#shortpoems poems on Hello Poetry

Odd Odyssey Poet Jul 9

Life has its many high notes –
a song of misery that works on itself,
It’s its own company, inviting anyone
to the party – misery always invites company

But the song of a friend’s love
isn’t so loud – it’s soft, reassuring,
something to count on, to help you recall
your worth – even if all you need is their company.

In Poetry We Say,

but,
I think it's a brave thing to do,
when you start something new.
allowing the past to assist/not lead,
admitting you're not the best/ but trying to be,
therein lies true strength/ authentic humility.
not to disrespect/ just to overcome,
the need for perfection/ the rush to get it done.
because in poetry we can say it,
in any which way we want.

I wrote this when I started realizing I wanted to pursue writing to share with the intent of helping anyone who's afraid to start new things. I hope you have just enough confidence to choose yourself and begin again, even if it's for the 1st or hundredth time.

Innovation Nation

my dear,
did you happen to know,
the mountains don't stare at the trees,
only the birds do so,
the oceans do not wait for rivers to flow,
before making waves out of ways the wind blows.

believing in ourselves brings innovation in ways we may never have realized before.

100 years

So fight the feeling//
& hide your tears

it'll all be over
in 100 years//

short poem written around 5/2024 while writing this, I was thinking about how fast life goes by and how important it is to stay present.

She is my rest,

Rest?
Where?
Who?
With her,
but she's not there.

But am I her rest?

Second in Line

I woke with too much purpose this morning.
I swear it was me
who split the dark sky open
like pointed steel through wood.

The sharp hack of existence hit
when I visualized my wallet
on the kitchen counter,
leaning against that vase
with the snake on it.

Second in line
at the grocery store,
cart overflowing.

The poison—

The poison—
of your love—
Stains my mouth.

-Love Like The Sun-

The sun doesn't choose
who to shine on.
It just Shines.

Oh to feel the Suns love from someone.
