I turn to this old site
to write some poetry
just because it might
help soothe me to sleep.

I never go to bed on time
so to help me
I think of a rhyme
maybe two; just for you.

Tomorrow when I wake
I'll know that writing this poem
is probably a mistake
and I know at school I'll be no count.

So poetry help me dream
drifting away
sometimes poems aren't what they seem...
My brain is begging to find sleep, but technology has ruined me.
Fun
i like to swing on creaky swings
go outside, lie down in the grass and listen to the birds sing.
I like to take walks in the woods and spend time in the sun
I guess this is just my kind of fun.
Now it's getting chilly
and my lack of fun is really quite silly.

I still enjoy the fun
And I know,
that when every day is done
another sunrise
makes me love life so.
Oblivious to the
passing
wasting
and loss

Of time
she never really knew how beautiful
and eventful
life is.
She was oblivious in so many ways.
The tears that were unselfishly cried over her
all of the wonderful sentences she never again would hear.
sharp edges
lives awful sketches
easily sliced
or cut*
but
Life is a little too beautiful
ah*
I've cried
No longer will I be alone,
I got a letter that says
he's coming home.
I'm thankful for...
Love
Friends
Enemies
My Dog Bear of course
wait.. is that odd?
I'm thankful for...
Family
Home
but guess who I'm most thankful for?*

God
In the beginning
Was the poem

What god made
Better than this sad
Universe only
I and you can make
With words

Sullied by overuse-

I love this world this poem

This notion that only
I and you may
Understand

This darkest night
BOY
I don't know why he keeps trying to survive me
context
A  group  of  maples
stand  proudly  in  the  village.

A  vivid  deep  scarlet  in  color
truly  magnificent  trees.

Very  pleasing  to  the  eye.
You  have  to  catch  the  moment  though
Sadly  the  beauty  soon  fades.

As  seen  in  October.
