My body is Centralia:
If you hang around long enough
You’ll see smoke escaping crevices
The roaring flames hissing
Through my rib cage
The population dwindles, most recognize
The danger of living there,
But there’s always the few who refuse to leave
Their love burns hotter than any mine fire...
It’s….beautiful…
The trees dance beneath an ethereal glow,
Golden light gleaming where shadows grow.
They crackle and split, their laughter as fire,
Ashes ascending, dark plumes climb higher.
Smoke weaves soft sashes, the sky it mars,
Flowing like waves in a sea of golden stars.
The light drifts gently on the night’s cool breeze,
A fleeting warmth through the whispering trees.
I reach to catch ...
I loved to read
I yearned to share
and I needed to learn.
I read for endless hours
I could answer every question
and I just wanted more
I danced and sang
I skipped and played
I had friends
I was happy
and I was ok
The fire inside me burnt bright
with brilliant sparks of amber and rose
Shining flames of gold and maroon
My spark my joy
my love
burned passionatly
but they dont like optimistic litt...
Fire is a fickle fiend
When I exhale all my anger
It roars like the lions in my head
When I cry out all my sadness
It dips down like the dying daisies in my eyes
When I kiss the flames with my happiness
It was dances like the undoubtful Danes in my dreams
When I tell tales of all my love affairs
It burns and simmers
Like the heat rising to my cheeks
Fire is a fickle fiend
Like the mind that so val...
Dear dad
Where did you go when I needed you
How are you gonna bury me
You gotta see your son too see it through
Motherfucker left for milk and took the scenic route
Motherfucker left me with a unscenic view
Your just another John
So it’s on sight
When you see the roof
The Apple doesn’t fall far from
The tree
And heaven fell from
A bite of fruit
So when I’m hell on earth
That piece is a...
The lake is full so they light a fire instead
Carry me to it, marching me to hell
And the men sing their tuneless songs,
To the beat of the church bell.
I imagine it will ring again, once I am dead.
My dress clings to me like a second skin,
There is a mess of hands pulling at the hem
Some belong to children, they thinks it’s a game.
I curse the rest but I spare them
As the air around me thickens,...
Iv’e only ever seen it contained.
Once while driving.
Many a times sitting.
Cooking too.
The strange thing is
It’s so present
It’s so known
Yet is it even here?
If you look at it for a while
This weightless thing
You begin to see its lack of shape
Lack of structure and support
Peoples fingers go through it
People’s lives are consumed by it
Yet every time I light a candle
It’s only the candle ...
They danced
much longer than crewfew
Learning the light
So the plain things
Are plain to see.
Rotting wildflowers.
Rage and passion blend into a bleeding sunset.
Goodbyes that sound like
Death toll.
The beat of a drum
Right on que.
Somebody new.
Not trying to get burned before
The cold sets in.
I reached my hand out in the dark.
You handed me a knife.
You watched while I cut ...

POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)
