Write a poem that usese at least THREE of the following words: blue, dog, star, teacher, obsession,
parachute, exceptional, lilac, diamond, whistle, midnight, mist, miracle. Then illustrate your poem.
A natural obsession, like a dog and his bone or Galileo and the stars, exceptional and worth pursuing. You my lady are a midnight miracle
Hair scented with a field of lilac, Eyes shimmering like diamonds through the hazy mists of inebriation, Lips like an angel's wings ready to carry me to a new high. The clock strikes 12 I jump, no parachute.
Midnight Miracle
ReplyDeleteA natural obsession,
like a dog and his bone
or Galileo and the stars,
exceptional and worth pursuing.
You my lady
are a midnight miracle
Hair scented with a field of lilac,
Eyes shimmering like diamonds
through the hazy mists of inebriation,
Lips like an angel's wings
ready to carry me to a new high.
The clock strikes 12
I jump,
no parachute.
The Poem That Wasn't
ReplyDeleteI want to write a poem, though
No metaphor is here to grow
No perfect simile comes to mind
No great comparison can I find
There are no vast blue skies
To show your eyes
No fragrant rose
To entice your nose
Midnight will arrive
Still I will strive
To write something great
But it just won't equate
The words are flowing
This poem is growing
But little has been said
And I’d like to get to bed
Perhaps diamonds will save
This piece that’s so grave
They can’t you say?
Then I’m on my way
It’s not meant to be
This poem and me
So I will stop
The pen, I will drop
