Reciprocal

Standard

around swirling around
we move
within boundaries
of a city
or simply
routines of activities
seeing familiar individuals
we communicate amongst
usually finding
it is all reciprocal
start there
stop here
maybe link others
within the moment
for the most part
expand your mind
widen your world
bring inclusiveness
in the form
of interactions building
accepting communities

-Jennie Nawrocki

Gestures

Standard

a gesture unbelievable
shocking really
to see beyond
complex mazes
obstacles really
teetering from
easy to hard
with walls
invisible to apparent
preventing knowledge
participation of events
for even these gestures
based upon empathy
seem hidden though wanted
regardless how small
or extremely bold
once discovered
they grow within them
the knowledge
that someone cares
which allows for
enormous amount
of compassion
to build within
not only for that
individual also
for all others
as wall of caution
protecting emotions
is brought down

-Jennie Nawrocki

A Tourist

Standard

it doesn’t matter
where you go
or what occurs
there are people
traveling to and fro
away from homes
a short trip
giving relaxation
from constant stress
of daily activities
a break in schedules
to visit
another place
somewhere known
or unknown
the goal is the same
the site looks
interesting, historical
important to see
keep an itinerary
of events
throughout the day
for some to see are
based on themes of
availability, location
continuously asking
questions answered
in a pamphlets glory
revealing suggestions
by the end you have
gotten to know
you are no longer
a tourist

-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

Achievement

Standard

things happen for
the world always
decides there is
something necessary
to help your day
your qualms and
talents are
brought forward
challenged always
providing chances
improving yourself
for one never stops
achieving where
they belong
in this world

-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
