Monday Poetry: Moment

Moments

Moment

a flash of time

Moment

a secont

or

More

Moment

The thing you

Can not look

Back

Moment

You were

There now

Gone

Moment

So my inspiration is just what a moment is. Is it a second or more? It is something you can not take back. Hope you enjoy today's poem. See you Wednesday for flash fiction.

Happy Reading!

Poetry 101 Rehab: FORWARD

Forward

Since you

have passed

I have been

going forward

Forward with my life

with publishing,

graduation and

my new job

My life has

become better

Though

My heart has

a empty hole

since you

passed

But I am moving

FORWARD!

And can not

wait to see

you again!!

This is the poetry 101 rehab theme of the week. So I took the thought of moving forward and the idea of the passing of my grandma (nanna) and put it together. Hope you enjoy! If you want to join in the fun and write poems on Monday here is a link to the website.

Lastly, COPY these rules in the post.

So here are the 11 questions asked by me to answer:

1/ Who or what inspired you to write books/blogs ?

Well I guess I did. My main dream is to become a best selling author. So when i found out that I could self-publish I had to do it so that is when My poetry through the years book was born. I also got the creativeness from my Grandma (nanna) who is the one who past a way a year a go this last Monday August 10th.  I created a special post for her called A Year After... If you want to check it out. Also my Great Aunt who is also a writer inspired me that I could write just like her. She has a blog too. Safe and Sound Blog

2/ If there is one event in world history you could change, what would it be ?

9/11 it was a tragic day for all of us in America. I was only in pre-school at the time and can only imagine the loss.

3/ Staying with world history, what is the time period you would most like to live in ?

The Renaissance era. My parents took me to the Bristol Renaissance Faire almost every year. I really enjoy it. I love the jousting show they do. The era just interest me in some way. It sparks a light in my eyes I do not understand why. I feel I connect to that era some how,

4/ If there is one sport you can excel at above all others, which would it be ?

archery, I am hoping to learn soon and I think it would be fun.

5/ If you could invite one of the worlds most famous philosophers to dine with you, who would it be ?

I have no idea I never learned about famous philosophers to really answer this question. If it was just a famous person I would say Matt Smith he is a British actor who played the eleventh doctor in Doctor who ( A British TV show that is my favorite and he is my favorite doctor from the show.)

6/ If you were a character in George Orwell's 'ANIMAL FARM' which one would you be ?

To be perfectly honest I never read the book so I have no idea.

Harry Potter I grew up seeing all the movies and read every single book. I enjoy the last two Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2.

My favorite poem I wrote is my first Cubbie Bear poem it is in My Poetry Through the Year. It was the first poem I wrote sophomore year of high school and I believe one of my best.

10/ what makes you a happy person ?

I really do not know I just enjoy life and do what I love. I usually always smile. I am just a naturally happy person.

“Where did they go?” I asked Hope, my best friend, as I saw my little sis and her so called "boyfriend" running towards the giant rock. The rock was red and seemed to have a tunnel system that seemed to be two stories high.

"I have no idea." She said shrugging and shaking her head.

"Maybe we should silently follow them to find out?" I asked nodding my head in their general direction. Hope just shrugged and followed my lead. So we tip toed through the field. Staying far enough that they would not notice us. Then they went into one of the cave entrance. Hope and I waited a minute before following in after them. That is when I heard giggling. My heart was racing. Then I stopped suddenly. My arm raised to stop Hope. My eyes widen in shock.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO MY SISTER!"

A Year After.....

Today marks the one year anniversary of my Nanna ( Grandma) passing. She was the best Nanna a grandchild could have. She would play her guitar and sing songs as I would dance when I was young. She was a fun Nanna. When she had to go live in a nursing home. We would visit on Sundays after going to church and having lunch. We would play games, watch the Chicago Cubs and just enjoy each other. We would even make extra visits for the fourth of July or during the Christmas holiday the nursing home would have people visit we would surprise her by showing up for it. Then, when my Aunt decided that it would be best for her to move closer to her I was devastated. So by that point we had to drive four and a half hours to see her. We would go every Thanksgiving, a few Easters and some birthdays.

A year a go today was when she passed quietly. She had to wait for her last Cubs win before she left and about one hour after Rizzo brought in the winning run and she heard her last GO CUBS GO! She was a huge cubs fan and wanted to see them win the world series. Though she did not get her world series win, I hope this is the year where I may go and enjoy the win in her place.

With her leaving I changed a lot. Over the school year I explored new options and enjoyed every minute of it. It. I published my first book My Poetry Through the Years, which the last poem is dedicated to her. I know she would of been very proud of me for publishing not just the poetry book but also the collection of short stories. She is proud of me for graduating too. But, overall she is proud that I have pressed forward and not back since she left. She did hear some of the poems in my book before passing. Mostly all the cubs poems. She enjoyed them. So here is a poem to reflect on this last year and how much I miss my Nanna.

Love never dies

You were there for me
At time of need
At time of happiness
At time of love

You were there for me
When I was young
Dancing to your music
We had our own saying
" see you later alligator
In a while crocodile. "
We had our own song
"You are my sunshine"
We had our fun
But now you are gone
But I live on in memory
Of you
My love will never die
For you
All I have done
This last year
Is for you
I know
You are proud
And you know what the
Future will bring
Go Cubs!
I Love you Nanna!

Monday Poetry

Partitions

We are divided

With different beliefs

We are broken up

Into different

Groups

With

White, black, indian,

Gay, straight

Married or single.

Men or woman

Partitions are part

Of our lives

But why

Do we have

To be separated

Why not be

One

Let us stop

The partition

In our life

And

Become

One!

I had to look up this word "Partition" to understand what to write about. I believe that I understand and hope you enjoy this poem. I can not wait for next weeks theme!
