I found her lying ‘tween the clover

Then tiptoed, not to make a sound

Though fast asleep, I could feel her

Heartbeat, pulsing, off the ground

Her essence left a heady fragrance

Lifted from the dampened earth

And I couldn’t help but wonder why

She chose this place to give it worth

So hidden, deep, within these woods

Where no one else could find her

A tired Mother Earth, took rest

As the beauty of land, entwined her

Where to Begin ~ #poetry

Nothing was working, frustration set in

I should start over, but where to begin?

Jumbled up messes, stuck in my head

Maybe it’s time I take a break, but instead

I continue to trudge, through this mess

No cause for alarm, it’s probably stress

Step away from the keyboard, back again

To many words are stuck tight from within

Hands on the keys, glazed eyes in a dream

I’m pretty sure, you just heard me scream!

Leave the office, go find something to eat

Perhaps I can fuel the verses with sweets

No, that will never work, they’re diabetic

This is what happens when I am frenetic

Try to calm down, take it one at a time

But the words, continue to play, a mime

They move about, but never do they speak

It’s more like they’re playing hide and seek

Okay, that’s enough, for now, they can win

I should start over, but where to begin?

This week, Colleen has given us the words Cold and Safe as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as an Etheree, I chose Chills and Protected.


He
Is one
With the night
Under the pitch
Talons reach upward
Protected by the moon
It calls to his hidden side
Sending wicked chills down his spine
This energizing spirit incites
And he breathes it all in, aware, alive

Tis but a dream that wakes my mind

And feeds my soul with visions kind

That whirls the colors in my head

Breathes new life, to them, instead

But oh the mysteries it does reveal

When in my heart, these feelings, real

Draw me away from reality’s door

To find me, forever, wanting more

And the more I find, as I journey, yon

Reminds me to venture, on and on

Why is it that the stars, can glow nightly?

But I easily burn out, exhausted, unsightly

My body dares me, to move about, quickly

Until the nerves become angered and prickly

Deciding I should, at last, just park it

Before something else, happens to spark it

Into a raging inferno, of liquid molten rock

When I look in the mirror, I see total shock

On a face I don’t recognize, how could it be

That the face in the mirror, used to be me
