Take Flight

Pausing, take a breath

Deep into lungs

Aching with love,

Knuckles wrap the door,

Hummingbird, fluttering heart

Soaring up, away

Out of sight, lost

Daring to say

My heart, ever yours

True Story

I was told to write a poem,

"Only nine lines long, is it to be",

That was the decree I received.

Sigh as I might, I have things to do,

"Kitchen the clean too, need I!"

Cry in vain I do,

For no one cares that dishes pile high!

With saddened heart, I finish my write,

Now to the dishes, they give me a fright!

Backwards?

Forward is the norm for me

Not Blindly- but that I might see

This challenge, I wish I understood

That would help this write be good

But backwards is the test you see

So backward is what it must be

For PhynneBelle's requested poetry

Finally! The end to this

But it was one I could not miss!

Comprehend

I threw out logic long ago

And replaced it with words plentiful

Who said I needed logic

I have never heard such a thing

Comprehending comprehend can't I

I don't even know what I'm saying

I try to ignore words now

Logic makes everything confusing

And I would rather not have that.

Juxtapose(d)

I will love you

all the days of my life,

a life laced with ardor.

Couldn't have dreamt

would I That

never have had such nightmares,

nightmares of smothering terror.

All the years of my life

I have hated you.

Hunting season

I hear gunshots from a distance

My wings beat faster

Escaping danger, remembering pain

Faster, my head screams!

Flight in fear

There are calls up ahead

Then another bang

Blood clouds my vision

Disjointed, I fall.

MY Canine!

My pooch, my pooch,

that li'l mooch,

always stealin' socks,

out the bin, out the box.

Cute too is Dahlia,

so I really can't stay mad,

not matter when she's bad.

She's my best furry friend,

from now until the end.

Backwards

They told me to write,

The first thing that came to mind,

Forwards,

Now write it backwards,

Backwards,

Now write it backwards,

Forwards,

The first thing that came to mind,
