Writing 101 Day 9: Camouflage
Camouflage
In plain site
Some things hide
Whether it be intentional
Or not
Some things have a way
Of covering themselves
Hiding in plain site
One has to wonder
How?
How do they do it?
Why do they do it?
How do they hide themselves so well?
Do they know they are good
at hiding?
Camouflage is an interesting concept
For hiding in plain site
Is easy for some
Whether they know it
Or not
Writing 101 Day 8: Graffiti
Graffiti
What is graffiti?
To some an art form
To others a form of vandalism
Colors spray painted
By talented artists
Who want to brighten up the street
Or paint is sprayed by those
Who wish to destroy
And ruin
A piece of art
That is already there
Graffiti is different to many
Some view it as art
While others view it as cruel vandalism
Writing 101 Day 6: Fallacy
Fallacy
How to make a poem that does not make sense?
How does one make that happen?
What is so funny about a poem that is said to be fake?
What is there?
Is it meant to have many false statements?
Is it meant to have many false scenarios?
Fallacy in poetry is around
Many before have shown
How fallacy can turn a poem
What is fallacy in poetry?
Nonsensical Politicians
Nonsensical Politicians
What type of nonsense is there in the world?
What do we consider to be nonsense?
We hear many people make false statements
Yet, we don’t consider many of them
To be nonsense
When a politician proposes
An insane idea
That he or she
Says will improve the country
The reaction is fifty/fifty
Many people who support
This person will claim
It is a good idea
While the others will call it nonsense
the false statements that are made
The outrageous attempts
To gain support
Then have a plan fall through
And blame the other man
Nonsensical Politicians are all around
In both parties
On both sides
Don’t forget that
Writing 101 Day 5: Freedom
Freedom
What is Freedom?
How do we get freedom?
In school
I was told
Freedom isn’t free
How do we get freedom?
Why is freedom not free?
The word free
is in freedom
Yet, in order to achieve
Freedom
A sacrifice is made
People go to war
To fight for
Their country
To make sure the ones
Safe at home
Are able to enjoy freedom
Freedom is something
That is taken for granted
All to often
There are other countries
That don’t have as much freedom
As I do
Freedom is fought for
Freedom is taken for granted
All to often
Writing 101 Day 1: Magic
Magic
What magic did I create this year?
What did I accomplish?
What did I do that is magic?
How much magic did I cause?
There is much that I accomplished
In the year 2015
Starting this blog
And receiving some followers
Is magic enough.
The Fearless Father
The Fearless Father
There was a man
Who was going to pray
When he saw a man
Who would cause pain
The fearless father
Threw himself
Upon the man
Saving hundreds
Of people
When the bomb went off
The fearless father
was going to pray
Inside a Mosque
A place to pray
Outside a place of prayer
In Beirut
His hometown
The fearless father
Became a hero
himself
The fearless father
Is forever remembered
As he gave his life
Leaving behind
A wife and two children
Who he made proud
for so many others
In memory of Adel Termos, the man who saved countless others from a suicide bomber in Beirut, Lebanon. May this hero be remembered
Aurora
Aurora
Men, women, and children
Filled the theater
To see a movie
That was anticipated
Little did they know
There was a man
Who decided to open fire
Upon the innocent
When he went up front
They thought it was for show
Part of the a promotion
For The Dark Knight Rises
They were wrong
With the gun shots deafening
The panic all around
No one knew what to do
Or where to go
They knew they had to leave
Before they were next
With twelve people gone
And fifty-eight injured
Several people
Had their lives
Ruined forever
The strength that was shown
By the small town
Of Aurora, Colorado
Is still shown today
For justice has happened
The perpetrator found guilty
May these souls rest in peace
And the injured find comfort
the relatives rest in that justice has been served
We will not forget what happened
That night
For all we know
It could have been
At any theater
Anywhere
The Volcano
The Volcano
In the darkness
A mountain is a glow
with fire coming
Out of the top
Sparks of flame
Light up the darkened
Smoke rises filling the
Night sky
On the mountain
You can see more light
That comes from
The outside
And reflects more
Of what the mountain
Is not what it was
A volcano
Has erupted
Beautiful
Yet frightening
The volcano is mystifying
To look at
While others fear
The destruction
That is to come
I stare in awe
As nature starts
To paint art
Through the volcano
