Poem: Rainy Days
The pitter patter of drops on a rainy day, the heavy heart won’t lift when weather is this way. No will to smile in the gray light, to laugh or play. ~ I sit inside, close the blinds, and distract my thoughts. Hard to feel motivated when I feel distraught. Is this a normal feeling … Continue reading Poem: Rainy Days
Poem: Looking Up
Been looking down at where my feet land every day, trying to make sure my steps are flawless, on track. Afraid that one look up will make me lose my way, stray from the path and be unable to come back. ~ Refusing to leave the house and have fun with friends, terrified that a … Continue reading Poem: Looking Up
Poem: Slowed Down
Sprinting, jogging, running. Crucial tasks we’re shunning. Tripping, falling, gasping. On false hopes we’re grasping. ~ Always saying that today will be the day we can say we broke through our goal and joy will fill the hole ~ in our hearts that we try to fill with lie after lie, thinking this will at … Continue reading Poem: Slowed Down

Motivational Poem: Crawling
I’m crawling, climbing, fingers dig into the dirt. I’m falling, slipping, My feet backslide a little. ~ Teeth grind together. Stinging, raw fingers find grip again. A journey I weather, ascending the mountain of Life. ~ I see pits in the rock face. Gnarled hands reach out to snag me. They say to give up … Continue reading Motivational Poem: Crawling
Rare Moment: a description poem
Morning, with fresh air and damp grass soft turf under my feet, as I stand, still and at peace bumble bees putting around flowers, treacherously lifting their great mass a soft breeze ruffling my hair and cooling my face, a moment I never wish to release ~ My nose catches the clear smell of the … Continue reading Rare Moment: a description poem
Icicle: a haiku, and two more
I hope you all enjoy these winter haikus I wrote! Icicle: A stream of water drips to make an icicle, frozen and sparkling. Morning Frost: I wake up to frost. A foggy, peaceful morning.

Snow Day: A Winter Sonnet
Snow falls to the muddy ground. Icicles gather under the gutter. A squirrel stops without a sound, To hear the wind howl and mutter. ~ The clouds are gray, the earth is white. Snowflakes swim through the air, the squirrel dodges one and ducks out of sight. The sun peeks out with a white glare. … Continue reading Snow Day: A Winter Sonnet
