National Poetry Day

Acrostic

Never needed a day to celebrate
A writing form such as poetry,
Terrifying in its simplicity,
Impossibly imaginative in its creation
On an auspicious day when fall
Never ends, but is reborn in
All its glorious colors of redish hues
Later, later, leaving you dressed in a crown.

Pottery bowls made of words are filled
Onto their rim, overflowing with
Eternal, laughter, life, love, all
Travel on a journey of discovery
Rendered bearable, only with poetry.
Yet, many have set it aside and forgotten

Devastation driven through ignorance
And approval of the prolific devastation
Your moral compass has fallen to.

In celebration of a day for the enjoyment of words that are flexible enough to describe your unbound imagination.

Author of Perfectly Flawed, poetry for change.

Death of a Monarch

Almost a century of life, for her,
Seven decades as a ruler,
Having lived through upheavals,
Political and economic battles,

She was renowned for her strength
As a woman in a man’s earth,
Running the world from her
Ivory tower as a great power.

All she does is well documented
By history, media, family, that’s reported
With an eye for scandal,
And everything that’s amoral.

With her death comes younger blood,
Is it better, I wonder? They flood
Their position with new vision
That takes time, patience, and revision.

What will they bring to the table,
That’s enlightening and favorable
For the people?
