Bouncing Around

There comes a time
to go to bed
when there’s a rhyme
stuck in my head
that feels it must
be free, though just
somehow not now

Thanks to Susi Bocks at I Write Her for pointing out today, 21 March, is World Poetry Day in her “Celebrate Your Passion” post! I didn’t realize that when I posted my poem above. Why not take the time today to discover new poets, read poetry you love, or write something just because!

Ponderous Truths

The truth’s a thing
that sets you free
and it can sing
in poetry
Ponderful verse
when you’re immersed
extols the soul

Hot Melted Soul

Your looks so hot
they melt my soul
scramble my thought
and take control
of what I do
when I'm near you
Uncool your fool
