Today (October 6, 2016) is National Poetry Day! …In the UK. But hey, I figured why let them have all the fun? 😉
I very rarely write poetry, and it’s always of the rhyming variety since I don’t understand anything else, and I haven’t written any in a long time. But I thought I’d just dump a few of my scribblings here for the day. Because.
Some of my longer pieces I sometimes think about maybe posting on their own or doing . . . something with. I don’t know. Whatever it is people do with poetry. >.>
So these are short ones which I’m kind of fond of. Just snatches, really, since they’re hardly long enough to call poems… *squirms because I’m not used to doing poetry*
Anyhow. Here you are. Poem bits. Scribbles, as Gummy would call them. 🙂

O you are like an adjective
I like you quite a lot
But others with advice to give
Condemn you on the spot
*
Sing the dawn
Soar and fly
Song of wings
Sung in sky
*
Hidden treasures of the sea
Hidden treasures, come to me
Far away on distant shore
Who can hear the ocean roar?
~ from The Rose and the Raven by Deborah O’Carroll (Sleeping Beauty retelling novella)
*
The wind it sweeps along in spring
An almost silent whispering
Like quiet words in secret dream
A far off leaf falls in a stream
*
Dark fate or bright fortune,
Wither do you go?
Down to the desert
Or up to the snow?
*
If you come home real late and you drive up and park
It will wait for you there, in the house in the dark

I’ve posted a few bits of poetry on my blog before. You can find them here:
Thoughts (a poem about this blog for when I started it)
Lost in a NaNoWriMo Mist (short piece on NaNo)
A Writer’s Allegiance (humorous poem about pencil, pen, & computer)

Thanks for reading! ^_^ (Also, this is my 200th post on this blog! *pulls out some leftover confetti from the blogoversary celebration last month and throws it*)
