out comes fantastical
assuredly of commitment
towards something
followed by masses
it’s not a personal thing
for everyone reads
sees the same information
it is all public
everything released
with a specific purpose
for that which is
private is never revealed
as a person in the spotlight
enjoys the ability
to live like themselves
out of the fanatical realm
-Jennie Nawrocki
hand me a day
i will remember
for its goodness
and excitement
a day
where people
were friendly
all opportunities
provided and benefited
myself and others
food was scrumptious
the body energized
and working well
only when
slumber awaits
realization sets in
you have no complaints
for it was
an excellent day
-Jennie Nawrocki
it takes over
coming from
a place unknown
possibly from
something said
watched events
or thoughts
recurring memories
tantalizing senses
creating happiness
billowing into
a chuckle, a giggle
or complete
eruption of laughter
-Jennie Nawrocki
short rounded curves
complied from
ridges along
the base hinged
so tightly shut
when protecting
the contents within
only to open slightly
while gliding
along the bottom surface
catching bits of
nutrients needed
closing as
enemies approach
stealthy towards
only to burrow
deep in the sand
as a way to cover
its entire self
after time
along the outside
it separates to
allow the look out within
to peruse the surroundings
that dangers past
was the match
needed to bring it out
of its shell
revealing something it
already possessed
-Jennie Nawrocki
the face of it
holds numbers
grabbing edges
circling around
only to repeat
twice a day
for the hands
indicate exactly
where the point
in the continuum
are aligning
suns and moons
in the sky
orbiting earth
regularly for
us to plan
our activities
as the clock
ticks slowly
-Jennie Nawrocki
stepping into the
planks shaped
into an open
concave formation
broad in the back
and rounded
from the center
towards the front
able to divide
the water
along the journey
while within
its contours
left without
a cover
a few boards are
placed above the
floor used for seating
as the arms
grab hold of ores
moving in conjunction
these rhythmic
motions match
a wave rippling by
rowing all aboard
to a location
that fulfills
ones needs
at this moment
-Jennie Nawrocki
there wasn’t a twitch
as the face lit up
breaking the sadness
of the day
slowly the body
perks up
feeling better
with each moment
each word
each reciprocal
conversational cue
lifts somber emotions
brining happiness
to a situation
otherwise considered
fruitile to try
though simple
gestures detonating
kindness and
good humor
are deemed
most thankful
mini moments
-Jennie Nawrocki
so many people
rushing active and varied
whether you have somewhere
or nowhere to go
the city a place where the American dream awaits
lives to build
stories to construct
commerce to buy
festivities to attend
food to consume
it all happens in
the city a place where the American dream awaits
then you see it
all the culture, the landmarks
clean and dirty
residents themselves
define their city
a place where
their american dreams come alive
-Jennie Nawrocki
night rolls along
the sky fades blue
bringing amber and
rosie hues
darkening further
to black with
bright stars surrounded
with purple rings
beam with radiance
next to
the ever changing
moons formation and glow
-Jennie Nawrocki
leap into
the sound calling
it is not doors
clasping frames
or footsteps on gravel
giving the listener
a sense of direction
it is not laughter
of conversation
or external music
bringing melodic
enjoyment
it is not cheering
of a crowd
during special occasions
or sewn strips
of creaking houses
it is our ability
to understand
our conscious
-Jennie Nawrocki
