The Writer's Way

Words flow from her fingers
like the notes a songbird sings
With those words, she paints for us
haunted hallows and broken wings.
Images showing pain endured
and obstacles all lives bring

She creates beauty and wonder
and worlds of...

one must go outside to change his mind
Making the most of the few moments
stolen in the name of unity

Chatter commotion and cachinnation
bulging at the seams,

Ghost

I’ve never and always been alone
surrounded and abandoned
all at once
Silently screaming
at the angels and demons
upon my shoulder.
Once in a while, my voice escapes
and for a moment
I am heard
but remain...

Your Time is Not Mine

Time is a funny matter
but it is not a laughing matter

Its power is momentous
just one single piece of it
can alter life as you know it

In its cuffs, we are imprisoned
forced to abide life
at a speed of its choosing

Eyes of youth...

Thank you so ver much. I wanted to highlight how the dread of family gatherings (in my case the smoker must) is easily forgotten when everyone lets loose and starts to enjoy the time together.

Absolutely beautiful. I am a real sucker for good alliteration and this takes the cake- "far fled from all favor"

You hit the nail on the head there. November first hits and Christmas music starts then, BOOM, it's Christmas eve and I haven't wrapped a single gift yet.

You are too sweet. Thank you for your kind comments. I'm still learning a lot about being an effective writer, but writing about what weighs my heart and mind seems to be a good way to resonate with readers. I hope to learn from those more seasoned than I to excel even further. Feedback definitely helps with that!

The poem perfectly sums up the reasons many question the mere existence of a God. The questions arise about existence, however, because none of us are God and could never understand the full scope of what that role would be. It's easier to question that existence than to consider all angles of all things, especially things we don't like (like good people dying too young).

This poem is so fun because there are so many ways to think about it. All of the possibilities could have their own 20/20 special, MUHUhahah!

I so appreciate your comment. I really wanted the visual of a poem being written looking much like a painter putting his work on canvas.

This piece is beautiful and so haunting. It does such a good job in conveying the fictional story that it feels auto biographical. Well done.
