POEM STARTER
Write a poem inspiring beauty from something very ordinary, like a cup of coffee or a pair of shoes.
Or it could be a boring activity like making breakfast; make it seem like the most magical experience!

Water mutes the world
Of all the loud sounds nearby
I get lost in my thoughts
Down here there is no time
I could run in the sun
And hope my joints will forgive me
I could wade in the lake
And find solice in the vast sea
Each breath is calculated
Every gasp of air is planned
Like a sweet meditation
If I were crisscrossed on land
Don’t call my name
Nothing can be heard
When I’m submerged in m...
The water sways
within the glass
When the world moves
so does the water within.
Ice floats to the top
How?
I mean to say
You’re a chameleon
Versatile
Flexible
You can form to
What’s needed
When the world moves
I want to move too
I’m not like you.
You are so damn
beautiful, and
within you
is the very essence of survival
Within me,
I feel empty.
What do you feel?
I love you water
When the ...
Coffee for the first time
is very bitter
Coffee over time
we get used to the bitter
It's a habit
that we chose to ignore
we shove it down our throats
even though we don't have too
God can take away
that bitter in your life
You don't have to deal with it,
you can be free
so let Him take care of you
and you can enjoy the sweet

Take note of them
Breathe them in
Bask in them
We take them for granted
We don’t think about them
Until we don’t have them
And in those moments
We really need the stillness
the calm of these words
But when you think of them
wish for the quiet
you lose them...

Darling, you’re beautiful,
but if you lack confidence,
nobody else will see your beauty.
Don’t be afraid to show your prominence.
Opinions are not facts,
people are going to talk.
You are what you think,
with strength, you will walk.
They’ll call you ordinary,
but please know, Darling,
you are quite the opposite.
Your job is modeling
the beauty of an “ordinary.”
Darling,...
On the verge of tears,
Being alive in this place.
Beauty burying any fears,
Holding on to my space.
Pulled apart by happiness,
Held together by sorrow.
Your heart beautiful nonetheless,
Hoping it will see tomorrow.
This cage of ivory,
Braced with hope.
Laced in your quarry,
Grief cutting this rope.
Beauty in this simple life,
Beating till you die,
Lesson in this strife,
Love the tears I cry.

I love coffee mugs
Do I like coffee?
Or tea?
Or anything in between?
Well no
No I don’t like coffee for my coffee mugs
And I don’t drink tea in the afternoon
And I won’t pour hot chocolate either
So why do I want these mugs?
I like the designs
I like the pretty colors
And I like the idea of them
They bring me joy even if I have no use for them
So I’ll continue to collect mugs that wi...
Perhaps the tears from the clouds
and the glitter from the stars
could make all the crowds
understand different scars.
The clouds cry too
and the stars demonstrate
that love can be true
even when not driven straight.
When a cloud shifts,
the stars remain steady.
However, through several rifts,
the clouds keep you ready.
[Short, and unfinished.]...
