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!
