A Novice

Standard

slow deciding
moving ahead
taking skills
further than imagined
developing them
little by little
until ready
actual material
created from thoughts
continuously turning
into words,
sentences, stanzas,
paragraphs, stories
and more, a lot more
with each phoneme
appreciation mentioned
exponentially from
a novice to a writer

-Jennie Nawrocki

Words

Standard

words mixed and mashed
for what counted long ago
makes no sense today
ever changing scenarios
morph pictures unreadable
though the people remain
speaking in conversations
relating events of the day
mixing and mashing words
until something is understood

-Jennie Nawrocki

can……..only

Standard

can a rose by any other name smell as sweet
     only if it is a different flower
can the universe have aliens
     only if you believe
can a writer be impersonal in their writing
     only through creativity
can simple objects become sexual
     only when the right words are used
can impossible occur
     only in miracles
can people go crazy looking for something
     only if they are chasing rabbit trails
can the world stop spinning
     only in dreams

-Jennie Nawrocki

Pizza

Standard

given in
sumptuous the taste
enlivening sensory
beads of the tongue
one bite
was all I needed
of this triangular
masterpiece swarming
with cheese, tomato sauce
on top of succulent dough
satisfying every wish made
hunger provides
within that single slice
of hot pizza

-Jennie Nawrocki

Daisies

Standard

a rose so delicate
fragile are its petals
guarded with daggers
adding protection
to quickly wilting blooms
from outside elements
specific to weather
conditions their growth
attracting aphids
and lady bugs of all sorts
extremely precious
their care and maintenance
discard with pleasure
another flower
of distinction replaces
a roses beauty

daisies

common maybe to most
though exceptionally handsome
they grow with ease
amongst woods and prairies
no thorns to hurt
or dying in certain climates
versatile towards everyone
welcoming with its
simplicity abounds
toning the mood
complimenting many
in any arrangement
its open bloom
brings wonders
tantalizing others
teaming for more daisies

-Jennie Nawrocki

Fragrant

Standard

a rose in its fragrant aroma
fills the room with garden delights
covering the ink spread
amongst pages along side
mugs dried of drink
or cups of steaming beverages
adding to the enclosed air
upholstered chairs never washed
coats drying outside moisture
people secreting personal perfumes
as computer fans move electric dust
never overpowering
a rose in its fragrant aroma

-Jennie Nawrocki

Shattered

Standard

on impact glass resists
at the center force forms
expanding reverberations
weakening its strength
allowing a break
puncturing its stable
fused molecules
separating matter
into pieces
barely able to hold
their original form
showing cracks
blurring views
clear before
looking around
reveals a blanket
of broken shards
glass, left on the ground

-Jennie Nawrocki

Idea

Standard

whether possibly or never
jarred from its inception
it widely expands
receiving new information
revealing through assembling
everything doesn’t relate
using abilities of intelligence
allows for connections made
supporting each other as
formulating cohesive
ideas of thought
guide us through
actions of this day

-Jennie Nawrocki
