Best Folded Poems
Like a Folded Rose
I am incredibility inner today,
like a folded rose, metaphorically speaking
I am totally dwelling within . . .
the world moving outside of me
lost within my own reverie
I have come to the art gallery
where I can lose myself
on the patio I am reading and writing
the warm sun...

She FoldedShe folded, quit, shut down, bled out
In a horrible, end-of-life way.
With pills
And lots of them
Never fulfilling her dreams,
Never finding her hopes.
Never traveling the road that would have led her
To a purpose that would have saved her
I had not reached out
Because she was on the...

I Folded My Mother UpI Folded My Mother Up
I folded my mother up
Into a creased peace of paper
Folding memories into intentions.
Flattening the dementia of unstructured emotions
Into a neat, file-able document.
We arc this abyss; tightening ropes over time.
We are not our worst intentions,
but we are...

Of Angels and Their Folded WingsThe angels, with their folded wings
walk on silent ground
They know not whether
to weep,
or wield their sighing harps.
It seems like hearts are stones,
or jewels would they be?
Precious gems, maybe.
Of different hues,
with scattered light.
Encrusted, unpolished
by time and tears,
and by things spoken
and not...
The angels,...

Like a Folded Rose
Sometimes, I am like a folded red rose,
in deep sadness I wrap my wings;
and safe I linger as rose petals close.
where all my grief in my heart clings.
Though, a rose is quite divine- the scent blows,
and thoughts of funerals it brings;
the sweet smell speaks...

FoldedWish I had half a brain
Bricks to fill the void in my head
Wrinkled and stained
Intelligence is but a soul beheaded
Big words were never an attribute
Amassing descriptions to loneliness
Why can't we just call it solitude
Synonyms alongside this dark fortress
Half...

The Folded JetYou start with a paper so crisp and white,
You redo the first fold until it’s just right.
You continue to fold it whichever way,
If only the folds would decide to stay.
You crease it and crease it until at last,
The plane zooms past the Mazda, which travels...

Folded PapersIf I cared more, I would see the dream that should be,
Lanes wouldn’t be filled with worries,
Schools would cater to the educators well,
Institutions wouldn’t make graduates dwell.
Music is dull and paintings are monotone.
No voices are heard, and eyes are closed alone,
Where’s the compassion gone?
Folded papers...

The Folded CloverYou
Opened the folded clover
In my heart
And sprinkled your kindness
Into my soul
You
Take me higher
Than any mountain trail
Where the air is sweet
And true
Like the breath of
Your laughter
Echoing
All around me....

Corners Folded, Pages MarkedI've found a love that I will keep,
Between the sheets
Of paper,
Corners folded, pages marked.
You are, my Love, my love I know
I want you, so
Embrace me.
Corners folded, pages marked.
We are the legend, fire and air,
And all we share
Is precious.
Corners folded, pages marked....

Left With a Folded FlagLeft With A Folded Flag
Have been at wall with all of the enemy,
Including one that existed inside of me;
Have begun to prepare myself for war;
On ship as it approaches foreign shore.
Fearlessly landed and sand was flying,
In the air and many soldiers were...

Ballad
'like a Red Folded Rose'I
Yesterday,
I can never get back-
and I have to find the strength when days are black.
When a dark shadow comes I pray,
going inner like a red folded rose;
where grief has froze;

FoldedNight folded its temporary home
Each segment removed brought
Light through cracks, windows
Doors until my eyes caught
The light of day, saying get up
Time to rise begin chores
The bed is warm and the room cold
Don't want feet to touch floor
Sunlight's penetration awakes
Even the cold, it now knows
Time is...

A Folded Crease ReposeHis role, sadly, that of “The Little Prince”**
tending to a long forgotten rose
preserving the truth of memories lies
her beauty in a folded crease repose
His love a trembling finger’s gentle touch
of longing etched within the silent eyes
alone within the dusty grip of past
touches the curling...

Fallow With Folded ArmsNOTHING HAS CHANGED
IT'S STILL THE SAME
AS BEFORE YOU WERE HERE
YOU WERE A LITTLE LIGHT
BUT THE BATTERIES DIED
AND I
IN THE NARROW REALM
OF UNCERTAINTY
AWAIT YOUR DECISION
A DEPARTURE
WITHOUT QUESTION
I'LL GO
BUT I MADE A LITTLE SUN
IN YOUR DARK SKY
GUESS I BLINDED YOU
WITH THE BRIGHTNESS....
