Short Strong Suit Poems

The ambassador to the wayward king
But female and foreign and former
Formerly loved and revered by he
Now troubled with the queen of late
Then ambassador, Now advisor to the king

Bitter laughter from the advisor chamber
How should the advisor know what to do
Doing, never a strong suit of hers
Understanding, though, the key to advice
Nevertheless, she stays in the chamber...

You set me up for failure 
Than ask me why I didn't do anything right
You said you'd love me forever 
Even though you left right in my sight 

You were my person
My strong suit 
You were just a heavy burden 
My life just ended up being a reboot

A reboot without your love
A reboot with another guy
Someone who shows me real love
When all you have left is to say good by...

wreathed tercets

fly away statistics
fly to the hindermost
fly out of return reach

out of death and despair
out of talents wasted
out of worthless put downs

put down mortality
put down those hapless odds
put down hopeless abuse

hope is Harsha's restraint
hope is what gives her joy
hope is her one strong suit

one in her parents' eyes
one who will change her world
one victor named Harsha...

English has never been
A strong suit for me.
Going to class is a struggle
Walking up the stairs
And through the door
Yikes! 
Someone please get me out of here.
Fifty minutes. Breathe. You got this.
Oh no.
Please don’t call on me.
No. Don’t make eye contact.
Crap. 
My turn i guess. 
Maybe no one is listening?
Another essay?
WHYYYYY?
Someone tell me why I need this class.
Save me....

I apologize for what you will see here
I sometimes find myself fighting with meter
And from time to time,
The lines, they don’t rhyme,
But cut me some slack, it’s not like I’m charging you to read this, okay?

Apologies, I’ve come back to grips,
And I looked up some limerick tips.
I’ve picked up some wisdom
On structure and rhythm
But sticking to the rules has never been a really strong suit of mine....

Ideals are not my strong suit
Living with a sense of being that is quite acute.
Only straying to find an easier way
Very rarely being the prey.
Everyone says you are less than me
Yelling at me to let you be.
Offering you myself is my only plus
Unfair is the wall they put between us.

Note: The Acrostic form is really hard for me for some reason.
I guess I'll have to practice more. ~_~...

Yet I found as I pursued
We all have qualities we need to work on
This is God making us strong
Able to stand
When many think we can't
Stored us safely within his lot
We never gave up
Courage included
The lions concluded
God people are light
We shine brightly through the night
Look upon the sky
For he is our eye
Joy to the world
Through this girl
Hearts shall grow bigger
Within his favor
Stand firm my dear
My love for you is always near
Never fear
Rejoice I AM here...
