Winter by Abbie April 21, 2008

Honk, Honk, Honk;
a gaggle of geese slowly make their way toward the south,
warning of the brutal winter storm that is coming.
The gray sky threatens to let down its fury.
The long wretched branches of trees stretch out,
as if they are waiting to grab me and take me away.
A bushy red tail appears above the grass, a squirrel.
It sleepily dashes across the field looking for one last nut,
before it returns to its warm hole, in a tree.
A cold bitter wind begins to blow,
making my ears scream for a hat.
Delicate snowflakes begin to appear,
twirling down from the sky
like ballerinas dancing.
Winter is here.

Spring, Spring, Spring by Thomas April 21, 2008

With every single breath you take
Each adding rain drops to the lake,
The flowers sing and grasses shake for
Spring, spring, spring

The robins sing as their nest they make,
Leaves unfold as tree branches shake,
It’s all too much for a man to take
Spring, spring, spring

The white has gone both sickles and flakes
Sun pierce the clouds as the cold it takes
The earth rejoices to God whom creates,
Spring, spring, spring

When Wings Begin to Fly by Annabelle April 21, 2008

Filed under: poetry — cspauld @ 11:18 am

You feel the air against your face

Your heart going like crazy

Racing and running

And going to face your mind

Your wings start to give

And you soar

You feel new inside and…

Let go

You feel that nothing in the world

Matters anymore

 You die from the freedom

Loving to fly and…

Being you

If? by Anonymous February 5, 2008

Filed under: poetry — cspauld @ 12:04 pm

If people were to smile
And whisper sweet things,
Would this world be as troubled
Or in such need?
If people were to laugh and hug one another,
Would people not hate,
But love each other?

It captures time

And puts it in a frame

Smiles, frowns, tears and laughter

Of people in the past.

A snippet of a story,

A taste of a tale,

Like a crumb of a cake.

Pictures percieve people,

Posing or playing,

They are memories,

Showing stories

Seen and unseen.
