Capturing Poems | Examples

Capturing thoughts

A truly lovely poem I have read, 
Spoke volumes ‘bout the power of the pen.
At times our thoughts on paper must be said
Before they fly away, we’ll capture them.

On paper then we see the passion inked
With pen in hand words scribed across the page.
When reading we can see how these are linked
Once in our view, these words will never age.

Yes, poems filled with lovely sentiment
To touch our hearts and soul the author’s quest,
Engage the reader is their one intent.

Capturing the Tranquility

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 the air, an indescribable ambiance.
She leaves her coffee for a few minutes
To find her camera, hoping to capture this tranquility.

Capturing the Moment

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.

Capturing Courtney

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 writings validity 
Who fears death by falling, the Burger King, and life without a wedding ring
Who gives her kids a kiss, her boyfriend loving bliss, and her enemies a hiss
Who would like to see New York City, Italy, and my family being happy
Resident of Springfield, LA by way of Glendora, CA

Capturing My Desire

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 how to grow wiser

His eye is on the sparrow

Sings the southern church choir

Sweet music of harmony

Elemental universal sounds transpire

Composing earth wind spirit water fire

2021, I capture my desire

Capturing Poetry Contests Emotion

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

Capturing a Poets Mind

Unlock your heart with poetry
Let them sing songs of mystery
Fill your soul with history
Hear sounds of philosophy

Be charmed with rhymes noted
Tell others and become devoted
With words written down as a slogan
As they capture the mind of a poet

Capturing Your Sound

Wavelengths of perfect pitch
Tones whole and mellow
Notes filled with harmony
Seeing through your ultrasound
Complete and very clear
Speaking low and softly
Gently caressing my soul
Your depth of sound 
Reaches into my soul
Together an orchestra of love
Apart there's only silences
This day I ask let me be,
Your woofer so all will hear
This sound that has

Captured Me

Capturing Each Moment of Time

Droplets of rain dripping down your cheek
Caught by my hand whisking them away
This heart has found its lost love in you 
My hands are now yours this body too

Forever you will always be mine and I yours
No poetry ever written could replace our souls
Nor could dig as deep into mine as yours
Our blood now runs through our veins as one

Capturing each moment together and forever
Neither life nor death will tear apart this love
Place the sun back into your eyes and end this rain
These feelings of my heart have been placed gently into your soul

Caressing it each moment every second of every day
Not one could ever reach into it and steal it away
For we have locked it safely away never to be opened
The combination hidden deep within our souls 

That keeps it locked never separating our love
Through life’s adventures we will fly together
You my right wing and I your left with our bodies attached
Sailing through the clouds through rain and stormy weather

Together and forever always as one

Capturing Your Thoughts

Poetry is not just words but thoughts and memories
Each of us blending together through our minds
Poets become a silent family through their poetry
I have never met you yet, I have become close to you

Poets are family

Capturing Miss Toody

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 at every store, and bought every broom and mop.
She was loud and happy, and she sang and danced pure joy.
She was amazing and funny, and she delighted every girl and boy.

They said she was crazy, the naysayers, the means, and the moody.
She was the happiest being in the village, our own delight, Miss Toody.
She was funny and cheerful, and made everybody have a happier day.
We captured her daily, but every night, we let her squirrel herself away.

If this is a woman who has lost her mind
Then more of us need to, for she was truly always kind.
If this is a woman who needs to be put in a cage,
Put me in with her, for to me she is all of the rage.

Capturing Moments

Capturing Moments 
By: Tom Wright
12/3/98

Two strangers meet
and a brief moment share.
While one places significance,
one seems to not care.

Who owns the moments,
between this party of two?
Should their occurrence,
have been allowed to accrue?

While neither had intent,
of inflicting pain.
One had surrendered the moment,
to return not again.

A moment though shared,
may be remembered by but one.
Those we've stored in our memories,
can make our later life fun.

Capturing Your Sight

To capture ones eye
Blending colors together
Creating images
Transformed into living color
Others will see
Each brush stroke and hair
Gliding across the canvas
With swirls and twirls
From colors you choose
Theses images of art
On display
Will inspire others to see
Your visual artistic abilities and your creativity

Capturing My Soul

You are the word that has captured my soul
You moved through my mind connecting all dots
Through my electrodes you flowed creating words
Connecting deep into my soul 

As I read your poetry my mind wonders
Wondering if what you wrote was for me
Theses words you have placed together 
Reach farther then any before so deep into my soul

I hunger each day to see your poetry
Written only by you my Shakespeare of today
Your words flow like water running over glass
So smooth and gentle a never ending last

So rich and divine these words you place together
Creating such a pleasant tune of harmony and bliss
Like two lips placed together for their very first kiss
Oh my poetry soup you bring a peace that is so divine

I will write to you each day if I can find the time

Capturing the Miracles

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 sparrows, wrens and a dove or two.
Occasionally, this diverse populace gazed into the porch window at us, as if we were performers in a dinner theatre.

Colored flora blended graciously with the color burst avians; fluttering butterfly wings leant a magical aire to nature’s live painting.
We sipped raspberry tea, with our free, late lunch.

We took the magic with us into the week; life seemed miraculous, despite the weekly grind;  
magical moments savored.
