A poem:I write once more With the freedom I yearned When bound by the shackles Of narrow mindedness, Insular no more, I inculcate ideas new, Improvising on the old, Conjuring thoughts anew. I write once more With the creativity I craved When imprisoned within mind Of conservation grave. My poetic spirit rejuvenated, Welds verses with …

The Wanderer
My next sonnet:The sky is a' moonless and dark tonight,I find the night a' blissful and quiet...So serene, the gloom that swallows all light,I'm haunted not by sorrow or regret...Meandering alone, p'raps doomed to roamIn dismal streets, that offer no solaceTo a boy deprived of the warmth of home,Wandering aimlessly from place to place.My mind …
Dunk
My next quadrille:The sound of basketballCrashing into the hoop,When dunked with ferocityIs like no other...To celebrate, or notIs secondary. To hearThat thunderous crashIs every basketballer's dream.The sound of ball bargingThrough hoop, is musicI'd hearken all day. -The Forgers of FantasyThis has been penned for the DVerse quadrille prompt hosted by Merril D Smith, in which …
Freeverse Beckons
My next freeverse poem:I can't find the right words, Freeverse beckons... Beckons with open arms, I cannot resist no more, Having struggled for long, Trying to weld verses with what I have, Tools of brilliance faded, A forger who once molded magic Now a failure, a feckless fool...My workshop forged fantasies, Masterpieces worthy of applause, …
Words of Magic
I'm back with my next poem folks! It's been a while since I penned a poem for a prompt...anyways, here you go!I once stumbled upon wordsBoth simple and splendid,That conveyed messages in waysWhole verses never did. Yet when I pick them up now,They're magical no more,Weld not verses with magnificenceThey boasted of before.I cannot,though,discard them,Words …
Dreams
My next poem:Lost within my mind,I float atop an oceanOf fantastic so fantastic,The masterpieces of imaginationOf irreplicable nature,I'm entangled in dreamsSo unrealistically bewitching,I'm never set free..Not that I ever desiredEscaping the enigmasOf creating infinite thoughts,Of dreaming steadfast.I ne'er dared envisageOr predict a single dream,Allowed each to unfold,And let a weary mind weave.As the day dusks …
Rain
After a loooong time, I am back with a poem! Although it has been like 5 days since I last published something, it's seemed like ages to me!The rain beckons meTo dance to its tunes,Embrace its cold embrace,Watch gloomy skies loom,The rain beckons meTo shed some sweat,Play basketball with friendsNot afraid of getting wet.The rain …
My Grandmother
It's been a busy two weeks for sure! 11th grade has begun(already??) and work has been piling up on the double. I seriously don't think I'll be writing poems a lot for the next two years,but I'll take my chances! That being said, here's my next piece of poetry:My next set of alouettes:Memories unfold As …
Forever Waiting
My next set of tankas, written together as an ekphrastic poem.Standing by the shoresOf the infinite ocean,Looking day past dayBeyond the boundless skyline,Searching for a yellow ship....Both woman and dogWaiting endlessly,unmovedFor that yellow ship;Hoping at horizon's end'Twould dawn,a heartening sight.Unwilling to budgeUntil greeted by family,Returning from war,Warrior and his war dog,With unwavering friendship.Year after year …
