Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Your way: 1 of 80
HUMILITYStep wise, O Horseman of my heart,Lest wrongly you decideWhich barren road is best to fleeThe Valley of My Pride.I sense your soulful progress deepThrough forests grown from fears,Avoiding husks of empty deedsAnd shadows made of mirrors.You dare not halt or slow your stepLest twilight overtakesAnd finds you bogged in ...

MY DAUGHTER'S NOTEBOOKLast night after our goodnight kiss,I stumbled at her door-A notebook lay in disarrayUpon her bedroom floor.Homework papers from that dayWere spilling from inside,So I stooped down to pick it upTo save scholastic pride.But as the vinyl cover closed,I saw, to my surprise,That all the secrets of her lifeWe...

I HEARD YOU... I heard you lived in Palestine Born from a virgin womb,But all I found were drops of bloodBeside an empty tomb I heard you lived among the stars I searched the Pleiades,But only found an angels' songUpon the cosmic breeze... I heard you lived within our mindsAs mans' philosophy,So I traversed its twists and ... More..

SUNRISE SONG Above, the moon's unworldly glowBestows a calm on trees below,Illuminating shades of grayIn those who yearn for break of day. From feathered wings, no rustle heard,They watch in darkness; every birdMaintains a vigil to the east,Composing praises yet released.Together, framed against the dark,The midnight crow an... More..

I KNOW A PLACE... I know a place just out of sightWhere truth dispels the darkest nightAnd angels whisper in delightTo share a perfect plan... So far away, yet in our midst,Prepared for those who dare persist Through tribulations reminiscedBefore the earth began. A kingdom waits around the bendToo great for us to comprehe... More..

SEPTEMBER SKIESOnce upon an autumn morn,Where doves aspire to fly,They stood in monolithic grace,Against a cloudless sky.Who amongst us could have dreamed,Before that day was through,An avalanche of steel and glass,Would bury what we knew.The flames of anger billowed forth,And spread across the sea,To seek out ancient battle...

MOVIE NIGHTIt's Sunday night-We all agreeTo gather asA family;The popcorn pops,Kids fight for space,A silver discIs put in placeAnd lights are dimmedTo help enhanceThe film we pickTo give a chance;The movie drags,Our naughty sonTakes careful aimAnd just for funThrows a kernelThrough the air,Striking sisterIn the hair,Who send...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Don't pity me: 4 of 147
If you see me on the streetAnd wonder where I live,Or feel the urge to take my handAnd ask what you can give,Don't pity me from what you seeOr shake your head and groan -For I am walking with my LordAnd never walk alone. Yes, my tattered clothes are wornAnd shoes are wearing thin,But actually, they look quite goodIn light o... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A kiss: 9 of 168
ELEPHANT LOVE Have you ever heard the gruntsOf adolescent elephantsWhen planning their first goodnight kiss?It is a sight you should not miss-To see the nervous sweat and squirmsOf those pubescent pachyderms,Each swaying gently to and froUnsure of where their noses go. More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Religion: 8 of 137
REVELATION I tried to match Religion's strideBut stumbled on my sin,I tried to live Religion's rulesBut took it on the chin,I tried to hear Religion's voiceBut failed to understand Until you reached down from the crossAnd took me by the hand More..
