Self-doubt is a lousy affliction

Some even call it an addiction

I just need some desire

To reach up and aspire

Thus, hitting my goals, with conviction

*

Though pinches of positivity

Could bring about creativity

Need to believe who I am

And get with the program

Sounds like the perfect activity!

One morning while sanding my deck

(Which by the way is a pain in the neck)

I fell down in a hole

Met a cute little troll

Now I live there, too, what the heck

 

Inspired by a true event (sans the troll).

She is
A frozen beauty
In the night
The aurora
Of lights

Shimmering

Cold

Dark

Deadly

A vision
Reflecting
Jewels
Gleaming
The crown
She holds

Alluring

Her offer

Enticing

Accept it, and she will freeze
Your soul

Whatever shall I make for dinner?

The cupboard is bare, nothing new

It has to be something that’s tasty

I know! I’ll make some alphabet stew

I can’t remember where I put them

Those letters, always on the loose

I need to gather enough of them

To allow me, this stew, to produce

Finally finding the package

I take what I need to proceed

An S, a U, two P’s and an E

Exactly the letters I need

But wait! Something is missing

This really is quite bizarre

I thought I had it altogether

But my supper is missing its R

I am as black as a raven

Against the brightest moon

I venture, seeking solace

Taken from me, too soon

Ebony night, speak to me

Let peace and tranquility abound

Shadows enveloping, sheathing

Their spirits dance, profound

A settling calm, stormless

Sends me deeper into the vast

I am no longer searching

The darkness has claimed me

At last
