Best Capturing Poems

I tried to capture this freedom
To capture it within a thought
For a time it seemed to hover 
but freedom wasn't what I got

It seems my thinking lacked feeling
True freedom I couldn't explain
My mind it became a prison
This freedom was locked in my brain

By the morning...

Flamboyant search for a woman who had lost her mind.
Luckily she was outrageous and quite easy to find.
Her rainbow hair and the braided elephant she rode
Were clues easily deciphered, faster than Morse code.

She wore a turquoise hat, with a noisy penguin on the top.
She shopped...

words are found, not forced
ebbing and flowing like waves
capture them quickly
when inspiration beckons
or they’ll gently slip away...

The eyes are the first to touch
what the hands cannot feel.
The heart is the first to feel 
what the eyes cannot see.
And who can open their eyes and hearts
to understand the difference?
We each have the ability to touch
the love abiding in us all.
To feel the...

Pictures they capture our moments in life,
like the moment you marry your husband or wife.
They help relive those memories like a story,
to capture our hearts or revisit OLD history.
A picture could be that of a loved one,
someone you've lost or alive and well son.
Remembering those...

Can I capture you?
Will you let me hold you?
I’ve watched you play through my window all day-
And you dance so prettily-
You move so silently,
And your presence here gives the darkest hour hope,
But can I capture you?
No-You’re too precious for one girl to hold…...

The café was crowded, 
we were seated on the porch; 
lunch’s wait was quite a long one.

The adjoining flower garden drew butterflies and wing- dancing hummingbirds; they sipped nectar from the feeders that hung between towering sun flowers.

Multi-colored finches vied for black oil seeds with...

Courtney
Nerdy, honest, creative, funny
Mother of Darian and Cash
Lover of a good book stash, thrift store trash, and travelling without whiplash Who feels empathy for the homeless, the hopeless, and disgust for the useless
Who needs my family close to me, a bit of morbidity, and my...

2021, the year I capture my desire

Sonya Sanchez said to catch the fire

I stand bold and put on my fly attire

Word remains my bond

Low vibrations are for liars

Elevating is now dire

There is no going back

The universe has spoken

I can only rise higher

Celestial deities presenting signs,

On...

I don't feel fresh this morning
not like a blooming rose’s
late sleep at night
but it was early morning
so it wasn't late.

I walked the door
Like no one is around
I can see streetlights
Blinking like star lights
and I saw glaring eyes.

In the dark there's light
when there's light
there’s no dark...

The participant
Expectant

The judger 
But a resonator 

Void in between
May glean

Or may not
Being self taught

If he does
Feeling a buzz

Our good friend
Else fiend

Or are we
Unbound and free

Either which way
In play

Chromatic cascade
across the land
sporting a cavalcade
of roses, parrot tulips,
irises, narcissus
and I look out over the 
painted mountain 
to revel in the 
wildflowers waltzing
in a casual breeze.
Atop the verdigris
the flora brings
serenity to my spirit
and I grab my 
paint-box and canvas;
it’s time to capture
the season’s rebirth
once again.

She opened the bay window to better see the swans
They encouraged tranquility; inspiring peace and love.
The neighbor’s garden is gorgeous in April.
She took off her reading glasses to get a better look.

The sky is perfect today, a marvelous color of blue.
There is a purity in...

Yesterday at a restaurant with family…during our talking, laughing…eating
one again I realized how every moment’s fleeting.

A story is told, we laugh but that story’s laughter does not last
because another story takes its place and it slips into the past.

So when a moment surfaces…before the next...

History repeats
As your about to read
These elf like species
Are back for our creed

Planets raped
Through galactic wars
Their presence of greed
The universe abhors

Are we next 
On their pillaging prey
What will happen to our planet
I fear to say

Weeks pass
As the sky blacks
A trait of the elves
Imminent attack

Ships launched
To...
