Have You Ever?
Have you ever been told “No!”
Stopped when you wanted to go
Denied passage within
Rejected for the color of your skin
Refuted for something you’ve said
Sought friendship but were scorned instead
Vetoed for taking a stand
Mocked for the goals you’ve planned
Nothing but bills in the mail
Everything you try seems to fail
You’re not alone my friend
I’ve gone round and round that bend
Someday our ships will come in
Someday it’ll be our turn to win!

At Sunrise
I wrote a poem today inside my head,
It’s positivity chased dread.
It’s words uplifted and carried,
Those dreary thoughts that tarried,
And freed my mind to see,
The joy awaiting me,
In a new day,
Where I may,
Start new!
True?

Oft times nestle?
Or sometimes wrestle?
A broken vessel?
Not feeling very special?
Run to God, He’s your trestle

Slipping Away
Each day you were here
Your presence
Envoked me to cheer
But now I’m trading
Cheer away
Fragrance fading
Color growing dim
Life ebbing
Losing all your vim
I am losing you
Never more
To be within view
With a tear in my eye
My sweet rose
I bid you goodbye
Your petals I’ll keep
As they fall
Like tears I weep

Two Words
I shot a cruel word into the air
Hitting the tablet of a heart
It crushed and laid it bare
I shot a kind word into the air
With loving thought and care
A hope and dream it did impart
Rhyme
Words have power to destroy or build up.
Think before you speak.
A Golden Rose
This little flower wasn’t in the garden of a queen,
Or even in a place where it might be seen,
Yet it was beautifully dressed,
Looking it’s best, as if blessed,
Bringing joy where it dwelt,
Sharing fragrance with any who smelt.
Oh that I, daily might try, to be
An affinity, in similarity.

Facing Fear
For many a year
I lived with my greatest fear.
Controlled by his power,
I used to cower
At the thought of leaving him.
But as my eyes became dim,
I had to make a choice
To listen to him, or another’s voice
Who was telling me
From this fear I had to flee.
So as God held my hand,
I made a stand!
I faced that fear, told it to go.
It stared at me, and it said “NO!”
Knees shaking, I dug in my feet,
I was determined it to defeat!
I stood my ground,
New strength I found,
To conquer fear’s intimidating frown,
And make it shrink,and back down.
And then with God’s power I overcame,
I crushed that fear in Jesus’ Name!

Difficult Day
What can I say,
About this day?
If my wish were a horse,
I’d have used force,
And just galloped away,
Have my way, and not stay.
But determination won,
And I didn’t run!
This day was not fun,
But now it’s done.
I didn’t give up!
I drank of its bitter cup,
And I came thru,
Battered ‘tis true,
A bit worse for the wear,
But I don’t care!
I didn’t taste defeat,
And Victory’s so sweet!
Rhyme
Sense or Nonsense?
I see the look of the musician,
I think he’s angry at the omission.
He finds it hard to comprehend
Overshadowing the note’s loose end
Causing a chirping like a flamingo
Creating a strange and quirky lingo.
Spoken badly by the blues singer,
Please don’t let this composition linger
Music and song need thought and time
Senses suffer in nonsense rhyme

( I found an online Poem Generator that I decided to try out today. It had me type in nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc and then it generates what is supposed to be a poem! 🙂 haha. However, I took what seemed to me to be complete nonsense and rewrote it to at least, perhaps, have some meaning. 🙂
Any thoughts? What do you think? Does it make any sense or is it just nonsense?
