Poetry

Sunrise

Come with me

this crispy morn

to watch the sun

rise from the sea.

To witness the beginning

of this new day

hear the birds sing

merrily in the trees.

Listen to the waves

bubble to the shore

to breathe the fresh

clean air, smell.

The salt on the breeze

to stroll along the beach

burying our toes in the sand

together we'll walk.

Hand and hand, snuggle

and kiss, the sun's rays

kiss the earth

brings new life you see.

Warmth, light, rain,

natures way you do agree

to remind us all

about the coming.

 

Of the new day, new life,

to rise as the sun doth do

counting the days, months, years,

time passes, you grow old.

In no time at all

you've reached a hundred years,

so enjoy each beautiful sunrise

this one could be you last.

 

Love me as yo do today

our hearts entwined

to last and eternity

stay strong like the sun.

Weather the storms

that may come your way

building new bridges

to mend broken fences.

Whether there be clouds

as rain falls, tears will dry,

the sun will rise

we'll stay together.

To the end, our final day

ours will be the brightest star

that shines on cloudy nights

together we rest in harmony.

I have been doing some different writing with a new course. This is part of the 50 Percent Work. Have to add a story with the poem.

Poetry

Eyes close, darkness enfolds,
Rainbow colors flash, disappear,
Wind whistles, grass sways
Snakes slither, mice hide,
Birds cheerfully sing, hawk soars thermals,
Parrots squabble, brawl for nectar,
Bees buzz gum flowers, honey to make
Sticky amber honey, pollen makes,
white wax hexagons store hard work,
Cow low udder full with milk
Headed home release is nigh,
Green summer grass now winter brown
Crackles beneath hooves red dust stirs,
Sun’s orange orb slinks beneath the horizon
Days past night comes,
Moon rises stars twinkle brightly,
Clouds scatter forth rain does follow,
Blocks out the light till lighting flashes
Thunder rumbles rolls above,
Opening eyes I see the hot orange sun,
Dreaming is magic when night comes.
   ----------------------------------

Snow cold water cascades over the cliff
Crashes on huge boulders below,
Orchestra of birds overtake the sound
Water gurgles on way down stream,
Bees buzz golden sunflowers
Standing tall face the sun,
Sticky amber honey trickles in the hive,
Fragrances from orchids perfume the air,
Cows call day’s end,
Bright orange orb disappears
Night insects chirp,
Evening prayers done
Life will be theirs
Moon sinks to sleep
With rising of the sun.


These two are what I have written recently for the new writing course I have been working on. We have been learning new ways to write stories and poetry. The new section I think deals more with poetry so I'll post them when I can.
