I Feel Like Writing a Poem

Poem: I feel like writing a poem

 

 

 

I feel like writing a poem...

Something about the way I feel

Something about the things I see...

Something about the thankfulness for good health...

And good feelings

 

I feel like writing a poem...

Because I am alive

A thought about love...

Happiness and more

 

I feel like writing a poem...

Everyone’s around enjoying the moments

Wonders of life...

Experiences to treasure

 

I feel like writing a poem...

Zephyr is so comforting

The breeze of heaven and the faithful sun...

The ocean's so enticing

 

Time's being transformed...

Into words of appreciation

The future... only a heart beat away

Every moment in time...

Is poetic and real

 

I feel like writing a poem...

About something to treasure...

The joy that brings humbleness and prayer

To a soul in need of sustenance

Why?

Poem Why?

 

 

The word of curiosity…

The symbol of insights

We want to know…

That’s why we ask

 

Full of knowledge…

The answers wait

Not always welcoming…

It’s the response still

 

Seeking the truth…

Being nosey

Inquisitive to a specific end…

In search to ease a vexing dilemma

 

Why?

The heart of the spirit

The soul’s working…

And compiling comprehension

 

The more we identify…

The further we don’t

 We’re consumed…

 By issues infinite

The Web

Poem: The Web

 

The web is where I am
doing all things that I can

The web is where I shall be
growing like a big strong tree

 

The web is relatively new
and where opportunities spew

The web is for me
and for you!

 

Who invented this web for sure
was it really Al Gore?

It really doesn't matter…

As it's everyone's platter

 

The web was handed to all
both big and small

The future is bright hence
so, don't just sit on a fence

 

Take advantage of the web
while the sun is just over head!

Waves on a Roll

Poem: Waves on a roll…

 

 

Waves on a roll


 

Frosty gush briskly curls athwart the reef…

Romantically hushed theater with breathtaking vigor

Keen to the superb moment…

Rolling waves with splendid fondness

… A revered domain with thoughts complete

 

Energy flow mightily in adulation…

Revealing the power of serene mystery

Quietly impressive with dazzling skies…

A depiction of priceless attraction

 

Power and grandeur colorfully naked…

Gifted ocean acclaimed and trusted

Rich in inspired presence, and comforting surprise…

Flowing in authentic fortunes valued and dear

 

Ocean dynamic and enthusiastic…

Ingenious splash the end awe touch

Sight remarkable wet and wild…

Cozy wind flows like love in action

 

I witnessed the amazement with full approval…

…and I pray for more waves of devout marvel

The ones that speak liberty and harmony

…and emphasize the superb day with insightful gusto

Waiting Patiently

Poem: Waiting Patiently

 

 

 

In anticipation of good news…

The moment of truth eludes

More time for quiet reflection…

And the test of patience too

 

The hands of destiny controls the tempo…

I’m helpless in its grip

Tolerantly the prize I wait…

Remembering so clear the old adage:

Good things come indeed…

To those who uncomplainingly wait

 

Inventory of self…

Preparing for the challenge

One’s on the horizon…

Soon to be manifest

 

Put in order until then…

Praying for readiness and endurance

Unwearyingly in gear…

For the new day and a fresh start

 

Oh the waiting…

The hearty experience

…Is worth relating

True Friends

Poem: True Friends

 

 

 

Soldiers in life…

Victorious in battles

Brothers and sisters… worthy proved

Hearts are golden, pure and true!

 

In distressful times…

They’re on my side

Dependable really…

Unmatched collateral

 

Faithful beyond duty…

Practicing the art truthfully

Existing to support…

Maintaining a strong foundation

 

True brotherhood…

Kindness supreme

Ports of security…

People esteemed

 

God sent…

In every livable respect

True friends…

Prized possessions
