Kristina Whitmore Poet Rhyme

Once a Day Ii

Day that once today that is 
My once a day poem of how I feel
Day that once today that is
A poem to express my day today

Another one a Wednesday that is
A day that was well spent with more positive
Smiling slightly at random thoughts
Thinking of the future and all the roads needed to cross

Energy depleted mid way through the day
Where I decided to lay and meditate 
To slow down and take time to find that silence inside
That was today the day that once was yesterday

Better than Tuesday though as I must admit
The sun did shine and the clouds did roll slowly they did drift
Changing my mood shifting my mind into a special place
Instant spark of difference than the day I left behind

A day that once a day that is the yesterday that has passed
With less of the mad that causes the sad turning a day to bad
Today this day just another day that goes by
To write about the feelings of day with honesty no lies

This day that is the one that has been more helpful than the last
Not to live with the burden of the weight I call my past
At last it is the evening time where day has turned to night
Writing when my fingertips spin to leave words typed

The last notes left before I lay this day just one to rest
Another day that will be once was just a written one left
To give myself a reason to look back and recognize
That each breath I take I look up and am thankful for the sky

Air that gives this day new breath and life that is above
A day that is a day that once another day I feel more loved
Time spent thinking wishing dreaming of when
This day may be over so I may pray and fall asleep again

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 28, 2017 at 6:04 AM Such beautiful expressions this poem be, Kristina. The lyrical meter of your prose is a dancing of words in one's mind. You are a poetic wind dancer. Great lines throughout ... A day that once a day that is the yesterday that has passed ... With less of the mad that causes the sad turning a day to bad. Your graceful words do so muse energize my ghetto soul. Absolutely brilliant poetry, dear. Love and smiles always. Kristina Whitmore November 28, 2017 at 11:31 AM Lyrically driven has always been my inner soul since I was in choir most of my youth and poetry was a release for my youthful self after my parent divorce at the age of 11. Now that I have decided to revisit my poetic self I am grateful to have mused your ghetto soul! It brings me much joy to assist with more poetic justice. Thanks for reading!

James Inman November 28, 2017 at 4:46 AM You can feel the emotional release in your write, a waterfall of gushing images that need to flow free. I must wonder, though, with such a wonderful day, why would you want it to end? Kristina Whitmore November 28, 2017 at 11:28 AM This day that was better than the previous was one which is why I did not want to end. Yet that is the problem with each new night is that the next day is all dependent upon our own thoughts as well as mood. Still a work in progress... Thanks for reading and commenting James! XO
