Young or Old?

Posted on by Leonas Lines

I’m too young to be old,
So I’m often told.
And yes, I’d quite agree
Since age means little to me.
I think and act very youthful,
But I must be truthful,
So I’ll dispel myth with my tongue.
“I’m too old to be young”

Winter’s Snowfall

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Snow!
So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!

Appearing

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Appearing out of nowhere,
These old enemies of mine,
Cause me to falter
As I begin to write each line.

Self Doubt, Intimidation, Fear,
All make their appearance.
They cause my mind to wander,
With their sudden interference.

Yet somewhere within me,
Another appearance is made.
Confidence and Determination enter,
And cause those enemies to fade.

Once again I begin to write,
And the challenge I do undertake.
It appears my poems will be written,
And perhaps a chapbook I will make!
