Loop Poetry Challenge

There’s somethin’ comfortin’ about being face down on the ground,
Ground down by life’s natural violence,
Violence treated as commonplace; a happenstance of race.
Race you to the bottom – complacent in compliance.

Loop: Truth Wonderful

Riding atop a wave
Wave of freedom
Freedom of mind

Weather: Loop poem.

Poetry challenge: Loop poem.

Winter has arrived

arrived with its freezing

freezing weather to bother

bother us all for months

Nature’s cry

Poetry Challenge: Loop poetry

Do you remember

Remember that ancient wind

Wind that gave breath to the forgotten forests

Forests whose enchanting song woke my soul

Soul that saw the dawn shimmer dancing

Dancing the night away

Loop Poetry: Her Voice

Her feelings caught

Caught in a human cage

Cage of words in her thought

Thought she tries to let go with rage

Hard as she tries

Tries to express

Express the tears she cries

Cries, neglected in wilderness

Open Thought – Loop Poetry

A mind left open
Open to any thought
Thought leading to emotion
Emotion of the heart.

Poetry Challenge – Loop Poetry

Within – A Loop Poem

I hunger for you.

You, present, is all I need.

Need I keep seeking?

Seeking to fill a void, but . . .

But perhaps the answer is here?

Here within me waiting to be set free . .  .

Free me to be myself . . .

Loop Poetry Challenge~~ “Madness”

O this madness!
Madness, clanging,
Clanging wind chimes–
Chimes that once,
Once were lullabies.

Lullabies? Siren songs–

Ocean: Loop poem.

Poetry  challenge: Loop poetry.

Ocean so calm

calm to swim

swim for enjoyment

enjoyment at the beach.

Loop Poetry: Tell Me Why?

Poetry challenge: Loop poetry.

Tell me why?

Why I am at a loss of words

Words dead when deep in emotions

Emotions cryptic as crosswords

Tell me why?

Why I lose my mind

Mind, of one’s own making

Making my eyes blind

Life.

Poetry challenge:  Loop poetry.

Life is such

such as it is

is it good

good for you

Poetry Challenge – Loop Poetry

Lady of the Night

She stirs
Stirs from slumber
Slumber that was deep
Deep eyes of glassy umber

She scans her surrounds
Surrounds herself with delicate cloth
Cloth that she has woven
Woven to capture the frightened moth

Loop Poetry: Who am I?

Poetry challenge: loop poetry.

Who am I?

I am what I don’t see

See my existence unknown

Unknown as my fate to be

Life’s meaning from a question

Question to think hard and deep

Deep as the ocean in a mystery

Mystery to wake us from sleep

Legacy

Poetry challenge, Loop poetry.

Can this be real,
Real beyond a doubt,
Doubt creating us to feel,
Feel how we should not.
