Conversations

Standard

reciprocal conversation 

requires listening 

though combined 

with an openness

of mind 

excluding dictorialship 

of this is how

it is done

loses others

quickly and often

for without

those opportunities 

of question 

answer statement 

choices stifled 

thoughts close

unfortunate sad

conversations end

with apologies 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

The Deal

Standard

what’s available 

as options 

dwindles with

outcomes given

for agreements 

benefiting others

relies on knowing 

not everything

may be ideal

though neither 

completely un repairable 

prioritizing based

on serious events

and common sense 

when all involved 

are openly 

hearing suggestions 

finally a deal

will be made

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Until 

Standard

from all directions 

they came

some obvious 

others hidden

though coming out

in support 

they have

a target 

one person

one building 

one area

this is where

unknowingly it

became a trap

in which

no matter what

they just keep

closing in

until …

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Windmill 

Standard

at a standstill 

of the windmill 

the air stagnant 

like endless pavement 

ripples illusions 

from heat sensations 

grass wilted

for it’s been filtered 

the water far away

maintains no sway

nothing moves

as weather proves

it’s cyclindical

patterns seem logical 

though clouds

manifest out loud 

bringing needed

rain indeed

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Huh?

Standard

confusion is

nothing new

heightened extremely 

by changes

occurring rapidly 

though time

most often

does not alter 

affections felt

only experiences 

along with 

enhanced knowledge 

combined situations 

encountered today 

leads one

relying on wisdom 

to sort 

through confusion
