Input Turning Output

Standard

read this article
for its very important
listen here
there is something
feel the music
guide the mood
peruse the newspaper
giving the latest
gander at the comments
reviews based on perception
look at the image
what is there?
see the website
loaded with information
watch the show
meant to entertain
absorb the book
taking you within worlds
each piece builds conversation
to share appreciation

-Jennie Nawrocki

Dress

Standard

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

Love is everywhere

Standard

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

Storm

Standard

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

Luck

Standard

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

City Block

Standard

along the way she gathered thoughts
gazing at the buildings disappearing behind her
store fronts filled with hopeful commerce
displayed eloquently glimmering new
people determined to find quality
inspect products for defects
others sit surrounded by food and drink
as the moment allows for relaxation
creatures await wide-eyed for morsels left
while hopefully dodging from being viewed
cars at different speeds roll down the guided pavement
interacting with walkers just like me
it is just a block from here to there
though history developed in this one square
