Tiny swallow, spring has sprung

Winter says goodbye to thee

Flying high, above the leaves

Taking in, all you can see

Call to those who know you

And those you’ve yet to meet

Tiny swallow, spread your wings

Glide on sunbeams, fast and fleet

A Twinge of Fate ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

It is, by chance, I find me here

Destiny lies in my utmost fear

Down below, the waters thrash

From up above, the falls do crash

Spraying droplets, upon my skin

As I ponder, should I jump in?

To drown in the eddies, that violently swirl

As I throw myself in, with an agonizing hurl

Or shall I sit here, letting the pain escalate?

And live with this, everlasting, twinge of fate?

Faceless ~ #poetry – plight of the #homeless

They remain faceless
Lost, in an unforgiving world

Humanity, is tasteless
On the streets, their lives, unfurled

Sneers from others, laughter
People can be so cruel

Life is a living disaster
Why isn’t this unusual?

Homeless, they fight the sun
Before night and cold alight

Hoping to find anyone
Praying for those who might

Show compassion, lend a hand
Find them shelter from the cold

For they are, just as we are, human
Hoping, they too, can grow old

Delightful raindrops

Scatter among the flora

Quenching nature’s thirst

Friday Fantasy ~ Elfin Queen – #poetry

Mystic powers, in her hands

Elfin magic, carefully planned

A talisman of water, blue

That hides the secrets, no one knew

Of how she came to be an elf

Different from her mortal self

They called her queen, with scepter tall

She ruled their world, the big and small

Never to learn that their precious queen

Knew her victory had been foreseen
