unseen pristine clothing
a fragrant smell applied
tighten a good look
hiding compounding nerves
not wanting expectations
spoiling outcomes
leaves preparing for everything
though nothing is planned
guides the way
learning to know each other
-Jennie Nawrocki
sitting, wondering
so many questions
a reasoning to be sought
the answer never transparent
where did it begin
does it ever end
sitting, wondering
-Jennie Nawrocki
sleek and slender
billowy but tailored
tuled though refined
a frame or empire
patterned with color
though blended natural
scalloped, straight or gathered
some lace the edges as trim
lengths vary style
forming the image
complimenting the body
with such a delicate dress
-Jennie Nawrocki
the greatest feeling
is not easy
giving so much
events happen
challenging its strength
ruining bodies
fail at understanding
essential functioning
ingrained in each of us
enabling people to live
amongst daily mishaps
it’s the fairy dust for peter pan’s flight
Mother Theresa’s endless energy
Rosa Parks saying no
Dali Lama’s ultimate compassion
or simply a grandpa being around
written about for centuries
doted upon, wished for
searched among the far wilds
love is everywhere
shared in minuscule ways
or shown for all to see
search and rescues don’t aide
a waste of effort and resources
the only place to view
closed from the knives of hatred
radiating inside to out
connecting brain synapses
for ultimate functioning
the greatest feeling
love is everywhere
-Jennie Nawrocki
twigs naked
skeletons of leaves
piled on the ground
from weather so dreary
a bud appears
opening up slowly
bringing color
amongst a world of dark
though delicate in texture
strong are the petals
foreshadowing warmth
for days to come
-Jennie Nawrocki
make shift shelter
of cloth and thread
big enough to wrap around
soft enough to comfort
protection from the cold
a barrier from the hard
cradle for all transport
a bit of safety brought
among the unknown
letting go of its hold
only builds the soul
-Jennie Nawrocki
dat, dop, dap
the umbrella sings
plop, plip, plap
the puddles speak
swoosh. splash, swish
water screams through wheels
wrow, weer, whow
stream flowing gutter stories
eep, beep, seep
birds bellow its silence
-Jennie Nawrocki
invisible the ring
separated by space
never by mind
supports of individuality
strengthens the couple
living day to day
-Jennie Nawrocki
drowns the good
tears apart
beats a person down
definitely not in your favor
feelings of lost
hammers drive pain
everything gone
drowns the bad
mends bridges
builds you up
unsolicited goodness occurs
spreading true love
happiness repeats
having everything in need
-Jennie Nawrocki
extremist we were
set in our ways
possibilities of changing
an idea, thoughts unexpressed
emboldened sparks within
shattering barriers
of colors so rigid
meeting in the middle
together building
acceptance towards actions
free of deception
along with malformed humor
plain goodness created
from us listening and learning
-Jennie Nawrocki
