it is thought

or an actual debate

though really

completely different

concepts though

many people

fight over

probable discrepancies

or who is right

between several

long standing

perceptions, philosophies

or just personal beliefs

whether or not

the chicken or the egg is first

coke vs pepsi

my city or your city

baths or showers

fabric softener or not

two or one sugars

either way

whatever you believe

different as we maybe

you are still loved

avenue, street, road

boulevard, lane

are all paths we travel

paved or non they

take us where we

would like to be

go anywhere that it leads

for the tributaries

connect cities

countries, communities

though most of

our neighborhoods

whether you know

the length of your trip

or wanting to travel

find the road

that is right for you

-Jennie Nawrocki

cold air

transforms trees

whose leaves

most have

freely released

from branches

several feet

above ground

soon completely

covered and swept

for the snowflakes

that descend

from the sky

blanket everything

beneath until

it becomes

a white winter

-Jennie Nawrocki

still around

small and

varying circular

shapes orbiting

a top

slendering to

one thing

spinning on

the smooth

surface beneath

keeping still

-Jennie Nawrocki

there is nothing

that fulfills

a community

than that of

several people

different in

so many ways

as their varied

backgrounds and

friendly personalities

gather in

a central place

to intermix

or relax

in a common area

they all make

the day, the space

more enjoyable

than ever before

-Jennie Nawrocki

as the bird flies
it glides
with ease along
invisible molecules
for them
gravity is
an obstacle
in which they
flap their wings
to overcome
though as much
as the sky
enables their flights
they soon find
a need to relax
their hollow bones
on any surface
around that
supports their
talons wide spread

-Jennie Nawrocki

hearing the crowd
murmur their conversations
the room is filled
discussing events
past, present, and future
combined they
create an environment
strong cohesiveness
never before
connected with others
as they are
at this moment
whether clapping
or expressing
all emotion
together they have
shared experiences
through common activities
in which
are enjoyed
as only that
crowd was able

-Jennie Nawrocki

it starts
with a ball
spherical and
geometrically decorated
then the opponents
arrive equal
in numbers
each side prepared
practiced with
precision they
bring well
seasoned players
to have more time
when the ball
starts to
roll and fly
from person
to person
bouncing from
limbs chest and head
positions of the body
morph as each
pass is made
moving from one
side to the next
its tossed until
finally it reaches
the heavily
guarded net
once it does
receiving points
depending on
colors worn
the team
soon wins

-Jennie Nawrocki

it rests there
as an unexpected visitor
though you wonder
if they really are
this creature
with six legs
small though
seemingly insignificant
carrying defensive
mechanisms from hunters
we sat down
to enjoy the day
in the park
so grand
and are annoyed
at the sight
of this tiny insect
wondering who is
this unexpected visitor

-Jennie Nawrocki
