Writing (Acrostic) (April 7, 2018)

Witnessing my emergence

Releasing the inner darkness

Intuitive knowledge

Trusting myself

Infusing the dark with the light

New horizons opening

Growth.

Author's note:  Something, I needed to do, to stretch my writing muscles.

News (May1, 2017)

Negativity at its finest

Expression of cynicism

Washing of the truth

Spun dreams pure fiction.

Author's note: If one were to watch the local newscast, from Buffalo, New York, one would think that Buffalo is, a haven for criminal, with the lead story focusing on crimes committed, there. Whether, it be ABC, CBS, or NBC affiliates. I wonder, do the executive producers realize, how bad of an image, they portray Buffalo, New York to outsiders, like myself? I know, bad news sells more commercials, as people look on, at the damage/death that other people are experiencing, but they have to be, at some point, think, enough is enough, as the market is oversaturated, with these grim reports.

Refuge (April 12, 2017)

Release from reality

Escaping abuse/bullying

Finding new heroes

Unlocking the past

Growing as a person

Emitting light from darkness.

Author's note: It started with The Hardy Boys, and grew from there, my love affair with books and the printed word. Many, a night, were lost to a book, as I had to finish it, before, being able to turn off the lights and let sleep claim me. 

April (April 5, 2017)

All day showers

Puddles everywhere

Rivers flooding

Itching to sow seeds

Lilacs blossoming.

Author's note: Spring doesn't unofficially arrive, until the last snowstorm, in April, despite, what the calendar says, on my bedroom wall. One of the quirks, of living in a northern hemisphere country, like Canada. Then, if we're lucky, Spring lasts about 3 weeks, before the hot and humid weather of summer, overtakes my region of southern Ontario. Sadly, we must wait until mid-May, before it's safe to plant our gardens, due to the possibility of having overnight frost, killing young plants.

Betrayal (March 20, 2017)

Broken faith

Endless tears

Tortured love

Ruined dreams

Awash with guilt

Years lost

Anger internalized

Longing for death.

Author's note: A writing exercise, to see, if I write each line of verse, in this acrostic, with two words, and still make sense when read. 

Chaos (January 28, 2015)

Coming of order
Harmony with the universe
Attitude adjustment
Official motto of life
Satisfaction guaranteed.
