Danger
Fear
and pain
always drain
mind and will.
Action difficult
to start
when afraid.
24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
This is my third marathon. The first two were interesting over the past two years most of my writing has consisted of short statements on daily life, politics, and philosophy posted to Facebook in addition to an occasional poem and some informational documents. I have been writing off and on for many years but only writing poetry for about 13 years. Looking forward to this challenge and making new friends and reading some new poetry.
Fear
and pain
always drain
mind and will.
Action difficult
to start
when afraid.
Daily sun rises from the East.
Light and heat beast.
Rise together.
Last forever.
One hundred thousand lux you swore.
Bright sky and more.
Will blind your eyes.
While skin deep fries.
One hundred ten it is today.
Shower and spray.
You need to cool.
So find a pool.
Do you know me friend?
I no not myself,
As hard as I try,
I can’t find myself.
Where is it I hide?
Can you direct me?
I could use the help.
To find my insight.
To understand me.
That is what I seek.
After I find me.
You should all do that.
Lizards everywhere crawling all over..
Rattlesnakes in yard thriving everywhere.
Gila monsters not geckos stop over.
Scarlet racers stop hostile takeover.
Herpetologist study both to know.
Knowledge to prevent unintended woe.
Reptiles are all right content to just live.
People are the ones busy contriving.
Stroke their pen
In their den
For a yen
Not wise men
Write again
Bottled ink
Do not drink
Stroke the clink
You may stink
Don’t rethink
What will you do?
When you find the facts.
When you finally know the truth.
Will you truly understand what it means?
How will you use the information to live your life?
Will living your life make any difference in the lives of others.
At the vey lease will it make any difference in your life or the lives of your family.
If it doesn’t will it make any difference to you, will you change your life
Will you be honest with yourself when you answer this question?
What will you do to change your life if you do anything?
What will be the result of you action or lack of on you?
Do you every think about what knowledge to have.
Do you ever stop to consider the power?
Do you care at all?
The wind is blowing down the draw
The man he walked into its maw
Heat Source
It blew hard, he tried to withdraw
He could not move even when he clawed
Heat Wave
The heat built up as he foresaw
It was so hot he was in awe
Heat Stroke
Every day we hear them,
their purpose is mayhem.
The more the better and
certainly, no encyclical letter.
Maybe you will repeat
what was said in a tweet,
or what you heard on Fox,
or was it from some hawks.
That you will figure out the trope
Maybe I find some hope.
That you may become a sleuth
and find your way to truth.
Look into the East
the light in sky a feast.
The planets slowly fade,
the stars close their eyes.
The night beast recuses
the night bloomers fade.
People often miss
the wonder of the dawn.
Snug in their bed
too tired to rise.
Miss the fresh blooms of morn
the day creatures arise.
When people awake
the day has been in motion,
what else will folk miss
as they go through their day.
So caught up in life
and oblivious to nature.
If you use your mind
Intelligence you may have
We must wait to see
