I have just begun writing poetry as a form of release. I've never taken a course or any sort of "lesson." Due to encouragement from my peers I have decided to post some. Hope you enjoy!
Standing far out at sea A wave of sadness crashes over me Isolated, worried, very uncertain My fate lays behind an unknown curtain. Wondering how my life will end Will I ever be home again?

Washed Away
Little Wendy Warson wore her hair down everyday She never wore hats or hair clips or even burets. I would beg little Wendy "can I please braid your hair?" Always resulting in a daring death glare. On Tuesday, Wendy wore her hair in a bun. She even looked so pretty, no one noticed her gun.

An empty frame which you call home Is not the place you want to go. You arrive because there is no better offer And cry at night for a loving father.

"I'm better now" I laugh and say Does it really matter anyway? No one understands The broken mirrors Sometimes I want To disappear Follow me into The backyard garden Lay me down On silk and cotton Hold my hand And say goodbye This is my final lullaby.

I went to my eye doctor And told him I was unstable. He gawked at me from across the table Thankfully he tested me For otherwise I couldn't see The light in life Or colours of the trees. You see, my broken heart was very unkind Causing me to go colourblind
