Here I'm Safe

I can feel it whirling outside
Floorboards creak
And the mighty power surrounds me
But even when the lights are gone
And candles are our only light
I know I'm safe here.
Safe here, baking cookies
Fire in the hearth
Wind whirls outside,
hurls branches at us,
tries to blow us down like the big bad wolf (bad simile, I know, but it's funny and it's true).
But here I'm safe
Safe as I read poems,
listen to music,
drink hot cocoa.
Oh, outside there is a battle raging
Wind chimes clatter
Branches snap
Leaves scatter.
But here I'm safe.

Lilly

My cat, here she sits

In the hours of twilight

And her tail gently flits 

To the left and the right.

Her complete lack of fear

 Her eyes glisten with light

This cat will stay here

For the rest of the night.

Hurricane

I look through the eye of a hurricane.
I see the places it touches,
bringing only destruction.
I look through the eye of the hurricane.
I hear only the rustling of a thousand leaves,
and the wind howling by.
I look through the eye of the hurricane.
I feel death in my lungs,
something every hurricane wishes to put upon us.
I look through the eye of the hurricane.
I taste expectations,
Everyone waiting for the next weather report, hoping for good news.
I look through the eye of the hurricane
I smell death and decay,
for a hurricane is one who contains no good.

A Distant Dream

One night I dreamed that I could fly
To sadness, death I said good-bye
I soared way up above fear and pain
Where friendship and kindness were clear and plain
Where no one cared what clothes you wore
Or if your clothes were from a certain store
Where love was full and real to me
The place we all wish we could be.
But while you sit and dream of this
There are opportunities you will miss.
You can make that life happen if you try really hard
Start by sending your faraway loved ones a card
Be the change in the world that you want to see.
Chase your dreams, do what's right be kind to your family.
Be kind to everyone, and yourself as well.
Be polite, respectful and try not to yell!
Remember, it's not what you've done
But it is what you do
Every day you start fresh, every day you are new
You're really quite tough, and you should always have hope
That with problems and obstacles you'll be able to cope.
If you do this and more,
You might start to say
"Wow, that distant dream isn't so far away."

Things that I love

I love brownies,
cake,
my family,
things that I make,

cats,
dogs,
writing,
making blogs,

skiing,
being with someone,
drawing,
having fun,

pizza,
steak,
looking through magazines,
for something to bake,

laughter,
doing my hair,
summer,
The Fryerburg Fair.

      

Fall Leaves

I love fall.
The crunching of leaves underfoot,
the beautiful trees, coated in reds, oranges and yellows,
It all just enchants me.
It brings me to a state of peace.
But fall is to me, the quickest season of the year.
And when fall leaves,
I feel as if it began only a day ago.

Cats

I own one cat. No two, no three!

and they are as cute as cats can be.

I have a black cat sporting some white,

he's dressed in a tux, going out at night.

My next cat is the color yellow,

She's really shy, and nice and mellow.

My third cat is a mix of colors,

she's everything, unlike the others.

I love my cats, they're so nice to me,

and they are as cute, as cats can be!

My Fall Poems

Wow, guys! We haven't posted in SO long!!!!!! Ok, now to the point. Here is my collection of poems by ME!!!!!!!

Fall Poem #1 (I know, what a creative title)

Leaves crunch underfoot

Fall's fireworks exploding

In the neon trees.

Fall Poem #2

The trees are changing

Some are green, like no one told them summer was over

And some are bare, as if they've been waiting for this all year.

Sky so blue above them

They glow in the chilly rays

Stained-glass fall leaves

I'm falling for fall!

I have a suggestion for a blog rule: NO PUTTING DOWN OTHERS' POEMS. It's mean and makes people feel bad about their writing. Agreed?
