Umbel Poems | Examples


Umbel

I've been peeling this onion 
And shedding the obvious tears
Each layer 
Exposing new fears
From anger 
Toxicity nears 
Shall we sacrifice our young 
Searching for peace in the coming years
Shall genocide resolve propagation 
And end the laughter in our ears
At what cost 
Shall this future trade 
With reconditioned tears
The higher stock is made
And with onions in my eye sockets
I'm eternally afraid 
That as each layer is peeled 
A new tear is unlaid

The Ugly Duckling

... 
                  Its
                voice, 
            a rhyme,a 
               charm,  
               echo  
               o  f 
              time 
             forever    
            gone ,         piercing into 
            bulky    stillness of night, crowned  
            by the  solitude of silence, silhouettes 
            and  shadows ,dancing under an umbel of  
             darkness,  ever so present. slowly it 
             swims, on a crystal lake, gentle breeze 
              ruffles its silky silver feathers, 
---- a soothing touch of relief, a refreshing smile---------------
             The mirror couldn’t hide, its bleeding 
             grief, an ending  saga of  ridicule, but
            it  reflected   a  courage  to  survive, 
            that even grey shades couldn’t conquer. 
            It was  not just a reflection ,but an
            image          of its reality, 
            veiled
              under
               a soul 
                 hurt
                  but 
             pure.Will 
                she swim 
                  out.
