In a room, by yourself
Looking at the books on the shelf.
Staring out, into the space,
Different looks overtake your face.
Silent room, no sound to hear,
Mind roaming, with no fear.
* * *
Outside, sitting in the shade
Of a tree: color of jade.
Birds flying, colors swirling,
Taking in noises, mind whirling.
So many things to hear and see,
So many things around the tree.
* * *
Floating, looking up towards the sun,
Diving down, back towards the fun.
Swimming around, swimming freely,
Mind concentrating, mind reeling.
Full of thoughts about this place,
Mind goes on a wild goose-chase.
* * *
All three, together right now,
Minds chomping on brain chow.
All their eyes are blinking,
All their minds are thinking.

ReplyDeleteThis poem is really fun to read. I like how everything rhymes, but all still makes sense. I think it's cool how you took a serious thought, and then turned it into a playful poem.

ReplyDeleteThat was super awesome! I love how it rhymed and I agree with Lian. It takes a serious topic and makes it more fun. Nice Job!!!
Ohh and you look super pretty today :)
Karen, Karen, Karen, you are a natural! This peom is amazing! I liked the rhyming words, it gave the poem more effect! Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone - this is an awesome poem! You can rhyme without losing any meaning, and that really adds to the poem. Keep writing - I want to read more!
ReplyDeleteI too, enjoyed this poem. I especially like the way you work in a more closed form this time, and stuck to the form that you layed out.
ReplyDeletethe theme is also very cool. Who hasn't spent time just thinking, just ruminating thoughts in peaceful place? This was a poem that spoke to me that way, and also had good form.
