Imagination
Date written: 26th July, 2025 Contest: Three Options in I Poetry Sponsor: Constance La France The man who has no imagination has no wings. — Muhammad Ali ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Imagination lends me its safe wings, So I can soar toward futures I choose, To fill my life with hopes and precious things; Though striking gold is never a mere cruise, Neither are lily-livered crowned as kings.

Going Places
The bold horizon burned and died cold in my eyes as I turned aside on the road to nowhere taking it slow making it easy in no hurry to go I'm taking my time for I never felt the need to heed the latest mad fad or follow the current day's craze yet I don't fret or sweat the small stuff but I did learn soon enough the tide...

Blood, sweat and tears All in the name of eliminating my fears Blood, sweat and tears Just to find myself inside a Mercedes, getting an ego boost when I shift gears Blood, sweat and tears Creating a steel Armour in the form of riches Ensuring the arrows of poverty don't pierce It will be blood, sweat and tears till when? My pains have...

Price of Freedom
An old man once said: Freedom isn’t free As a child, I grew up, never understanding those words. As an adult, I learned, the tree of freedom is watered with blood. I thought we had paid enough. But as trees wither without water, so does freedom without its tribute. As such I hoped, we could pay with sweat and duty. But once again-we choose red......

Before the brow grows cold
lazy bones, bound in poverty’s grip in a garden, where hesitation weeds grow~ filled with s t r a n g l e d d e l i c a c i e s… a recipe of wisdom, never tasted couched like a fly in an endless stupor… abandoned in...

Premium Member The Door of Uncertainty
The Door of Uncertainty I stand at the door of uncertainty I have a difficult choice to make My sweaty palm grasps the handle My heart and the clock beat rapidly in sync Time is my enemy, she is relentless The ringing doorbell is a loud gong It echoes in my head urging me on Rivulets of salty water run down my face My...

Premium Member Will I Be Left
Will I be left here? My heart beats with fear, my nerves and sweat smear. Does he look at me, should I look to see? No, then hope might fade. I want plans I made to stay as dreams bade. This process is rude, hurts one’s attitude, shows no latitude … Has he eyed me yet? Man, my palms are wet. Wish I were all set. Please let...

Searching outside of myself Far and wide Looking into the eyes and souls of others Seeking answers Looking for my missing part Always sensing an absence Awakening one day with tears in my eyes A complete realization I had found my missing piece Or rather My missing piece had found me Silent warm tears streamed down my cheeks An inner heat grew in my belly My...

Let Sweat Flood the Halls
Water builds in the ends of fingers and toes It’s always there first Rising, filling up, inching closer to the heart To the core of dreaded distant thoughts Like a water balloon Expanding, ready at a moments notice to pop. Pouring sickly sweat from each tiny hole that covers the body Gathering at your feet- A puddle A clear cut reflection A reason to drown. Sink...
