No "coffeehouse" experience would be complete without a little poetry, right?
So, we've got the lights down low, candles burning, and a little Jazz playing in the background here today, as we present these selections for your enjoyment, in honor of National Poetry Month.
So sit back, relax, and sip on your brew of choice.
Feel free to leave a "tip" in the way of comments. :-) Hope you enjoy!
VISIONS
I see the day before me
A blank canvas
To create my own images
Of scenic blue skies
Or grey clouds
Through my mind's eye
I see the day before me
Unused, fresh clay
To be molded and meshed
To my dream's desires
I am the creator of my own masterpiece
Each day adding dimension
As life bursts forward
In rich rainbow hues
Shaping my horizons

DAY 356
When I met you
I needed you
After needing you
I wanted you
After wanting you
I loved you
After loving you
I left you
After leaving you
I realized
That I had made
A mistake
(c) P.W. McBeth
STILL HERE
I've been scarred and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me, sun has baked me.
Looks like between 'em
They done tried to make me
Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--
But I don't care!
I'm still here!
(C) Langston Hughes

ReplyDeleteI'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
