselves,
new dips in new pillows,
new ruts in new roads,
new places in new hearts,
but carving is hard work,
you know.
so for now we snap
back into place
like a seven-piece puzzle,
and breathe a sigh of relief.
we’re home again.
wildflower
they called her
brown-eyed Susan.
she was a wildflower,
her beauty fresh and pure
as sun rays and raindrops, with
wind-blown hair
and dewdrop eyes,
poppy petal lips
and a bright daisy smile.
she lit up her meadow
and spread her heart wide.
but wildflowers stay
only for a season
and then they
…
f a d e a w a y.
first world problems
this page won’t load,
the internet is slow,
and my tv only covers half the wall.
they’re out of organic,
i ate too much,
and i had to make that crust from scratch.
my purse must weigh ten pounds in coins,
they only take cash,
but no one has change for a $100 bill.
i have nothing to do but sleep,
but there’s not enough time in the day,
and i need to get away from all this stress.
maybe i’ll go to africa.
roses
once i wandered through
an old abandoned house
whose bones had broken long ago.
and in the cellar,
hanging in the dark,
i found roses.
they were tied to the ancient rafters
with brittle, yellowed thread,
fragrant with the soft, crumbling scent
of nostalgia.
i touched a faded petal and wondered
how something so old and fragile
could still be beautiful.
and i wished
to grow older
with all the grace of
dying roses.
the voiceless
we are the voiceless;
hear our silent cry.
our eyes have never opened,
our ears have never heard,
our lips have never spoken,
but if we could, we would say…
why do the ones who gave us life,
bring us death?
what have we done
that we should die?
_
people say,
the color of your skin
doesn’t matter –
it is who you are inside.
but does your size matter?
if your heart is too small,
perhaps it does not matter
what it holds,
if it will never get a chance
to tell.
_
we are the voiceless;
hear our silent cry:
we are innocent.
you cannot prove us guilty,
but we still die –
helpless.
hopeless.
voiceless.

*sniff* Why is it so satisfying to write sad poems? :’) What do you think – do you like writing sad or happy poems/stories best? Which do you like reading best? Regardless, I hope you enjoyed these and I’d love to know which poem was your favorite!
Also, before you go, could I ask a favor of you? I have sooo many post ideas and not enough time (and data XD) to post them, so would you help me choose which ones to post first?
Thank you so much for your feedback, dear readers. ♥ Have a simply lovely day. 🙂

I sure do love poetry. You made me recall the poem lesson I taught a 2nd grade class today.

Keep up the writing. Continue working on your craft and growing your poetic intuition. A good way to cultivate yourself is to be a voracious reader, especially of poetry! I think you’ll enjoy Walt whitman (he is also the vital author for any American poet). God bless!
