Paint Chip Poems

Haiku

As he lay dying 
Surrounded by his loved ones
Heaven sent for him 

A delicate rose 
Soft, pink and blowing in the wind
Picked up from the ground

Gazing from above
She was chasing the moonlight
An escape from life

Acrostic

Stolen from her
Thoughts, she turns around
Only to find
Nothing there but pure darkness
Earsplitting sounds can be heard in the background

Without thought she
Headed toward the sounds
Ignoring her inner
Thoughts to run the other way, when suddenly the darkness
Engulfed her

Free Verse

They were no longer moving fore and aft
As they stood there united 
They became a federated front 
No longer looking for the pursuit of others
But now for themselves 
As they stared into the deep blue ocean
They knew what they had to do 
Today is the day

Narrative

He walked into the garden 
Sitting down on the bench to take in all of the beauty
The wind blowing through the flowers 
He gently plucks one from the ground
Its an amaryllis
Beautiful with it's length and pink petals
He takes it with him
A gift for his beloved wife

  1. You've painted several lovely scenes here. I especially like the idea in the line "She was chasing the moonlight."
