Good Morning

The sun arises from slumber 
As the birds begin to chirp 
The frosty grass is turning a lighter shade 
Brown leaves falling gracefully from the tall trees
The glistening diamonds of ice upon the cold concrete path
Nature awakes for another day

Take It In

First, look to your left,


 then look to your right,



 do you see that alright? 



 what your looking at is purity, 


 what your looking at is freedom, 


 the animals, do you see them? 

 their only worry is survival, 



 take it in, 



 as this forrest of eternal beauty may be gone soon, 

 with no revival, 



 this place is great, 



 ever so delightful. 






 So take it in, 


 your creativity may begin, 



 take it in, 



 take it in. 



 This place is soon no more, 

 but people choose to ignore, 

 from a place of beauty, 

 to a soon to be eyesore, 

 future generations may not be able to witness what I saw, 

 they will build unecessary buildings, 

 buildings that animals shouldn't die for. 

 So take it in, 

 your creativity may begin, 

 take it in, 



 take it in. 




 As you venture through this wonderland, 


 thoughts will appear, 


 even ones you don't understand, 


 so listen to the sounds that you can hear, 



 before they leave, 



 before they disappear,

Home Time

The clock ticks 
Almost time 
We wait now 

Thinking why 
Time goes slow 
Worst of days

Now over 
Joy at first 
Sadness grows

The Hare

Swiftly and bravely,
The Hare scatters from its home,
a glimpse of nature.

The Forest

The forest is natural and green,



Eyes no longer glued to a screen,

The purest nature,


There is nothing greater,
-

The most beautiful place I have seen.

Winter Is Not Forever

Slipping on the thick blanket of ice 
Cold and hungry
Searching for prey 
A young family relying on us 
Finding warmth within the den
Love keeps us together 
Winter is not forever, spring will come soon

Leaving the cubs in the shelter 
Another day of hard work
Short days but colder nights 
Dreaming of an early sun rise 
Hopeful of warmer days 
Patiently waiting
Winter is not forever, spring will come soon 

February has passed 
March has just began
Counting down the days
The hard, concrete like ice is no more 
The sky is brighter 
My family are happier 
Winter is not forever, spring has just come

Bereaved

Waking up not knowing how to feel 
A friend that I haven’t known for years 
The unexpected news not seeming real
Sadness but vacant of tears
Not wanting to stay in, but knowing I will
A moment of time personified by my deepest fears 
Waking up not knowing how to feel

Time passes, unlike the pain 
The world is bright but my mind is grey
Constantly feeling the same 
Waiting for the end of the day 
Thinking of the name 
Struggling to cope but there’s always a way
No one but life itself to blame
I’ve heard all the words people like to say 
Time passes, unlike the pain

Acquaintance and Neighbourhood Poetry Contest

Strolling through my new town 
Strangers talking solely on their phone
Quiet, with the occasional ringtone sound
Despite the smiles and laughs they feel alone
Imagining a conversation with a friend yet found
That awkward nod to a stranger, still on my own 
Now avoiding eye contact, staring at the ground
A community broken by an isolated tone
A place no longer bound 
Time to go home

Dreams

I see the sea and start to believe that I’m free
I hear the birds and the gentle waves 
I feel the fresh crisp air 
And as my hair to starts to sway 
For one small moment I look away
And wake up, not quite ready for another day
