Poem topic: first rain after summer
Summer’s heat has fadedAnd a chill is creeping into its spaceThe rain falls more slowlyCalmlyAlmost like it’s rushing aboutHas cooled with Autumn’s proximityThe thunder is low and lazyLike a cat stretching across the rugThe haze of Summer doesn’t followInstead the cool lingersAnd Autumn wraps her fingers just a little tighter Thank you. ^_^
For the poem thing: The wolf inside me
Your words may not leave woundsBut they are like whips on her hideShe snarls back at youYet you never notice herShe watches your every moveCalculating your weaknessesShe growls as you come closerAnd snaps viciously when you leaveIf only you knew that she was thereWatching and waitingOne day she’ll come outAnd you’ll stare in aweWondering whereContinue reading “For the poem thing: The wolf inside me”

Prompt: dollhouse ^.^
Perfection incarnateWith scalloped edgesAnd a picket fenceAll in orderAll in it’s placeBut things are never so perfect as they may seemUnderneath there lie secretsA world unseenLaughter from an empty roomAnd creaking of inanimate figures Thanks. Sorry it took so long. >_<
can you please write a poem with the word “glitter” ?
Shiny things that please the eyesYou hold them tight and hope for them to lastBut alas the tighter you hold themThe more likely they are to crumbleThat glittering bauble may not be goldAnd those shiny bits may not be gemsBut precious they are nonethelessAll things come and goAnd I suppose I’m willing to set thisContinue reading “can you please write a poem with the word “glitter” ?”
