Who are you that sits on a self made throne,
That’s padded with a pillow of pride,
Wearing a robe of perfection?
Your know-it-all attitude
And hastily pointing fingers,
Fill the air with dread,
As you speak words
That tear down
Someone’s
Dream.
Reverse Etheree
Postive thoughts
Create the
Stepping Stones
That lead you
To Success
Syllabic Verse
Things are not always as they seem
Sometimes life is extreme
But don’t give up on your dream
In the middle of the stream
Dont let go of your steam
Though water is stirred
Vision blurred
Stay spurred
Try!

#OctPoWriMo Day 19
(Theme based on the famous line from movie “The Notebook”
They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
They said “ You won’t win”
They said “Just give in”
They said “ Don’t even begin”
They said “Who you think you are?”
They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
I said “ I will soon win”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I will begin”
I said “ I will soon find a way”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
Double Triolet
Written to all the Naysayers from a Yaysayer
“Never Ever Give Up!” “Stand Tall” “Grow”
(When I saw this huge tall tree on my walk the other day these thoughts came to mind)
Walking thru this life
Following a trail of stars
Searching for my dream
Haiku
Believe
All the colors of the rainbow
Are within your reach
Extend yourself
And grasp
Reverse Cinquain
What should I write about?
Something I seek or see?
Something that deserves a shout?
What should I write about?
Things that I believe or doubt?
Something I hope or dream will be?
What should I write about?
Something I seek or see?
Triolet
Lovely looking
Dream, yet never grows, lacks life,
Like a Paper Rose
Haiku
Heartbeat!
A vibrant sound.
So sweet!
Breathing!
Its ins and outs,
Being!
Alive!
Dreams arise and,
Revive!
Musette
Believe the best
Forget the rest
Treasure little things
Enjoy what each brings
Cherish every day
In gratitude stay
Dream big
Never renege
Love everyone
Take time for fun
