Short Poem Collection

1. Apollo's Radiance Find me not in the hollow A dream is a dream is a dream Find me among the trees and follow In the sunlight I follow the gleam Reality is difficult to swallow So I found peace with Apollo 2. Discovery It was a discovery to discover me My soul was lost in the art of words I found my heart in the golden sea Dancing with the lovely birds To discover me is to set me free And love was the only key 3. Wisdom And Wit I amuse myself with wisdom and wit Do not tarry or dance around the truth My intelligence could a king befit Built from the struggles of a troubled youth But you'll see I'm not without merit I've survived worse with egregious grit 4. Magic Everywhere Imagine a world with magic Where dreams came true That it is only a dream is truly tragic But I found magic in my muse A bevy of colors create a fabric And a lovely world of magic 5, Courage In Fear It is not weakness to feel fear Only a fool fights instinct In the gloom we despair what we hear That which is indistinct And when it draws near It's okay to feel fear 6. True Persona Long have I shunned who really I am Out of fear I will bring them shame But who I display is just a sham Nothing will ever be the same When I show who I really am They'll probably tell me to scram 7. Mr. Obama Sometimes I really miss Mr. Obama Those eight years went by fast I'm tired of the fear mongering and drama And those who ignore the past With courage I will fight this trauma And fight Trump in honor of my mama 8. Workplace Woes These days I deal with workplace woes By sharing memes and rhymes I could count every woe on my toes In these increasingly uncertain times And I've dealt with the highs and lows It clearly shows in my prose Note: I wrote these thinking they were Cinquains only to realize I was doing it wrong. Anyway I figured I'd just post them all here as one collection!
