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.
