When Everything 

Standard

loss for words

when everything 

piled daily 

retains responses

not as they 

should be

though completely 

well intended

to begin with

most likely 

huge mistakes

impossible to change

the consequences 

to follow 

even with 

sorrow and remorse

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Simply Happy 

Standard

the cover

is of

their feelings 

how to change

mend such brokenness 

emotionally high

from misunderstandings

struggling with

things thought

trying to hold

onto differences

between every

wants, wishes

reality,  needs

of all involved 

how to see again

many more people 

are simply happy

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Justices

Standard

nine of them 

appointed for

their living days

reside over cases

deemed controversial 

concerning several 

citizens rights

debated over

news and 

dinner tables

even when congress 

votes are stagnant 

for the issues

are for some

emotional scars

others exclaim

as moral and

ethical standards 

all determined 

by their

supreme votes

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Under Control?

Standard

knowing tomorrow 

depends on

the success 

of the day

from what was

highly coordinated 

from every person 

each item

have or held

is decided 

just as conversations 

flow together 

thought about

as people 

walk their paths

nothing left

to chance

for it is all

under control 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Next Few Moments 

Standard

anticipation grows

as the event begins 

for everything 

during these

few minutes 

is expoundingly

grander than

would be

for all the options 

filtered and brought forth

are carefully thought 

to give scenarios 

for best choices

within the next

few moments
