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.

Another day of gloomy gray
with freezing drizzle on the way
it's overcast with no sunshine
ice and snow enshroud the pine
two more months I have to wait
for spring to show up at the gate
Until late March I'll brave the cold
that makes my joints feel stiff and old

Yes, I do like to wear a hat
I’ll even wear one with a cat
I’ll wear one when I go outside
I’ll wear one when my food is fried
I’ll wear one when I climb a tower
I’ll wear one when I take a shower
I’ll wear a hat, my dear friend Sam
But I will not eat green eggs and ham

She reached her hand into her pocket
Took out something, a golden locket
For you, My Love, I give this gift
For when you’re sad, your heart to lift

I clicked the latch, the lid unlocked
I looked inside, was slightly shocked
There was a tiny picture of my Love
Her nudity covered by a turtle dove

Which key will unlock the door?
There’s only one, there aint no more.
Just slide it in and then give it a twist,
Grasp the key firmly and turn your wrist.

The tumblers click, the door swings wide,
I step over the threshold, I’m safely inside.
I quickly turn the knob to relock the door
There are too many people, I’ll go out no more!

When you write a story
You may share memories
You may share imagination
While seldom showing us yourself

When you write a poem
You may share memories
You may share imagination
While displaying your soul on a shelf

We're leaves in a river
It’s constantly flowing
Floating with current
Wherever it’s going

Ahead is uncharted
Memories of past
Living each day
Praying they last.
