‘Morning Pages’

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Morning Pages
Are a treat
A chance for you
To press ‘delete’

Stream of consciousness
Is the goal
Writing from within
The deepest of Souls

Clearing the mind
Is what it achieves
Wearing your Heart
On it’s sleeve

At the conclusion
Pen and paper retired
Your brain is now
So unwired

Free to create
Without the clutter
Creative thoughts now
You can utter

Into The Distance

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Into the distance
Our mind forecasts

Better things
Than in times past

Working hard
Change the tune

Thinking smart
Toward that fortune

Restless Spirit
Needs reassuring

Imagination
Quite alluring

Focus required
Plans in place

Steady as she goes
Still in the race!

Steel Dinosaur

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Majestically it rises
The steel dinosaur

It creeps into the sky
Just look at how it soars!

Filled with tiny beings
Going about their day

Working so hard and long
To derive their extra pay

Shining in the Sun
An architectural marvel

A testament to the powers
Of the human carnival

A beacon to all mankind
Ambition of the highest order

The planner, the builder
Mankind the steel embroider

Majestically it rises
The steel dinosaur

It creeps into the sky
Just look at how it soars!

Remnants Of Life

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Riding along the highway
Desert clouds loom

Out from the horizon
Hear the thunder boom!

Rain, it falls
Like sheets of glass

Tearing across
Long dried out grass

Ghostly calls are heard
Long borne in strife

Clamouring for attention
Mere remnants of life

Rising from the Earth
Those next in line

Continue their journey
An infinite paradigm…

Stories…

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

They ring in the air
With the passing breeze

Stories are told
With consumate ease

Casting the mind back
To days before

Memories fast
Come to the fore

They gently persuade
And settle your mood

Bringing you back
To the present

Leaving your mind
Effervescent!
