Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein (Shadorma poem)
Gun and cash –
Sixteen and alone –
Sara Jane
Rispoli
Needs to find her parents and
Fight for her own life.

Poetry Month – Day 16
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (Acrostic)
Wallowing in the pain of
Awkward adolescence,
Learning to
Love others and to become
Free enough to
Love yourself,
Outcast, and casting out the
Wailing of an
Earlier you –
Redeemable with truth.
Poetry Month – Day 15 (Cinquain)
This one is a cinquain (5 lines, syllables 2-4-6-8-2).
Auggie,
With heart of gold,
Face-to-face with bullies –
Being himself for his own sake
And theirs.
Poetry Month – Day 13
For this new trilogy, I have written a Triolet…
Genius appliances and friends,
Treasures found in Tesla’s Attic,
Are they magic or mathematic?
Genius appliances, and friends,
Are drawn to the new kid Nick.
One who might know how it ends-
Genius appliances and friends-
Treasures found in Tesla’s attic.
Day 11 – Poetry Month (Limerick)
Med Head: My Knock-down, Drag-out, Drugged-up Battle with My Brain by James Patterson
There once was a young man named Cory,
Who had a triumphant story –
Tourette’s, OCD,
Mixed with anxiety-
Tough love (not the meds) brought him glory.
Poetry Month – Day 10
Today’s Poem is a Tanka. (Syllable pattern 5-7-5-7-7).
Coffee nut latte?
Maybe that makes Cam perfect
For Em (or does it?)
Espressology’s a hit.
People want love and lattes.
Poetry Month – Day 8
This is a Kyrielle poem in response to Sharon Draper’s most recent book Panic (which I began and completed today).
DIAMOND
Though people tell of the danger,
Say “Never talk to a stranger”,
It was in public – light of day,
So She went with him anyway.
He was professionally dressed,
His intentions kept full at bay,
He portrayed a family-man (blessed)
So She went with him anyway.
She didn’t have nary a clue
Of the nasty things he would do,
Or the way the acts he’d display,
So She went with him anyway.
He claimed a daughter and a wife,
His evil plan not on display.
She wasn’t concerned for her life,
So She went with him anyway.
