Teaching me everything you know about
How to succeed in this world will
Always be the greatest gift you’ve ever given me.
Never will I forget all the
Knowledge you’ve shared to help me be the best I can be.
Your love and wisdom are blessings,
Opening my eyes to new ideas and
Unbelievable experiences that I can take with me for life.
Days, weeks, years may pass, but
As life goes on, this message of gratitude remains in my heart:
Daddy, thank you for everything! I love you!
Happy Father’s Day to my awesome dad! Thank you for all you’ve ever taught me about life! I value and cherish your wisdom every day! I love you!
To stop me in my tracks,
To root me to the spot,
To fix my subtle gaze,
It takes one look.
To slow my racing heart,
To make me catch my breath,
To chill me to my core,
It takes one breath.
To make my heartbeat skip,
To take away the world,
To make me feel alive,
It takes one kiss.
One look,
One breath,
One kiss,
From you.
And all my fears will fade
As all my dreams come true
In one romantic kiss
With you.
So hold me in your arms
And love me all your life,
And always I will live
To be with you.
And every look I spare,
And every breath I take,
And every kiss I give
Will be for you.
My love,
My life,
My One.
Yet another old poem I dug up. As you can imagine, I wrote this while thinking about someone special. Fun fact: he was so inspired by my poem that he wrote music for it and used these words as lyrics. For now the song is just between us, but maybe we’ll share it someday. Hope you enjoy the piece! Thanks for reading!
Butterfly wings
Flutter by
Many colors
Catch my eye
Floating on
The gentle breeze
Those lovely wings
Show grace and ease
Kiss the petals
Of a rose
The scarlet of
A blossom grows
Reflected in
Those purple scales
Open wide
Like billowed sails
Touch the dewdrops
On the green
Wash those wings out
Fresh and clean
Flutter on
As morning calls
Orange light
On wingtips falls
Yellow flowers
Streaked with blues
Light those wings
In varied hues
A butterfly
I’d love to be
To paint a rainbow
And fly free
Sure is tough to live like me,
As you very well can see.
Got a cowboy on my back
(Pretty sure his name is Jack).
He’s been eatin’ more and more,
And my back is awful sore.
But I guess it’s all the same
To a horse without a name.
Based on a writing prompt from Writer’s Carnival: Horseplay.
Write 50 words of poetry, no more and no less, on what it means to be a horse.
I improvised this piece for a writing challenge in about five minutes. It wasn’t easy to write a poem using only 50 words, but at least it was fun to try! I hope you enjoy what I’ve written. Thanks for reading!
