Way Back When
Simplicity and bliss, ease and peace
Way back when, when there wasn’t much before,
Before I knew I was a pawn, a piece
Of a puzzle, broken and forlorn. Continue reading “Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – JG”

Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – SD
“Fun in the Sun”
Dawn’s yellow light floods into the room.
Early morning sparrows are greeting the day.
Glistening grass still covered in dew,
Jumping out of bed to go out and play. Continue reading “Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – SD”

Winter – Rock Song – JG
Winter’s Dawn

When the sun begins to rise and the snow begins to thaw;

Feel as though they freeze the path they tumble upon. Continue reading “Winter – Rock Song – JG”

Lawyer, Lemur, Hershey Park – Galumphing – JG

Can’t see the trees in the forest,
Can’t see the eyes amongst the underbrush,
Can’t see what lies before us,
Can’t see what lies have been told for us,
Too focused on the whole;
I neglected the parts.
This is where I fall apart.
It’s all ending, but there was never a start…

Cave, Cello, God – Galumphing – SD
“Hollow Cavern”
Crouched in the corner of his hollow cavern
Splashing on the walls muddled light from a lantern
Longing at rainwater collecting in a cistern
Wishing he was downing a pint in the tavern Continue reading “Cave, Cello, God – Galumphing – SD”
