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.


With each key he played, the monster, alive
Unaware was he, as he continued his song
Though he felt a presence, he could not decide
What it was he had been feeling, all along

Through the trees, moonbeams danced
It was though they could hear every note
The stars came down, wondering, perchance
If his playing was what kept them afloat

His life, in a book, his fantasies, played
As time passed by, the pages yellowed
He took in stride, what his mind displayed
All those nightmares, had truly mellowed

So he played, and he played, each note his own
Not caring what was happening around him
He knew from the start, this king on his throne
That his dreams would always surround him

She waited for him
By their favorite table
Snow covered ground
Frosty air, set the scene

Looked quite debonair
For his sweetheart, Mable
A bow tie around his neck
Nothing less for his queen

On his tray was a cupcake
With a cherry on top
Said he loved her dress
That she looked really keen

To her, he was her hero
And she was the cream of the crop
Their romance, lasted only a season
Just like Old Man Winter, had foreseen

Indifference ~ #poetry #RDP #FOWC

Those who claim to be unaware, are simply negligent

While they go about their day, living with indifference

They turn a blind eye to the falling, becoming pestilent

We need to be the contrast to them, their deliverance

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?

When in edit mode

Remember small victories

Never questioning

What is real or fantasy

It is who we are inside
