Poem 4
After the rain
The sun does come out after all
It peeps from behind fluffy balls of cotton
It waits, it lingers
And I wonder does it frown or smile?
Silly mortals perhaps it contends
Just as it smoothly edges out
Stretching its arms as if in a yawn
Light rays spraying wide across
Like opportunity and hope and more tomorrows for us silly folk.
Poem 3
Perfection
Toes curl away from the cold
Away from the rushing waves
Sand, such tiny particles
Collect in clumps at my feet.
Course and vile
Yet playfully soothing
I wiggle painted toes and laugh
from a depth not often sought
And I’m lighter than before
Seeking nothing more
Than to be perfection which was here from the start.
Poem 2
Disappointment
Dampness clings to my soul
As grey and black misty skies swirl
And disappointment
Yet another unwanted gift
Taunts
Wrapped in a bows of velvet red
That touch, that feel
Indeed disappointment taunts
Like love turned to dust
Poem hour 1
Do you hear me?
I hear the sounds between raindrops
the words you do not say, the thoughts you drop my way
But do you hear me?
The answers tucked away in warm blankets of sarcasm
The laughter that rings out to hide my fear
A subtle pause placed here and there
My silence
Do you hear?
Hi I’m DanielleM
This is my second full marathon I participated last year and though it was hectic and demanding and almost drove me insane I had a blast.
Hoping life cooperates this time ’cause it never does. Ever! (:
Best of luck to everyone!
