With You
Saturday, April 19th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day#19) With this life I live You remain by my side With no strength to give In you I can abide Your warmth; your passion The comfort of your breast Your smile; your laugh With you I find rest You have no agenda No reason to doubt No jealousy; nor fear When we’re out [...]
A Beautiful Sky
Friday, April 18th, 2008(NaPoWriMo #18) The sun feels good Shining on my eyelids The warmth brings much needed comfort I feel it embracing my body A strong contrast to the cool Wet grass cushioning my back Like a child awakening from bed I reluctantly open my eyes I see birds flying over head A sparrow giving chase to [...]
The Rented Parking Space of Mr. J. Delaney
Thursday, April 17th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day#17) To Whom It May Concern, I am the one who Side-swiped your car I am truly sorry I was trying to avoid An abnormally large cat That jumped from behind A nearby garbage can To pounce on a rolling Styrofoam cup spinning by In the gentle breeze Blowing through the garage I swerved [...]
I Hate Poetry
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day #16) I am struggling to know you Your words strung around my mind Like Christmas tree lights Around a dying, brittle tree I try to deconstruct your meaning But the words become tangled Hyperbole and simile are lost to me I am learning to create you The molding of your form eludes me [...]
Onondaga Creek
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day #15) We would hunt for crayfish In the slightly rocky waters Of Onondaga creek It was a slight detour On the two mile walk Home from middle school Backpacks found rest On the hill descending Down under the bridge As cars drove overhead Overlooking the peace below Where nature spoke our names
For The Listener
Monday, April 14th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day#14) Today’s poem is inspired from this picture that I took at a show last night. The band is "Listener Project" which consists of Dan Smith, aka Listener, and his wife Kristen (playing the washing machine and bass). In a band together They band together To make music for the masses For those whose [...]
They Whisper My Name
Sunday, April 13th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day #13) I wonder what it must be like To be in the midst of war. To Fight for a cause you do not Believe in. To kill those who do Not believe as you do. The sounds Of bullets flying past your ears Whispering words of hate; Words of Love for families left [...]
New Day’s Shine
Saturday, April 12th, 2008(NaPoWriMo Day#12) The tiredness in the eyes Brings hope of a new day’s shine The desire for sleep is the mind’s Disguise for forgetfulness Of memories it wishes to erase Scenarios it wants to change Visions of reality that it can not Hide from. So it chooses sleep Shutting down all processing To be recycled [...]
Backpack Heroes
Saturday, April 12th, 2008(NaPoWriMo #11) This is the moment I have waited for Blue sky brilliance reflecting from mirrored glasses Backpack strapped tightly over hunched shoulders Left foot planted solidly on skateboard Right foot armed and ready for go The glasses; they protect the eyes from the wind As we speed down steep declines The backpack; it adds [...]
