As the boat drew nearer to the arch

She could see what the others meant

This was not just any ordinary bridge

Certainly not one she should circumvent

Rather one, whose reflection, did cast

A full circle, ever still, in the water’s flow

And on the other side, could be seen

The gentle breezes, of winds that blow

Serenity lived, beyond the stone expanse

She was anxious, now, to make it through

Knowing she’d never get a second chance

She crossed over, disappearing from view

If we magnify the beauty, found in our fellow man

We will experience life, from a much different angle

Of course, not everything will be as we wish it to be

But, tis nobler to concede this, than it is to wrangle

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Cold and Storm.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Raw and Disturbance.


Such disturbance, I have never felt
Penetrating, my inner thoughts
Festering, this wound, bleeding
Revealing, my self-doubt
Seizing, the moment
Until at last
Defeated
I am
Raw

What is it, with you humans, and dressing up your pets?
Can’t you see how silly, this whole thing really gets?

At first, it’s just a bandana, then another thing or two
Enough already, seriously, I’m starting to look like you!

It doesn’t matter how much, I protest this ludicrous clothing
I finally figured it out, aha! I’m wearing what you’re loathing!

You decided, you don’t like it, so it means I probably will
Guess again, come on, for real? I’m not looking very chill

Okay, I’ll admit I’m intrigued, I really like the glasses
But next time, please, if you will, put them on the asses

Martin Luther King Jr., the man, who had a dream

Imagined that life could be beautiful, this is true

So, why is it, we cannot get along with one another?

Why is it our words are, so often, misconstrued?

 

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
