When is the next?

Standard

When will I see my friends

When will I see my family

When is our next trip

When is the next barbecue

When is the next game

When is the next laugh

When is the next I love you

When is the next conversation

When is the next meal together

When is the next movie or show binge night

When is the next fireside chat

When is the next dress up occasion

When are you going to make

When is next car karaoke

When is the next

Is never goodbye.

-Jennie Nawrocki

We Aren’t Woke We Included

Standard

They say it is protection

They separate

They say it is immoral

They block

They say we will tell you what you need to know

They ban

They say it is abomination

A rainbow?

They say it isn’t in the Bible

Neither is the Mona Lisa

Or pants and sneakers

Having pets?

But yet we changed

With Science

We included

Why can’t they?

-Jennie Nawrocki

Memorial Day

Standard

You gave your life

You didn’t even know me

Fought as a loyalist

In a land without our freedoms

Endured horrors

We only see in movies

Ate who knows what

Had to keep top secret information

From family missing

You tremendously

And now you are

Here with a cross

Denoting how you

Went to heaven

We remember you

We will always remember you

-Jennie Nawrocki

Better

Standard

Many of you know

Or maybe you don’t

But dealing

With anger and depression

And keeping it repressed

So that when I see you

I’m not that girl

Spoiling the mood

However the hurt is there

Difficult to heal

For the confusion

Of where, whom, how

Makes it hard

To solve the problem

The desire to get better

Is strong

Appropriately placing

My emotions

In the right place

The right time

Right manner

Support me on my search

My way to get better

As willingly will do the same for you

-Jennie Nawrocki

Fashion

Standard

The style

The look

The vibe

One time or

Many times worn

Though when

The pose is seen

Your eyes fixed

In wonderment

How

For only a few

Can achieve

Such a look

As others say

Pull it off

Your stance

The postulating

Is remembered forever

Just like a green dress

Binded with one pin

-Jennie Nawrocki

Earth must be saved

Standard

The world is swirling around

Fires burning

Governments in turmoil

Tornados raging

Flooding frequently

Polar ice disappearing

Recycling sometimes?

Trees stumped

Plastic digesting fish

Shooting was game

Now it is just updated

With the latest

What do we do?

What do we do?

Act certainly act

Clean your room,

House, neighborhood

City, county, country

Continent and planet

You help yourself

By helping others

We are in this together

Earth must be saved.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Grateful

Standard

Yesterday I could have jus wrote Happy Easter but today I will write something more.

I haven’t seen my family in ages visiting them for the first time in years and yesterday greeting was so welcoming. I thank them for that and being a family again after so many years of being separated and misunderstood.

Completely grateful.
