Simple Scene: a poem

How pretty does the swan appear
Drifting down the pond
How strongly do the hearts endear
All God’s creatures bond

How proudly does the tree prevail
Day, night, and season
How softly does my mind exhale
No thoughts, no reason

How quickly does the rain crash down
People heading home
How slowly walking into town
Through wet streets I roam

Random Rush: a poem

Thank God I’ve never been diagnosed
With that weird bipolar thing
Course I behave the same as most
Everyone gets that fuzzy feeling
On the top of their brain
When they’re feeling good
Can’t even remember pain
And even if I could,
I don’t think I’d stop
Listenin’ to those same old grooves
Classic rock, funk, and pop
You know I still got the moves
Some of the songs I associate
with the worst memories of my life
I turn the volume up to seventy-eight
I’ll never have another moment of strife
I push the earbuds into my ears
Til the music runs through to my toes
Washes away all my fears
Let’s pull up my latest work of prose
Got more creative energy than anyone’s ever felt
My fingers flying around the keys
Got better words than anyone’s ever dealt
Sentences flow with ease
Thank God this feeling will last
I’m having such a blast

Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Don’t leave me now!
Don’t leave me!

Whatever Time It Is: a poem

I’m exhausted
I’m comfortable
I’m free from aches and pains

The air is cool
The room is dark
The bed is cozy

Yet Sleep eludes me
Hiding in some crack in the wall
Like the pest it always is

Nature Walk: a poem

Walking through the woods, mushrooms a-plenty
Gathered in my bag, fifteen or twenty
Breathing in the air, windy and crispy
Pushes at my hair, slightly too wispy
Remnants of the storm, ripped up and scattered
Fallen trees despair, beaten and battered

Huh?: a couple poems

Huh? Part One

I think we can all agree
That being straight and white
Is simply the best
Completely superior

Wait a second, I thought we were talking about teeth!

Huh? Part Two

So long there, friend
So sad to see you go,
to throw it all way

We all knew the potential you had
If you just came out of of your shell,
and showed everyone the greatness within

Wait, we’re talking about a pistachio, right?
