Poems about miscellaneous things

Searching

As I walk down the lonely road
searching for what I do not know
I feel like I'm walking in a dream...
Things are not what they seem
Somewhere, deep within,
I now what I am looking for,
what I cannot find...
but yet I know
the answer is in my mind.
I see the wind blowing through the trees
gently touching all in its path
Suddenly, I fall to my knees
I cannot believe what I now see
what I think I have found.
A beautiful being, far away
I try to reach you..
I know what I am reaching for,
what I cannot reach
but yet I know
that even though, so far away
I have found what I am looking for...
I have found you.


Quiet Storm

The pleasant smell of wood and ocean waves
surrounds me as I sleep
The soft pitter patter of rain on the roof-
my favorite sound
The darkness swallows all in its path
though somehow providing peace of mind
Silence- releasing the thoughts deep
within my mind.
The quiet purr of a protector-
comforting in more ways than one.
The place that is peaceful, that is my own
But not all is good in the quiet haven that is my room.
for Sadness lurks here, hiding in the shadows-
its companions anger, jealousy, and forgotten love
a heaven and hell all in its own
In the eye of the storm there lurks peace,
which, when captured, expands
leaving me in the soft light...
that is my room


The following poems are not really poems, but examples of types of rhyme.




Exact rhyme: The cow

The dumb cow went moo
and put on a shoe
that was very blue.

Slant rhyme:Guitar

I couldn't do it
not right then
but I found the pick
and played it again.

End Rhyme?:Just for kicks

With a laugh,
I hit the raft
with two pointy sticks
just for kicks.

Internal Rhyme: O Where art Thou?

O where art thou, pretty cow?
thou art so pretty, and oh so witty.
You shan't be coming hither here ranting,
for furry little Fido is here a-panting
licking his chops, waiting to hop


Hope you enjoyed it! I will probably add more in the future!
