NATIONAL POETRY MONTH....Days 1&2

    I’ve decided to post the pieces I composed on Days 1 & 2.  

As always I write something about poetry month.  It’s a hard decision to decide whose poetry to read and where to begin. This year I decided to re-read two of my own works a day along with other poets I enjoy. 

Day Two’s piece does come from my personal life.  I know I wrote about this in another blog but decided to put it to verse.  At the moment I have purged certain people but there are times it’s hard not to run into them unfortunately but I step aside and walk away from them.  

Enjoy these pieces. 

Until tomorrow Day 4.....not sure what’ll come to my mind or what time it’ll pop into my brain.

Sonnets and more

Oh so many types to enjoy 

    What type of poetry to read first?  

Which poet to begin reading on the first day?

Decisions......decisions.....decisions

                  Day Two

                 “THE PURGE”

 “Disconnection from certain people can bless your life”

A saying I read on social media

Words to ring so true 

   In my life there have been and still are certain individuals 

    who make me feel worthless 

      bring negativity to me

 No matter how hard I try 

    no matter how I explain why 

I’m doing what I must do.....

 They do not hear what I’m saying 

   Harsh words....hurting words 

             spoken to me 

   I again try to explain my actions 

       My words fall on deaf ears 

     “SHUT UP I AM TALKING”

  Directed to me.....their voice displeasuring 

     Not listening to what I have to say 

     But....I must listen to them 

Deep breaths....deep breaths....

   Inhale.....hold few seconds.....exhale

      REPEAT again

I turn and walk away.....disconnected are they......forever.....

Purged from my life.....I am free

    I feel blessed
