Breadthwise Poems | Examples


Premium MemberMonarch Butterflies

October days with overcast; hauntingly dreary skies
Underneath which; I am drawn to your essense breadthwise
Strong Northwest winds, become the summers greenest leaves demise
Your Auburn eyes; are my vision of monarch butterflies
Floating on air, gliding; you touch my arms thwartwise
Authentic are our feelings; shared, with no disguise
Recharging each other's batteries; in the ways we empathize
Your eyes may resemble the color rust; for me, they simply galvanize
The way I feel about you, that could not be faked, or  synthesized
How we both find safety in each other's arms being compartmentalized

Longing Bird

There was a little bird once dwelt in my heart, he built a nest 
on the tree branch hanging by the window of my heart 
with the webbings spun from sunlight in lengthwise 
and the webbings spun from moonbeam in breadthwise.

The only wish of the little bird who bathed in the daybreak’s 
limpid and cold dews to cleanse himself and dry his wet feathers
in warmth of rising sun, was to meet a charming 
little maiden bird who will keep the nest he built 
warmed with him as a life-long companion.

His wish was nothing more than a wish. No matter how patiently he waited and waited, and anxiously called and called, the little charming maiden bird never visited the nest he built exclusively for her only.

One chilling night, when the stars poured down on earth, 
the lonely little bird who was perched on my heart’s tree branch 
to receive a little charming maiden bird, flew away in the darkest nightly air, 
leaving the nest he built with his utmost sincerity and
the desire he would not be able to abandon, hanging on my 
tormenting heart’s branch.
