Befuddled

Standard

this, that
and the other
combined in
chaos around
befuddles the mind
into an arrangement
of piles
unable to sort
clean and clear
as they overlap
entangled webs
wanted for versatility
in functionality
for exposure
amongst a heavy
rotation is
supports us all

-Jennie Nawrocki

The Seed

Standard

a simple seed
found inside fruit
hard in exterior
protecting vital
elements of the
next generation inside
they are carefully
placed in a
particular sequence
remembering depth
soil nutrition
and the amounts
of sun and rain
will arrive
to have them
slowly sprout
becoming plants
bearing the same fruit
ready for harvest
after caring
ever so gently
for one small seed

-Jennie Nawrocki

A Rainy Night

Standard

the street
glistens from rain
as drops
shine in the light
golden tones
illuminate night
consuming day
separated in
exact distances
one after another
the stillness
fostering vision
a way forward
with your back
to the past
each step
edged as it were
there is
only one
merry way

-Jennie Nawrocki

True Honesty

Standard

something heard
several times
sticking with you
even when
its strength
of character
is shattered
amongst backdrops
of supported
phrases that
further say
this is the meaning
there is never
another thought
to continue
that builds
true honesty

-Jennie Nawrocki

Mystery

Standard

it’s a mystery
there stood
a man behind
soft facial features
scruffy with a long
and dense beard
also a woman
with dark gold
straight hair
cold was the air
what time is it
silently waiting
people add to lines
only a few words
what time is it
when the coat disappeared
and all that was left
were minutes
frozen forever
revealing bare arms
showing no sign
that maybe
something else
unknown, unseen
could solve the mystery
though most of
all said was
what time is it

-Jennie Nawrocki

Studying

Standard

shan’t relate to events history
for now is different
people multiplied
across the world
needing help
for events to come
unlike anything in the past
though in reality
break it down
each conflict
is similar to today
information sought
to achieve an ending
how is it
I learn by examination
intent determines
strength of outcome
that remains to be studied

-Jennie Nawrocki

The Unknown

Standard

finding my way
around the unknown
that exploration
in a land so free
possibilities become
an exciting discovery
into a world
personable though
able challenges
bring laughter
unsaturated talent
performing well
building reputations
from positive reviews
amongst completely thorough
daily performances
providing stability
unimaginable in thought

-Jennie Nawrocki

Mentoring

Standard

each person
has at least one
regardless of
their social standing
it could be
a teacher, family member
friend, co-worker
some person
that you
regarded for
their abilities
that everybody has
including looks
talent, and personality
though for
some reason
without knowing
in your mind
they became
your mentor
though ignorance
narrows the field
of individuals
who impact
your interactions
shaping them
into multiple
successes everyday

-Jennie Nawrocki

Significance

Standard

when the world
brings ideas
making the day
more easy
for each should
be remembered
for its intention
the goal of achievement
whether that
project values
one or one hundred
each minute
of your time
needs your attention
all that effort
you are able to give
for without knowing
the insignificance
in your opinion
could be
everything to
somebody else

-Jennie Nawrocki

College

Standard

exploring avenues
as the collegiate
gates open
discovering that
field of study
leading to a career
some may have wanted
others found intriguing
through difficult exams
hours of lectures
all-nighters of study
while gaining
independence of self
for friends found
help you
hone and develop
personality traits
through events
sad with disappointment
mad with betrayal
hilarious with laughter
enduring closely all the
happy memories
forming the
individual you are
as an adult
after those collegiate
gates close

-Jennie Nawrocki
