The best description takes home the trophy for your country!
Spilled red and blue - solid yet anew
It’s bricks
and clouds
and trees
and bees,
tears
and glee
melting into
an earthly
cauldron of
universal
spit and
love.

Poetry Rhymes Some Times
It feels like a crime albeit a victimless crime
Feeling like I have got a mountain to climb
This is more than a hobby or a simple pastime
I can’t even show you through the medium of mime
This mission is turning into a Christmas pantomime
I’ve already went from the ridiculous to the sublime
And despite my clock sounding the loudest chime
I’m afraid it’s now clear that I don’t have the time
I’ve got no time for show time, for old time or curtain time
I haven’t got full time, part time, double time or mean time
I’ve no day time, night time, nap time or bed time
Meal time, lunch time, dinner, tea or supper time
I need prime time, air time, big time or small time
A life time of double time, triple time and overtime
I need a good reaction time, just once in a life time
Quick time, two time fast paced ragtime, sometime
In Spring time, Summer time, Autumn time or Winter time
I could even use half time or, if I must, quality family time
There is just never enough time
And I can’t spare any more time
In order to make this poem rhyme

Poetry Is...
Poetry is language
unravelled, unfettered,
unfaltered, unwound,
poetry sees itself as all things
unbound
in reaching, teaching,
leaning toward the light
in guiding a promise to
garner insight,
poetry is letting go
of the you that everyone knows,
poetry is you unmasked,
from within your emerging past,
a full circle of finding yourself
ending where you began
writing your name for the
first time,
who knew you had volumes
hidden inside..

Poetry Is Everything
Poetry is like a language
we become familiar with
over time, letting words
emerge on paper and fill
the blank spaces, leaving
room for thoughts to
expand and blossom into
something beautiful and
sweet like when flowers
attract bees and poetry is
essential like the oxygen
we breathe in every
minute of every day, that
is what poetry is as we let
it take us to a place a lot
of us are calling home.

Poetry
The breath of life given to;
thoughts, emotions, memories;
at the tips of pens, taps of a keys,
the timbre of a shy or confident voice
that moves mind, body, and soul
of those across the world.
