The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Old and frail she climbs

Each step harder than the next

She is determined

The top seems so far away

But, oh the reward that waits

                ~~~

Touching the heavens

The fruit of her labor shines

A glorious sight

She smiles when she reaches it

Content, she withers away

The
Faces
Remain here
Haunting my soul
Each one different
But still the same being
This, the house where I grew up
No longer holds fond memories
Instead it bears the marks of a child
Forgotten, alone, fending off evil
An evil that still dwells inside of it
How I long to rid myself of it
Banish it to another world
Yet, I remain stuck within
A gruesome gabled home
With fiendish faces
Always ogling
Rescue me
Fondly
Anne

For years I’ve written about fortitude

Though, I may never welcome fame

As a person, I’d much rather be viewed

As someone who’s conquered the pain

Interview with an Umpire – #MayWriting – #poetry

I knew that this would not be easy
They said “do it” or else I’d be fired
Making my way, out onto the field
I had an interview with the umpire

He seemed like a really nice guy
As I slowly walked to home plate
When I got there, I started to sweat
But, figured, Hey! This should be great

I’ll get tight with the one who calls strikes
Surely, he’d never catch on to my plan
Perhaps, maybe not, I better play it safe
I’m just the manager, but he’s the man

Everything seemed to go smoothly
On my face, I was wearing a smile
The umpire looked at me strangely
In fact, it was more like a bit hostile

Making my way back to the dugout
I suddenly heard a loud shout
I turned around, but before I could yell
He said, “That’s it. I’ve had it! You’re OUT!”

The Irony of It ~ #poetry #FOWC #DWP

It’s quite curious, this thing we call life

There is irony in the way that we live it

Our sarcasm far outweighs our strife

It’s as if we’re trying hard, to forgive it
