Community

Standard

envision beyond the present
guiding each other along the way
individual or combined
reward all progress
amongst maintaining
past accomplishments
a step back is not defeat
only a wider view of everything
never forget your focus
though allow for insight
different ideas chosen well
enhance your abilities
to gather all you need
in your journey together

-Jennie Nawrocki

Mr. Right

Standard

tall, dark and handsome
well respected
Mr. Right
mysterious, strong
ultimate protector
Mr. Right
sweeps you off your feet
works hard as the bread winner
Mr. Right
impeccably smooth though tough
perfect in every way
Mr. Right?
not so much

-Jennie Nawrocki

Chair

Standard

soft and comfortable
thinning fabric
molded into position
relaxed in its surroundings
extended when needed
a place to eat or sleep
mostly though
between its sides
all entertainment
is viewed or made
waiting for you to sit
it remains a chair

-Jennie Nawrocki

Science

Standard

oscillating hypothesis
through experimentation
by eliminating variables
develops results
based on a process
of dissected assumed facts
keeping fiction
separate from
proven truths
turning long-term trials
into published works
enabling others to develop
oscillating hypothesis

-Jennie Nawrocki

What’s on?

Standard

boring tales
need something
different and new
change the channel
shows to view
unbelievable plots
never repeated
intriguing images
created from air
becoming shocked
by the possibilities
senses on alert
within a snap
revealing theme
once again
we have work
watching, waiting for
happy endings to unfold

-Jennie Nawrocki

Bubbles

Standard

dipped in the bottle
long and slender the handle
round and open on the end
pulled out with a stroke
waiting for that gentle breath
expanding a single membrane
arching into form
rounded it floats
gliding through the breeze
until the pressure builds
finally exploding in release

-Jennie Nawrocki

Friends

Standard

friends guide us
they are our shelter
from mistakes
assistants in on going struggles
every year bringing
honest laughter
relieving the pressure
whether intense
or not there at all
being amongst activities
no other would endure
as a way to say
anything you need
my support is given
unconditionally for our
relationship is true

-Jennie Nawrocki

Answers

Standard

starting with a question
results in diverse responses
clear, direct
completely assured
round the subject
miss the mark
fools chase
tired from the beginning
sandwiched for comfort
sorrowful pleasure
difficult to understand
intention fuzzy
don’t know
brings thoughts
mind gathers all information
creating true solutions

-Jennie Nawrocki

 

Opposites

Standard

conservative, liberal
gruff, chipper
stupid, smart
ugly, pretty
polarized identifiers
misrepresent the populace
normalcy is the center
where teeter totters
level the ends
making nothing weighted
except common sense
filled completely
by our mutual understanding
that we aren’t all
huge extremist
wanting to help
others through
daily activities
of compassion
accepting all

-Jennie Nawrocki
