Our Bibles were stored in the closet somewhere, In hopes that the Word would mature us from there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed, Not once ever kneeling or bowing their head. And mom in her rocker with babe on her lap, Were watching the late show while I took a nap. When out of the east there arose such a clatter, I dropped the ashtray trying to see "what's the matter".

She moves forward in a project and works diligently until it is complete. She has written over twenty books including the ones for charitable causes and co-written books. Her book cover designs seem to bring out the feelings that went into the writing of the book.

When I first met her in the hospital I could tell that she was thinking about suicide so, I think to her surprise, I said that I thought she was thinking about killing herself. She said very quickly and very defensively, "Why not? While I can still do it and save myself a lot of misery."

Sometimes they think they are quite sneaky, they also have a little bit of intellectual arrogance about them, even if you blow their doors off in IQ level, and it is obvious from your first meeting. Nevertheless, there are some very creative genius type folks who talk in a poetic tone, expressing themselves with poetry in every sentence, and using alliteration, rhyming words, and prose in their everyday conversation.

The poem may be on any subject matter. This may be written in a variety of styles; however, the easiest is to list the letters spelling out the title down the side of the page. Add corresponding phrases, metaphors, cliche, or sentence to the letters to describe the subject. This acrostic is about Veteran's Day.

She searches for help from the adults around her, but does not ever succeed in finding a home. She dies, and isn't missed by her treacherous family. Unfortunately, homelessness in children often results in death, more often than not. The abandoned child in this poem identifies with many insects, flying off on a dragonfly's back at the end of the poem.

She triumphs as a young girl through her strong spirit - with the help of a black crow, a goose, black dogs and a beloved cat. She faces her life as a woman with the desire to leave the ghosts of her parents behind her, as the pain is too deep to go on without facing the conflict. She does.

Many nations have felt the pain from such degradation and demeaning acts. Slavery was not an act from God; was created bad people in search of fortune and fame; it's from mankind and is destined to fail. Humankind was ordained to live in freedom and liberty as ordained by the creator.

The stories are just demeaning as they are told by many. When will big government stop hiding behind a mask and help those they serve? Many are in need of help, are facing red tapes each day, and are getting lost in the shuffle.

Words can be inspirational and motivational or be misused and become detrimental to our lives. This poem shows how misuse can erode our society.

I was just in the void where I wanted to write some rhyming poetry.

But so what? That shouldn't stop you from celebrating Poet's Day to the fullest when it comes around every March 1st. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:33:13 -0600 http://ezinearticles.com/?Poets-Day&id=3165579 http://ezinearticles.com/?Poets-Day&id=3165579 Out of the eight poems provided here, four are Poetic Prose, a few Visionary, a few Free Verse, and a few with more form and structure, more closely to the Auden style of: stanza, metrical rhythm, and rhyme. In saying that, I do believe all the poems are conveying a rich network of meaning, some of them painfully close bond between pleasure and destruction. They should appeal to the senses and create images in our minds, for poetry is just that kind of language that most complexly and effectively qualifies.

This poem tells one of a variety of related stories in this narrative form about such a wonderful state of life. Love comes in many different forms to millions and is told differently in various settings. This is just one of such forms of storytelling poetry.

They are worried about being rich, broke, big, small, middle class, and lots of other emotional hallucinations. This poem is a collage of their thoughts. If the rose lenses are removed many would see more clearly. Confusion certainly is a part of our society these days.

Shocking to some, yet terrible to many. The reality of life always tells a story that is enchanting.

Some believe it's linear, while to some it's circular, and to others it's still expressed in other shapes and forms. The poetic breath expresses the formation of words and the interpretation of such words in the ears of the listeners.

However, near his death, he began to reveal more of his own personal feelings in his writing. This was largely a result of his close encounters with death, which we explore further.

In writing, you lose a lot of these benefits as the reader is now the one experiencing the piece, and so delivery is taken from your hands. Despite that, there are several ways in which you can style your piece in order to bring some of the impact of spoken word poetry into the written word.

It's similar to the senryu poem. It addresses nature and seasons of the year while the senryu addresses emotion and relationships. The haiku poem received its current name from Japanese poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902). The contemporary haiku takes a different form and varies in many ways.

We always do everything together both day and night.

In this particular case, my poem, " A Killer Tsunami Wave" may illustrate how an ordinary poet may allow himself to fathom the depths of human despair before offering a special solution to a very serious human problem.

The emotions and feelings stirred up can be just as powerful and long-lasting, aside from the knowledge gained and introspection experienced. A poem that is both captivating and luring, can draw its reader into a bilateral understanding of two minds in a heightened realm of existence and raise them to new levels of spiritual union.

It tells about someone who faces two life decision but only one can be chosen. He has already taken one choice but it brings him to regret. He thought that if he took the other choice, he may make his life to be different. However, what is going to be discussed at this time is only the last stanza of this poem.
