In a poetry blog? Get out.

These are some of the random little poems that I've written for various classes, that I didn't believe merited a section all to themselves. But they're quite smashing little darlings, all together.

Haiku

Rain has fallen down,

Tears of a lamenting Heaven,

The earth lives again.

Five Sense Poetry

Relief

Relief is the color of clear blue,

It sounds like a gentle sigh,

It tastes like a pure drink of water,

And smells like the freshest mountain air.

Relief looks like a hopeful smile,

And makes you feel liberated.

Cinquain Poetry

Cat

Fuzzy, snobbish,

Licking, biting, scratching,

You're the staff,

Menace.

Acrostic Poetry

Sky

Sweeping over the world,

Keeps going on forever,

Yours and mine to share.

Thesaurus Poetry

Deep in slumber,

Blissful sleep,

I was in dream-world,

Bathed in ecstasy,

I lay in a trance,

There in my rapture,

My Shangri-la.

Limerick (2)

There once was a girl, an addict,

Her mother was terribly strict,

But she didn’t care,

She drank coffee anywhere,

Until finally the bucket she kicked.

(And, my personal favorite.)

There once was a boy named Jake

The kids called him a mistake

Because he loved birds

They called him absurd

Until one day he flew away
