Passing Me By (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #25)   Leave a comment

I feel the world passing me by
One day I fear I'll be alone
No matter how I beg and cry
I feel the world passing me by
There is no point in asking why
Or if my fears are overblown
I feel the world passing me by
One day I fear I'll be alone

Time Slips (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #24)   Leave a comment

My time slips away
Shifting and ethereal
Evading my grasp
Moments turn to memory
Cascading through my fingers

I Don’t Really Know (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #23)   Leave a comment

I don't really know
If I found the right question
Or if the world's laws
Are only just suggestions
But when somebody mentions
Any of the flaws
It comes to my attention
I don't really know

Earworm (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #22)   Leave a comment

This melody is digging 
So deeply in my brain
But I don't know the title
It's driving me insane

I feel so very restless
I must hear it again
Just once more catch this earworm
To free me from this pain

Tech Upgrade (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #21   Leave a comment

Nothing beats a tech upgrade 
Time for the shiny and new!
Financial mistakes were made
But still I adore the view
It was a little early
And the old one worked just fine
I loved my old phone dearly
But this new one is divine!

Remembrance (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #20)   Leave a comment

Our world is fractured glass
Reflecting our history
Fragmented and incomplete
Distorted by the light we choose
Collectively, we piece together
What has come before
So we can see in the mirror
Who we wish to be someday

Lazy Day (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #19)   Leave a comment

Just a nice, lazy day
Nothing I need to do
I can just close my eyes
And recuperate

Blinks (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #18)   Leave a comment

Time is a bunch of blinks
Converting into memories
Up to the day
The memories no longer save
And you blink one last time

Morning Tea (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #17)   Leave a comment

As water boils
I pause for a brief moment
To taste the silence

Scatter Brain (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #16)   Leave a comment

Scatter brain every day
To feed my thought chickens
Then I go grab
The lightbulbs they laid
To make some farm fresh ideas
Or maybe a nice scramble
