National Poetry Month
Impromptu
I can't find a prompt I like
so I will write impromptu
not so bad that's how I write
it's kinda hard not to
Home
Some people call home the place they were born
Some are home wherever they roam
Home is more a state of mind
that often can't be defined
you know it when you feel it
just somehow seems to fit
Home is where the heart is
It's where you hang your hat
It's some place you're comfortable at
A Better Way to Live
Suffering is no fun
happens to everyone
Try to focus on the good
Oh if only we all could
Pain is hard to ignore
hits right down to the core
Try to think positive
It's a better way to live
ode to old shoes
A favorite pair of shoes
is hard to throw away
but sometimes you have to
What else can I say
When You Forget to Breathe
The space between breaths
is hard to pace
when you forget to breathe
I sometimes feel
like I'm holding my breath
like I forget to breathe
then i hyperventilate
and panic attack comes through
When you forget to breathe
what is one to do
Cooking My First Meal
I have no recollection
of cooking my first meal
I guess it just goes back too far
and really no big deal
A Spiderweb
Sunlight on a spiderweb
nothing comes to mind
Dewdrops on a spiderweb
you must see sometime
Something Rising from the Deep
Something rising from the deep
often find it in your sleep
Pay attention to your dreams
more important than it seems
A Hidden Alleyway
From a hidden alleyway
many stories come
Most are best just not to say
so this poem's done
