Be gone with you, who can not be polite My spirits are high, and aren't coming down The smile on my face exudes my delight It's glued on so tight, I feel like a clown I feel so alive, my chest might explode I wish I could say just how great I feel But there are no words that can be bestowed For my elation is just so surreal My outlook is bright, I'm filled with such glee I'm jumping with joy, and squealing with bliss I really don't care what you think of me Let the world judge me for my happines
Thoughts and feelings both concealed Teeth and tongue frequently reunited The alternative being excess chaos Spoken and implicit ammo uninvited Burning fuel beneath camouflage invisible Verbal bullets wittingly choked back Battling the urge to ignite a hostile war In spite of your unprovoked attack Your open and closed hostilities rebuffed I suffer inner conflict out of sheer respect In favor of peaceful conditions for others Who never detect my mental straitjacket For the sanity of others my ow
Relationships are like a rose Fragile, beautiful - with some thorns If neglected, will decompose Relationships are like a rose The more you care, the more it shows And weathers better through the storms Relationships are like a rose Fragile, beautiful - with some thorns
Dear mother - this loving ode is for you To relate to your ears how my heart feels An attempt to convey the gratitude Regular conversation might conceal I'm convinced without possible question No daughter could be as lucky as I Your loyalty shone through your depression You've always been there, my faithful ally My sister and I, how lucky we are To be so well loved without condition And many thanks can only go so far For all the time you spent in the kitchen So mother this is your dedication: My
Seasonal scenery silently seen Sounds stifled, society seems serene She savors sweets - smells sunflowers Soft skin stimulated, sensational shower Symbols she signals, seeking support Society sees such sentences so short
Dusk Livens Tiny life In amethyst Illumination A fairy paradise Under hollows of a tree Adorned with glowing amber blooms House graceful mini flying gard'ners Wearing frilly frocks of silken petals
Zipping merrily through sweet paradise Yellowish skies with ribbons of blue Xeranthemum fields play compliment to Waterfalls of rich chocolate fondue Vines of licorice spiral and climb Upwards around cotton candy covered Trees nesting lively marsmallow peeps Singing tunes of visible colors Rainbows that glimmer emerging from Quartz rock candy scattered around Perfectly iced giant cupcake bushes Oh, what a delicious scene I've found! Night falls upon this magical garden Moonlight litters the air
Wind's slow, languid breath lifts hair from my face Calming my heated skin from sun's long kiss Freshly cut grass, and fragrant flowered trees These delicious aromas fill my nose Ivy-laced lattice, vibrant hues of blooms Bronzed, sandy beaches pleasing to the eyes Children's amused laughter, birds cheery tunes Water being splashed - music to my ears Lovely sights and sounds, perfumed silky air Senses come alive: first taste of summer
At night when it's too dark out I feel goosebumps trace my skin But the hairs on edge soon calm With the safety of your light ------------------------------------ Prompt: Lightpost Form: Tanaga tanaga has four lines with seven syllables each…in its traditional form, all lines are rhymed at the end, although the modern form tends to be written in free verse..

Tender tears of surrender Stroke velvet saffron skin Erecting it's fragile barrier Concealing vulnerability within A virgin to the insects Too shy to open up Made to feel belittled Snubbed by rosey shrub Blushed in crimson skin They feel no contrite Unlike the humble tulip Satin skin gleaming light
I sing myself a silent lullaby Of the day's long gone events Seems no matter what I try Active thoughts will not relent My eyes drift to the digits Ungodly hour aglow in red Restless my body fidgets With the pillows on the bed My eyes refuse to listen Indeed they will not close They haven't my permission To rebel against a doze The darkness of the night I saw mere seconds ago Blinked into the morning light Just how I'll never know.
Hello there human, my name is buddy I couldn't help but notice you staring See, my owner seems to think it's funny To dress me in the outfits I'm wearing Playing dress up is wrong in many ways But it's something I've learned to tolerate Since one of the perks is loveable praise And I get treats when I co-operate I really don't mind all the attention Though loving me for me would be preferred I adore getting all this affection But some of these costumes are just absurd She dresses me in all this
Soft fur Keeps me cozy, As I soak up the sun Lazing around the house all day. Love me, You know I'm irresistable. My purring will soothe you When you pet me, Meow.
Sun rises and falls Day after day Moon follows Night after night In a never-ending game Of tag With each passing second Minute, hour Our lives become a bore Schedules create Predictability That is seemingly Endless And we complain Nothing changes But if we stop Just for a moment If we look back From when we started And we compare it To where we are now There are but few Similarities The differences become Nearly overwhelming From our attitudes To our relationships And our dwellings It's startlin
In the land of opportunity I awoke And I searched for the right place I'm not too far from the simple folk Whose transportation likes to graze But my surroundings aren't sedate Indeed your head would be spinning To get to me you'd have a while to wait 20 minutes, an hour - I'm not kidding Streetlights made of kisses inviting You to the entry of a fantastic dream Where everything is so exciting And you'll find some common themes I'm happy where I am right here A chocolate heaven so beguiling Enor
Nature's subjects bow down gratefully Appreciating her regal Presence, her graceful M o v e m e n t s Accompanied by MAJESTIC Roar, she isn't to be trifled with Her never ending beauty is grand Though her wrath can be unforgiving.
