Eventless Poems | Examples


I Did Not Know

I did not know for sure
that the mouth is a very rich
and fertile source of slander,
arrow for rumors, back-plowing,
a reliable servant of the heart;
and master of every passion.
Running errands for lost soul
Releasing fire from hidden caves
If humans did not have  mouth,
and lived as plants fixed, dump,
the world would be boring boat
eventless, featureless and dead

I Sit and Write

When all else fails, I sit and write
About whatever comes to mind
   My worries pack up and take flight
My brain begins to unwind

   Words flow like butter
Just waiting to be written
   My head releases clutter
The results leave me smitten

   When my life is too much, I sit and write
Any subject will do
   After an eventless day, I get a bite
Before long I feel brand new

   No one understands my need
Frustrated, it seems they just don't care
   Oblivious to the fact that I am planting a seed
A beauty to grow from thin air 

   When I feel like a failure, I sit and write
It gives me a sense of purpose
   Once blinded, I now have sight
It brings calmness to my circus
