Lost and Found

Standard

searching everywhere
things are just a little off
missing trails of crumbs
leaving vapors
sensed unknowingly
we remain
through retracing paths
becoming clearer than before
finding items
ends searches forever more

-Jennie Nawrocki

Friends

Standard

friends guide us
they are our shelter
from mistakes
assistants in on going struggles
every year bringing
honest laughter
relieving the pressure
whether intense
or not there at all
being amongst activities
no other would endure
as a way to say
anything you need
my support is given
unconditionally for our
relationship is true

-Jennie Nawrocki

Answers

Standard

starting with a question
results in diverse responses
clear, direct
completely assured
round the subject
miss the mark
fools chase
tired from the beginning
sandwiched for comfort
sorrowful pleasure
difficult to understand
intention fuzzy
don’t know
brings thoughts
mind gathers all information
creating true solutions

-Jennie Nawrocki

 

Opposites

Standard

conservative, liberal
gruff, chipper
stupid, smart
ugly, pretty
polarized identifiers
misrepresent the populace
normalcy is the center
where teeter totters
level the ends
making nothing weighted
except common sense
filled completely
by our mutual understanding
that we aren’t all
huge extremist
wanting to help
others through
daily activities
of compassion
accepting all

-Jennie Nawrocki

Magnets

Standard

smooth charcoal
to a shiny mirror
invisible abilities
weak among
other materials
except that from
which it is made
never underestimate
its strength in bonds
when repelled
unable to remain close
attached well
it seeks its own
collecting things
along the way

-Jennie Nawrocki

Important

Standard

agree on humanity
community of all
organisms creating
livable environments
sharing their responsibilities
helping others
ease of struggle
releasing burdens
essentially making
a world where
everything is important

-Jennie Nawrocki

Close

Standard

settled un-seemingly
they run into the distance
gathering all they can
striving for something
they already have
it is just the details
coming to actuality
have us all worried
nothing to hide
in our exchange of words
bringing us closer together

-Jennie Nawrocki
