A place to write and store short poems.
These are short poems, many written for {item:"EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT or other challenges. Don't let the size deter you, although short and to the point, many of these poems have much larger messages.

Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: sew on a button


I lost the button off my shirt,
But found it lying in the dirt.
Should I put it in my pocket
Or store it safely in my locket?

Maybe I could tie it to a string
And watch the little button swing.
I'll sew it so my shirt stays closed
Ensuring my belly is not exposed.

Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: image of doors


My mind is a hallway, doors on each side.
Behind each of these doors memories hide.
Some memories are loving, happy, and glad,
While others are scary, hurtful, and sad.

In the light of the day I open door after door
Enjoying the wonderful memories they store.
At night, in my dreams, other doors open wide
With nightmares and terrors best left inside!

Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: I Choose the Mountain


Should I choose the mountain?
Just how high should I climb?
Will I ever reach the summit?
Do I have the strength and time?

Or should I stay in the forest?
With a canopy of branches overhead
And a cool stream to bring me water;
I think I'll stay here til I'm dead.

Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: LIVING MINDFULLY


Living life mindfully is honorable and wise,
In time it should become both habit and reprise.

Always think out what you do, always be aware.
Consider other people and treat each other fair.

In the end life's measured by how you think and act.
It's what you have contributed, not what you may extract.


Put your best foot forward and always give your best,
Instead of living life mindlessly, like many of the rest.
