Selected Poetry

As the sunlight fades and the wind grows strong,
As the riverbed surrounding me spells serene and calm,
A junebug sits to sing, loud and long,
This is my home, as he continues his psalm...

Take not for granted where solace may be,
For in an instant's time it shall be taken from thee,
Just sit to stay and stay to see,
What true visions and sensations will be revealed to thee.

Thats nice Jamuhn. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, thats really good, I like that one. Good job

How does time take its toll?
To wilt a flower barren 'cept for soul,
Afraid it may be, but this it cannot show,
And yet no one is there to offer their sorrow.
Poor flower, I am here to mourn for you,
You see, I hear and feel it too,
So don't fly with the wind 'til you head my call,
"Your lonely spirit is remembered after all."
The rigid stalk and mustard waves of petal,
That beauty in symmetry aught not be meddled,
In your act as well, love is abound,
Harmless, you live only to enjoy the sight and sound.
And to your human likeness, I hold a similar appeal,
That they know for them also, this I feel,
In my heart you will always be a beautiful flower,
Blowing in the wind, untouched by the hour.

I declare your beauty has been taken in greed,
For, how else could there be beauty as thee, give heed,
That smile, a crescent moon it may be, a heavenly object indeed,
And that skin, I see a silken sheet to be there,
Even your hair, never have I seen light akin to dark, 'tis rare.

As a distant lover, with this same passion do you live life,
I am clothed in envy, to be the same my strife,
But to be close affects me enough, as a piercing knife,
And contagious it is, soon am I consumed by your subsequent smile,
I gleefully remember you are my Jane for this merry while.

In the sky and through the roads,
A seamless string of whit and prose,
Follows the man through his throes.

On the cover a painless calm,
In the bellows a churning 'nam.

See the man with his hat turned yellow,
Stroam along with the flightless fellow,
Sink with his smile, o'er the cliff we go...

Those are great poems! I do wish I could come up some that thought provoking. They were all very great. However, one to me really stood out. And that was the first one.

"As the sunlight fades and the wind grows strong,
As the riverbed surrounding me spells serene and calm,
A junebug sits to sing, loud and long,
This is my home, as he continues his psalm...

Take not for granted where solace may be,
For in an instant's time it shall be taken from thee,
Just sit to stay and stay to see,
What true visions and sensations will be revealed to thee."
