I Remember, I Forgot

I remember her voice.

Soft like silk,

With hidden wonders.

I remember.

I remember her arms.

Cover d like books,

With hidden stories.

I remember.

I remember her eyes.

Dark like the forest,

With hidden monsters.

I remember.

I forgot her.

Sweet like sugar,

With hidden mysteries.

I forgot.

Go out in nature. Bring your pen and paper. Focus on something in detail and start to describe it. See where it leads you. You may find a way to describe things in ways you never though before. It may lead you to a deep philosophical realization in the end. Try to go somewhere you've never gone before.

Visions of Trees

Visitors of trees,

Crying in the wind.

Flames wrapped around,

Crying out in pain.

Visions of trees,

Waving their branches.

Axes cutting deep,

Crying out in pain.

Visions of trees,

Smiling with their leaves.

Kids climbing all over,

Crying out in joy.

Visions of trees,

Waving their branches.

Animals living,

Crying out in joy.

Black-out poetry! Take a page from a book, newspaper, magazine, etc., copy it, and black out words, leaving only those that you want to use in your poem. I know Prosers don't need this, but it's called a "cure for writer's block"! I was skeptical at first, but it's fun. Follow this link for examples and more explanation http://www.powerpoetry.org/actions/5-tips-creating-blackout-poetry . Oh, attach an image if you can and tag me please. #blackout

Nine and Seven

The bodies of nine and seven,

Killed in a militant attack.

Searched for clues,

Masterminds of the gruesome attack left 28 dead.

Boxes covered with white cloth,

Lowered slowly in pairs.

Lined up on the tarmac.

Officials laid bouquets between the boxes.

Somber ceremony played out,

Flag-draped coffins.

Nine Italians.

Priest blessed them.

Relatives of the dead,

Weeping or clutching loved ones.

Approached the coffins,

To bid farewell.
