The Poetry Marathon

Love is in the air,

balloons are rising

and my deepest thoughts fly

to a certain pair of blue eyes.

Redefining normal

I am not really normal, I am different!

If everybody else wears black, I wear colours.

Because I am painting with words,

because I am a creative dreamer,

because I embroider thoughts,

thoughts that see life on rainbows!

Open widely your arms

and receive happiness!

‘coz the end is not here!

Not yet! There’s still hope!

Just learn where to find it!

Miraculous

I found a time capsule, can you believe it?

And inside it was a tiny fairy, she told me

that she survived due to the power of hope.

Somehow I understood everything she said.

I was mesmerized, she was happy to share.

She said that she was born out of a lullaby

and that a powerful princess sent her here

to guard the dreams of those encountered.

It was the princess’s gift to a planet losing faith.

I was really happy to meet her and I felt blessed.

She left to be the guardian of others’ dreams too,

not before adding that I can keep her in my heart!

Wise sayings cross my wandering mind.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Rain is a blessing in disguise due to

the rainbows that appear afterwards.

So, in the darkest hour, I say to myself:

After all, tomorrow is another day!

(the last line is from “Gone with the wind”)

Explore, explore, explore!

Some do it with binoculars,

others with a digital camera.

Some explore by reading more and more,

others by travelling more and more.

If I feel good in a plane, maybe you will

feel good doing bungee-jumping.

Everyone has a particular way of

enjoying nature and the world!

Both start with letter c: coffee and change.

With both of them I start each day-

with a good coffee and with the hope

that I will change something that day,

that I will have a fresh start.

It’s true that I often disappoint myself,

but the good intention remains.

Coffee is for the brain and offers a temporary pleasure,

while change is related to will and can shape my future.

Do you also think about a new start while enjoying your coffee?

End, happy-end…

Show must go on no matter what,

It’s a tough, but necessary lesson.

Even clowns are crying, even good masks fall

And the loser has no choice other than standing small.

Let’s discipline ourselves in the Rocky style,

Accompanied by the immortal Eye of the tiger.

Let’s be creative, let’s be fierce

And the walls of fear let’s pierce!

Sweet childhood, where did you leave?

And why did you leave so fast?

You didn’t even say goodbye!

Was growing up such an urgent matter?
