“Poetry is
the spontaneous overflow
of powerful feelings:
it takes its origin
from emotion recollected
in tranquility.”

Elfje: (Cinquain)

loud
ear piercing
rapping, banging, pulsating
oversized car audio system
obnoxious

Haiku:

morning chill no frost
cold air moves towards tropics
winter ebbs and flows

Poem:

Tranquillity, serenity , peace, quiet and calm
destroyed by the horrific moron next door
there is no app for that on my favorite dot.com
instincts have been reduced to pacing the floor
Something is trying to teach me a lesson
can’t see the value in patience and tolerance
learning the two step to avoid depression
praying to God to rid me of this annoyance
Is this a new game, what’s it called
war, battle, shoot, maim, destroy
can’t figure out why no one is appalled
to the mentally disturbed it’s more than a toy
The console a babysitter with no parental control
addictive behaviors being fine tuned
rapidly disappearing down the rabbit hole
to a life of failure they are surely doomed
A grateful heart will never be jealous
but for the grace of a Higher Power
protect those who you value precious
don’t let the insane destroy your ivory tower
Every day will hold at least one blessing
smile, it keeps them guessing.
