Some poems

Every Thursday I have my after school club, which is Creative Writing. Some of these poems I share with the students. Some I don't (for obvious reasons). We talked about haiku and acrostic poems recently.

 

*

High in the clean air

Very green or white sometimes

Too heavy to move

*

Tall, high and below

I’m moving in the soft wind

Please don’t cut me down

 *

Hearts beat double time.

Oh they pray the sun will shine!

Come out from grey clouds

*

Sad and depressed. I am

Overwhelmed with operational depression.

Righting wrongs is hard for me to do. I'm searching for a

Road to healing.

You are my savior?

*

He thinks I’m naïve

I think he truly loves me

Fooled, abused girl

*

Help the sad soul, for she has no place to go

Evil lives within and has no way out

All that she knows she cannot trust

Let the pain and suffering go, but how?

Inward she searches for peace and understanding

Nothing is revealed to her

Go out and help the sad soul, for she has no place else to go

 *

Suddenly we feel a peace,

Underneath the shady tree.

May we lie down by a stream?

May we fall asleep and dream?

Eager are we as we wait to

Remember our final fate.

*

Maybe she will get better

Able to see the glass half full

Regretting one essential choice

Listening to no one still

Envious of those who are healed

Not believing in no one still

Agnostic

*

Silence

Let my eyes fall

Eighty minutes later still no sleep

Eighty nights later still no sleep

Please let me sleep.

 *

Early in the morning you wake.

X is not the answer to make.

All you need to know you know.

Many hours might go by slow.

Study, study, study!
