3 Poems

Poetry Is...

Poetry is
the way
words flow as you
read them

Poetry is
a rhythmic writing
with a deeper meaning

A message for the world to interpret on its own.

What Happens To A Dream Deferrd


What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it melt
like a bright red Popsicle on a hot summers day?

Does it blossom
like the sunflowers of August?

Does it sit there
like paint on a canvas?

Or does it leave
just walk out the door.

A Painting Poem


The tear was shed
after they called.
He was dead
Another one gone
Another innocent soul taken
Another cold pale carcass left to rot and spoil in the ground.
How could he allow such a thing to happen?
How could someone be so self-centered as to take thousands of others life's just to protect one's own?
How could you live with yourself
knowing you have caused so much pain
so much suffering in the world?
