Eyebrows knitted Together, A furrowing of the brow, A heaviness settles in my chest, Pounding in my ears, A whistle breaks the silence, Shrill and high, Stress fills the room. #writing #poetry #poetrycommunity

Fate The strings pulled taught, A gleaming knife, Ready to cut, Will my path diverge, With it be cut forever, Who’s to say? Only the fates know, And they spin the cloth Silently. #writing #poetry

Snow flowers Flowers peek through The snow, Little blossoms Defying the odds, A cold embrace Is better than none, Stretching for the sun, Bloom in your own time, Little ones. #poetry #writing

Breakfast Eggs cooked, Sunny side up, As the sun shines in, Toast crispy, A bit of hash browns, An American breakfast For the heart. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity

Grief The ball gets bigger, Eclipsing the sun, What comes next? I don’t really know. Just put one step in front of The other And pray. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity

Your name adorns my days without asking permission, etched into silent evenings where I mouth your syllables. #poetry #adorns #vss365

Breaking bread Large smiles, Tearing pieces off, Savoring the taste, Of honey, Dried prune, Bread fresh out of the oven, Smell wafting through the room, What a lovely way to start the morning. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity

Apple of my eye, What do you see? Do you see the stars Shining for you? Do you see the dawn crest The mountains for you? Do you see the pride In your families eyes for you? You, Dearest one, May the world seek your favor. #poetry #writing

Puzzle My mind examines the problem, Looking at every angle, A new system, For a new device, Let my makers hands Solve the problem that my Mind cannot. #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing

Pep talk I look in the mirror, The cutest face looks back at me, “You’re cute”, “You got this”, Let those dimples shine. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity

Warm embrace Whenever stressed I think of my father’s warm embrace, A soothing force In a disordered world, One second chaos, The next peace and quiet. #poetry #writing

Steeping love I’m reading a book About two lovers, Who share a love of literature. I lower my book as my lover does, I find life imitates art so nicely. Maybe someone will read will read about our love story someday. #poetry #writing

Am I a good poet? Heavens no. My minds fails, My pen flounders, But I am trying. The more ink spilled, The more words fulfilled. I will make myself a prophecy That suits me well. #poetry #writing

Future love With brown eyes, The color of coffee in the morning, My wake up call, To enjoy the stillness of domesticity, Ground me in your soil, Let me hear your heart beat, A thrumming through me, A call to love, To look in your eyes And be loved in full. #poetry #writingcommunity

Be wild, Be free, Let your senses explore, Smell flowers, Taste berries, Feel the texture of petals, You are uncaged, Living in a vast world, Allow your senses to flourish, Breath in the world, And breath out joy. #poetry

To those who feel lost / part two: Whatever that may be, Allow your siblings in the sky to lend a helping hand, You are stardust walking, living, Breathing, On earth, Wherever you walk, Flowers will grow, Simply make sure the path is one that deserves you. #poetry

For those that feel lost /part one: I am routinely lost, Lost in emotions, With my head in the clouds, Lost in the world, Searching for recognition, Choose the stars as your guide, For you are made of stardust, They will light your path… #poetry

Christmas Day, No snow on the ground, But cheer in our hearts, A simple warmth spreads between loved ones, One of knowledge and devotion, Familial love strengthens the bond, Fresh eyes look towards a new year, Hand in hand, Drinking in the festivities, And embracing each other. #poetry

His eyes gaze into mine, Blue like glaciers, Pure water dazzling, Frosty air fills my lungs, Snowflakes catch on his lashes, A winter I am sure to remember. #poetry

Making interesting sentences: A signal of shining majesty sparks my eye. #sentence

His eyes sparkle, A miniature star catching the light, A touch of mischief, Spilling over the brim, An Irish coffee on a dark night. #poetry
