JUST POETRY

Copyright 2017

This volume of poetry full of childhood memories that I wanted to share in verse. There is also a lot of poems that are just random thoughts and some that were meant as greeting cards, maybe. This is the first part of three. Each part of ten poems.

The Whistle

How lonely the whistle sounds,

as it passes your ear, so peaceful.

The whistle seems to pick the most

thoughtful moments when you have

something to think about all things you have

on your mind, it seems.

The whistle starts far away then closer, closer and

even closer until it is right upon you

a few moments later as the whistle slowly fades,

the sound is so lonely making you feel as your

friend is leaving you behind for a better place.

The whistle of anticipation of

life and acceptance of death.

Friends anticipated,

Friends gone but remembered.

---------------------

Windows

Clear,

Straightforward,

Opaque,

Fuzzy,

Opens the world to

understanding,

Past, present, and maybe

FUTURE!

--------------

Winter Sounds

Crunch and munch

Slosh and slush

Sloosh!

Cruuunnnnccchh!!!!!

Cracking underneath,

Smooshing!

Sounds of wintertime.

---------------------

Graduation

Well, you made it

Twelve years of school.

Now it is time to go on

with the well-deserved

freedom after all your

patience and work.

Remember friends,

Remember the memories made.

For this is only the

beginning and not the end!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

------------------------

Joy

A sense of blessfulness;

A feeling of your belonging

to someone or something.

An expression of excitement

during a life.

Glorious in all senses,

with which all people

experience.

Joy is what makes life

worth experiencing

for everyone.

-------------------

Happy Anniversary

Together all these years

Still in love and enjoying

each other through the

days and months and all

the years of living.

Showing that your love

was right for each other.

Sharing all your happiness

and joys.

Always be together for there

is only one couple like you.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!

---------------------------

Sympathy

Remembrance of those

lost, the good times

that you had are

never forgotten from

your memory.

Off to a better place

waiting with love

for those who were

left behind on earth.

Never will worry again

about earthly

problems.

So that you will always

remember you have not

lost a thing you had with

them for you will see them

again,

and feel a little

wiser about life and all it entails.

-----------------------

The Bee

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz." the bee says.

Did you ever watch just one

single bee to see what he does.

It is the most fascinating thing

you would ever do.

It lands on one little flower

and gathers the nectar and

moves on to the next flower.

It made me think of all the

places I've been and maybe

where I would go in the future.

When the bee is finished he

flies away, but you know the

bee will be back.

For this is his life and the

path he chooses, as like you

and I must do what we gotta

do for our lives.

The bee always seems to be

happy, even when they seem

to be attacking, but they just

buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz to

whatever is around.

--------------------------

Writing

It gives a person a chance

to get feelings out.

To express themselves the

way they want.

Writing a chance to a

beautiful thing in the

name of art.

Writing a chance to reflect,

to understand.

Writing, to be free of

everything.

Writing is everything in life.
