Someday when I’ll lose all my fading imagination
I’ll ask my PC to bring from the clipboard a poem for me.

Writing poetry is my passion
It always has been
Right from my school days

Been
Relegated
Condemned
To follow
The straight
And narrow

Of Poetic

Words I can
Say
Its the new
Style
Of Poetry 
DONT stray
I shall abide
Keep things
Straight
Narrow
Like
The Indians

Trying to determine – wrong from the right
Clinging to bits – healing the bytes
Moving and changing – formatting new life

My career crashed – with it my dreams
Memory erased...

Twenty teens relic of Poetry Soup
Self richeously titled 'Destroyer'
Pours gallons of gobblety goop
Franchised vagueness purveyor

Puffed vapours stutter once were

On command deliver similar blur

Moulded by...

A Puzzle of Words

Formatting a poem makes writing such fun!
Each one is a game that winds, as it wills.
A puzzle of words, each relished with thought.
And after the fun, it’s ready to share.

VICKI ACQUAH·MONDAY, MAY 15, 2017

Blue skies are for lovers;
Not for mourners, and mothers.
I am searching the clouds.
Any sign would relieve my mind.
Needing the clouds, as weeds need the rain.
Slow pace, searching for a face;
Rain drizzle...

A poet I was
‘Cause I wrote
Words so nice
Flowing lines
Easy and clear
Images that 
You could almost see
Paint with words
A world  so dear
Then I learned
To my horror
This is not
What poems should be
They need words
You've never seen
Linked...
