Acrostic poem-

Dragonfly

Day dreaming you sit starring out your window
Right then a beautiful dragonfly lands near by
As it rests, you look on studying it
Great big eyes seem to be looking back
On its back, wings that look fake as the glisten in the sun
Not wanting to startle it you move slowing
For a second you decide you want to catch it
Leaving it alone to be on its way
You realize it’s meant to be free.

Losing you-

I did not believe this could happen

how can something seem so perfect

now, turn into this

i try to forget the memories

shred the notes and delete the emails

put all the pictures away in a box

hoping it will help but knowing it wont

Extended Metaphor

Ice Dancers-
Dressed in white
Laced with a bow
Floating across the frozen dance floor
Beauty and elegance
As they flawlessly race
Twirling and dancing
No one can stop them
They leap, they spin
One move after another
Then the music ends
They glide to the edge
The show is over

Extended metaphor

My pen-

like a car without its key
the key that holds the power
I wait anxious and ready to see the next adventure
Maybe we will go to Florida
Or to visit a friend near by

Waiting for my key to come unlock me
Unlock me from my frozen prison
The ideas and thoughts waiting to escape
To leave a trail on the map
Like a car, nothing without my key.

Today is....

Today is

Today is the sun rising over the trees
Today is a bird flying above
Today is a flower pedals to stem.
Today is a garden full of food
Today is the sun warming the air
Today is laughter with people who care.
Today is a face without any tears
Today is a smile, ear to ear
Today is a day without out an end
Today is a memory to hold dear.
