Decide

Standard

they didn’t know
the results
they waited endlessly
for each second
that went by
seemed insignificant
for all they knew
it would come
it would happen
though there was
a moment
of thought
should I continue
efforts seem fruitless
towards finality
debating, dealing
with losses
and moving on
or sticking with
continual challenges
without success
one must decide

-Jennie Nawrocki

Settling In

Standard

settling in
finding the spot
of which to relax
from the days
busy activities
a person builds
a nest
things around them
they need
consistently while
some are brought out
less frequently
most stay
stationary during
moments of movement
though always
return to the place
that brings
a person solace

-Jennie Nawrocki

In Memorandom

Standard

every persons past
represents a being
that helped create
a community
this one you are
living within
today and everyday
maybe personal friendship
was not developed
though that person
was important
as we all are
for each soul
gives vitality
to our daily lives
remembering those
unknown and known
as they nurtured
who you are

-Jennie Nawrocki

Clowns

Standard

with a painted face
exaggerating facial features
dependent on the look
wanted to portray
whether sad happy
or outright hilarious
the intended message
is to lift peoples spirit
in the most
slapstick fake persona
way of the clown

-Jennie Nawrocki

Remote Control

Standard

filled with buttons
each loaded for action
labeled for
definitive direction
some rarely used
others pressed continuously
for invisible waves
from the panels within
are relayed and received
by machines located
away, though very
close proximity
to complete the action
extremely requested
by the individual who
placed their finger
pushing with force
the simple button
allowing for
thing it wanted

-Jennie Nawrocki

Wine?

Standard

why hasn’t water turned to wine?
nor do pigs fly
and certainly hell hasn’t frozen over
they say they are impossible
just dreams and nothing more
though they may not happen
people have drank wine like water
flown pigs in airplanes
as for the last
only in movies will we see
hell frozen over
as faster innovation
brings achievement
of possibilities
on all levels

-Jennie Nawrocki

Envelope

Standard

a simple envelope
white and plain
standard letter size
opened at the top
making the appearance
of a house
ready for inhabitants
of a slender form
folded to fit
could be several
or just one
soon to be covered
by the portion above
once the sticky
substance is released
ready to be pressed
against the other
folds meeting together
sealed and ready
for the other side
to have locations
of reception
waiting to open
all inside

-Jennie Nawrocki

Illusions

Standard

watching their
unending wants
blooming into
desperation of need
to be together
for the feelings
evolving within
they still
require support
confident in
their hold
for each moment
soon tears
the connection
allowing doubt
of actuality
creeping in
as if they
were ever
really valid
emotions to have

-Jennie Nawrocki

Exit

Standard

reverse extreme
unease of trajectory
from something
that doesn’t apply
into believing
the opposite
where as the focus
doesn’t always
explain nor match
the actual meaning
of what was
acted rather than
words and actions
of what
is experienced

-Jennie Nawrocki

Easy

Standard

easy is it easy
what does it mean
how easy something is
that depends
some will say
it is all a matter
of fluidity
how you are
given the opportunity
whether small or large
it is in the task
each item needed
to accomplish
how you are feeling
what are your skills
what obstacles
are encountered
how do we go about it
the ease of the activity
well that is based
on the individual
