Motivational Monday Poem: An Aunt’s Perspective
Confidence with each step Head held high Shoulders straight, eyes forward Four years in age With a soul wise beyond her years Freedom, joy, inquisitiveness A sharp mind, fierce spirit A star shining bright Through the sun-soaked sky To have but an ounce Of such confidence and knowing As middle age nears, WouldContinue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: An Aunt’s Perspective”
Motivational Monday Poem: Writer’s Train
Language speeding past In a blend of light and sound Energizing the artist on the Central platform Hurried words without a plot Poetry in motion Song breaking barriers Play, uncast The singular artist Absorbs, reflects, and absorbs The mind electric and the body tingling Ready to board the train Not as a passenger,Continue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Writer’s Train”

Motivational Monday Poem: Oppressor’s Mist
Standing in a crowd My voice loud and strong Yet ignored and silenced Sound waves evaporating In a polluted air of false leadership “Danger!” I call While the oppressor’s mist Clouds the senses And tunnels my pleas Tattered spirits weakened By hate, fear, and pain Spread misery cloaked in promise Their wordsContinue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Oppressor’s Mist”
Motivational Monday Poem: Characters in Waiting
Mesmerized into separation Floating through time and space Alone without loneliness Trapped in imagination Characters, alive in thought Strangers to all but one Their paths pre-determined By the whim of the pen They flourish or suffer A single artist the puppet master Locked away until needed Pleas echoing off figmented clouds Fictional silhouettesContinue reading “Motivational Monday Poem: Characters in Waiting”
