A Lightening Storm that Sings
A sharp bang it sang,
Which struck down with a loud pang!
Jagged across the sky like a laser beam,
What a streak to see underneath;
the black skies of old!
It lighted the heavens,
And extinguished the flames.
Forever in Jahanam!
Forever in Jahannah!
That is what we are told in legends foretold.
Signs of light seep in the dark abyss!
Showering down hail!
Keeping a

The Songbird Still Sings
2025 Poetry Marathon Mile 14 Contest // Sponsored by: Mark Toney
( 1st Place )
Written: September 04, 2025
They said the songbird
her wings twisted and torn
should quiet herself...
that the sky held no place
for the fragile or the worn.
Yet she kept a sky tucked inside her - a
place untouched by any hand.
At daylight she let her

In the depths of silence, when the moon sings its melancholy tune
In the depths of silence, when the moon sings its melancholy tune,
I lose myself in the whispers of the wind, seeking an ancient rune.
On the paths of night, my steps echo like falling stars in flight,
Through labyrinths of dreams, I delve in search of a call so right.
In the mirror of the sky, the wishes

In the shadow of silence, when the soul sings of unknown longings
In the shadow of silence, when the soul sings of unknown longings,
An ancient song rises within me, like an incantation,
In which lines of stars float, caught in the threads of the night,
And the dream envelops me like a wave of infinite, ungraspable.
In the blue of this universe, where time flows slowly,
Whispers of wind and drifting

Under the moonlight, in the silence that sings like an ancient bell
Under the moonlight, in the silence that sings like an ancient bell,
Thoughts flow like a river of stars illuminating the path,
Mirroring in waters the faces of forgotten gods, ancient shadows,
In a dance of eternity, where desire and fear meet.
Between truth and dream, a silver bridge is built in the night,
A path to infinity, where spirits

On Beautiful Wings, Our Love Sings
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Together – we wrote the story
Together, we give God the glory
Connected by the most powerful light
Feelings that assure us of what’s right
Together – we found our reason
Together, throughout each season
Joined by the most gentle song
Promises who surely right

The Caged Bird Still Sings
Written By: D. Collins 7/7/25
I know the names of some of the greatest to ever dawn black skin.
Dr. Charles Drew, Miles Davis, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin.
Generations from now their achievements will be overlooked.
Due to coordinated efforts to remove them from history books.
There were the Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airmen.
Maya Angelou and descriptive writings

Savagery Sings
The world alone is making me smile
left to marvel at its natural wonder.
Glowing out loud is always in style.
On a level high above thunder,
I fly on the sunshine in my veins.
My label’s that mach five number.
When caged by what society feigns,
many forget the important things.
If you fumble? Innate wisdom remains.
Wasted on the fury

Toward you I move, with every step lost in the wind that sings stories
Toward you I move, with every step lost in the wind that sings stories,
When I say I'm coming home, I'm actually moving toward you, though I scatter along the way,
The warmth of returning envelops me like a cloak woven from memories of longing,
And the milestones of the roads press like long shadows stretching over ancient

Still the Dust Sings
after ‘The waste Land’, by T.S. Eliot
I met a woman on a glitching screen,
her face a whisk of pixels and prayer.
She spoke of shattered systems and survived code,
“The cloud remembers everything,” she said, "but forgets what matters.”
A rat hurried through my feed at dawn,
past memes and headlines, each a kind

I would go where silence sings like a river of stars in the deep, vivid night
I would go where silence sings like a river of stars in the deep, vivid night,
Where birds find their nests and the morning rises on wings of light,
There where the Sky kisses the Earth with lips full of blue and the greenery sighs,
Where the day whispers a gentle secret to the night and people gaze

Water sings a lilting lullaby
Hear Ye!
the babbles of brook flowing on by.
the fizzy hiss of foam floating on tide.
the howls of a waterfall crying into sky.
the raging roar of waves crashing on beach.
the pitter-patter raps of raindrops on window panes.
the splish and swish of paddles straddling lake.
the tinkle taps of gentle rain showers on rooves.
the guttural gurgle of water
