Mary Anne Norton Jan 2022
Getting near that time
Where minds begin
To wander
Stores are closed
Lights are dimming
Noises settle down
Words come flowing
Making sense or not
From a day
That " s drawing to
A close
Factories shut down
But words keep dancing
Round and round
Eyes blink yet
Never close
Sleep too far away
Nothing else to do
To chase those
Thoughts away
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2022
Not a friend in sight
Will grab my paper and pen
Hello poetry
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2022
Tried calling  but
No answer
Tried visiting but
No show
Tried crying but
No tears
Tried loving but
No response
Tried living but
No Life
Tried sharing but
No hands
Tried and tried
Until all gone

Can't  deal
With Silence
Can't deal
With noise
Can't deal
No more
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2022
I looked out the door
And just peeked out the Window
Just for a no show
Mary Anne Norton Jan 2022
So quiet out
Can hear my
Breath
With each step
I take
Loneliness all around
Only the howling
Of the wind
Reminding me of
Winter's Song
Time to go
Back in
To warm my hands
And frozen heart
Waiting for the
Sun to melt
My frozen blues
Away
can swim really fast
have teeth that are projected
scary vampire fish
