Pictures

- Daniele Willie

He sat one day by the ocean shore
Sat wishing that he could paint
For colours, he mused, would capture it more
Mere words were just too faint

The shimmer and glint of the morning sun
Caressing the gentle waves
And pebbles that chased them all in fun
Sweet music without the staves

A bird or two came passing by
In search of a morning meal
He watched them oh so gracefully fly
And wordless songs did peal

Alas! A fish jumped from the blue
The suddenness made him start
It playfully showed its colourful hue
Brought gladness to his heart

How foolish, he thought, to shun his script
His words with colours are fraught
They show what beauties the world is whipped
Paint pictures upon the thought

Poetry: "Her World"

No castle wall
No noble steed
No valiant handsome prince
No glass slipper
Nor fairy-godmother
No world of make belief

No diamond ring
No minivan
No perfect picket fence
No in-law mother
Nor Betty Crocker
No world of make belief

A nine to five
A PhD
A metro card for the train
A coffee maker
Frozen dinner later
A world not make belief

Poetry: "To that woman"

You cannot dare chart the path that she has walked
You cannot imagine her hurt
You can't see beyond her crisp and clean clothes
The heart streaked wholly with dirt

The children she's borne can attest to her strength
The tear stains attest to her pain
The thin smile she offers you passing her way -
Faint sunshine just after much rain

She's guarded and trust is not easy at all
Though unseen her bruises are real
She's stowed all her feelings she's made them all safe
Her passion for romance is sealed

"So cold and unfeeling" you judge from afar
"Aren't women to be tender beings?"
She stares through her loving and mistreated eyes
Unknowing, you label her fiend

Poetry: "Funny"

So I've decided to use my blog to show some of my writing...
Give the feedback it'll help me get better... Then when I get my Pulitzer you can beam with pride cus you know you helped develop me :-)

Here goes...
I'll start with some poetry

Funny

Funny how ppl think worst of others
Funny how quickly they spread it too
Funny how fast you use up your paycheck
Funny he's married to her not you

Life's sure filled with funny moments
I'm laughing so hard it hurts
Funny being real translates to bitter
Funny my smile's a smirk
