Just Poetry part two

my own poems

My book cover

This is part two to my first ever poetry book published by Amazon a few years ago.

People

short people,

TALL people,

Skinny people,

F-A-T people.

Obnoxious people,

Quiet people,

All kinds of people.

Different accents,

Different dialects,

Different languages,

Different cultures.

People make up the

world with all the many

differences they have.

Where would this world

be without all the different

people.

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

An Autumn Day

Hot, warm, cold

Always different

Always giving you

a hint of what you

hold inside yourself.

Sunny days you feel

almost as a child.

Cloudy, gray days...

cozy inside the house.

Leaves of colors

swirling down in front

of the windows

showing off a day of autumn

will that will always be

remembered for some

reason no matter how little

it seemed.

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

Golden Tree

Strong as can be

waving its' powers

when the wind blows.

Sprinkling down

wishes.

Bright slashes of

sunlight shining

through.

Saying you are

right in what you

are doing.

Under this tree you

feel affirmed and

confirmed to your

own understanding.

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

The World

Such a large place, little

covered by land, a lot

covered by water, but yet

the world seems small.

Like the song, 'It's a Small

World'; but so large so

any different cultures,

different people.

They say all people started out

the same way, then

why are people so different.

People are people.

The world and beyond

just waiting to be really

discovered by whomever wants

to be discovered.

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

Dogs

Dogs are my favorite animals

in the whole, wide world,

nothing can top them in the

animal world.

All I have to do is look at one

and it seems that me and the

dog become one in the same.

Every dog that sees me wants

me to play with them it seems.

Dogs are always there

to cheer me up, especially

when the large dogs act like

puppies and the puppies want

cuddled.

As the old saying goes,

"A dog is man's best friend."

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

The Wind

The way it blows is always

different.

There are light breezes,

calm winds,

gusts,

hurricanes,

tornadoes,

cyclones,

dust storms,

gales;

Any kind of wind

time during anytime of the

year.

Wind is so unpredictable that

you will never be able to

catch or see it in your hand.

The wind is always there

around you, but you can not

even see it or touch it.

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

Campfires

Singsongs,

Memory provoking;

flames glowing orange and yellow

changing to blue and green.

Sparks fly up to the sky;

Ash falls to the ground.

Dreams to be born.

Warm turning red;

Togetherness

Family wishes and Just

fun to be around-

Campfires.

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

Going Places

Going places may mean to you-

just going to visit relatives or

friends or

just going shopping.

Going places to me means

going to places far and near.

Like to think about

going to different towns, villages,

and countries.

But...

When I go to different places

it's all in my imagination.

You can go anywhere in the world,

if you just lay down close your eyes

and think where would I like to go.

It only takes a little imagination to go

places anywhere and everywhere.

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

The Globe

Big, round, different

colors up close;

blue, green, and white

Far away.

White, black, yellow,

Tan, brown, red,

all people-

A global world.

Made up of all the colors

far away and up close.

Worldliness

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

Haiku

One word,

Two words,

Three words;

Thoughts,

Phrase,

Poetry.
