You may have noticed that I got a haircut! With that change, thanks to DouglasArtStudio, I have a brand new header as well! The other change is that rather than the typical blog, April is National Poetry Month, so I thought it might be a nice change to share some.
Throughout April, I will be writing poetry, and every Monday for my blog, I will post some old and some new poems I have written. I would love for you to share your poems in the comment section or tell us about your favorite poet.
Let the poetry begin ...
He bounces through the town
He bounces up and down
First, he is hot Then he is not Weather, you're making me frown
~2018~
Fast-flowing fluffy flakes fall
with winter wandering wistfully
over other obvious
seasons,
just
because
it
can. ~2018~
Broken Hearted Again
Once someone comes close, I push away
Hide behind walls, fearful, afraid
The someone whispers, "It will be alright,
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight."
Stay back don't promise, tell me no lies
Leave me alone, all I want is to cry
Stop it don't do that, hugs aren't for me
Why can't you, won't you, just let me be?
You say you loveme, you say don't ask why
I cannot tell, I think it's a lie
Why must you hang on to something not there?
Why do you keep on pretending to care?
Everyone needs someone, that's what you say
Not me, no one, please stay away
You'll make me care, and what happens then?
The same as before, broken hearted again.
~ Echoes of Yesterday 1994 ~
Jump to your feet
Reach for the sky
Raise your hands above you
Wave to say "Hi!"
The world is yours
You have nothing to fear
Ride on that rainbow
Your path is all clear
~2022~
Puddles are made to be jumped in
Every child knows
Trees are meant to be climbed
Every child knows
Truths should always be spoken
Every child knows
Hugs are for everyone
Every child knows
Flowers are meant to be sniffed and
Colors are meant to be awed,
Cookies are for breakfast and
Rolling in dirt cleans the soul.
Every child knows
~2022~
Plain white ........................................................................................................Not plain white.
