Limerick About Lauren

There was once a lass named Lauren,
With an interest in men that were foreign,
I'd say she was quite smitten,
With certain men from Britain,
And they'd make her lose decorum.

Haiku

Firstly, a title,
Then come some meaningful lines,
Here the poem ends.

Superwoman

So it seems the whole world is feeling down,
Struggling with frustration and emotion,
People trying to get feet off the ground,
But though I'm watching, standing still,
The world's still spinning round,
And time keeps moving on,
That's just how it works,
You'll have highs as well as lows,
Some things easy, some things hard,
That's just how it goes.
Right now I'm superwoman,
I'm on top of the world,
Helping friends through a hard mile,
Because nothing feels better,
Than when they laugh, when they smile,
Feels like I'm making that difference,
Doing good in the world,
And it feels worth it too,
Because when it's my turn for feeling down,
I know these friends will pull me through.

Young Love

You know I'd be ready for love,

Because that's so sweet and fun,

Though it seems when we are young,

It doesn't last all that long,

But summer days filled with kisses,

Smiling, laughing, intimate touch,

We'll just soak up the sun,

And live dreams under stars when night has come,

Then we shall lose it,

Our young hearts will break,

But young hearts are strong,

Baby we'll live on,

You know your love was worth this heartache.

Feeling Down

When you're feeling sick and dumb,

Sitting alone without a clue,

Everything aches yet everything's numb,

And you don't know what to do,

Sip your hot tea,

Let a tear escape your eye,

Take a moment to breathe,

Then give it another try,

Because though you are down,

And the world's seeming grey,

You've got the love and the strength,

To fight for better days.

Dear diary,

How did it happen,

Being pulled into this art,

Of giving a rhythm,

To the words of my heart,

It's deeper than a diary,

But I let people see,

These are raw feelings,

To the highest degree,

So feel my pains,

Share in my smiles,

Join me in tears,

As I write through my trials,

Come on my journey,

It's only just begun,

And through these days I'll keep fighting,

Because in all I'm having fun.

Ache

What is it about me,
What do you see,
What is it about you,
The things you do,
Somehow you've got me feeling,
Like I should be singing blues.

No one said it would be easy,
Life's a rough ride,
And what you're going through,
My heart's been through it too,
So just keep on smiling,
One day I'll be old news.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you,
Wish there was something I could do,
But they're funny things,
These feelings,
And in my heart there is no flutter,
Just an ache.

Mind Mess

Everything is on

my empty mind

but a tethering point

I cannot find.

There isn't a way

to get these words down

put pen to page

and feet to ground.

Like a word search

a mess of a system

if I find the words

my mouth will twist 'em

so I find a diversion

always the same

got the words, got the rhythm

and nothing to say.
