Jogging in a Blizzard

by wordman2022

A jogger who has jogged long
Enough won’t miss a day come
Hell or high water. Today we
Were having a blizzard. The
Snow was falling rapidly.

I decided to take up the
Challenge. After putting on
Double layers of sweat pants
And sweat shirts, a head
Covering and gloves, I stepped
Out of my toasty house.

There was no traffic that night,
So I jogged down the middle
Of the street, snow crunching
With each step.

White soft flakes filled the air,
Melting after hitting my warm
Face. It was a magical winter
Wonderland.

The Kiss

by wordman2022

The kiss is the way of showing
Affection or love. There are
Different kinds of kisses, from a
Peck on the cheek to a lingering,
Passionate kiss by two people
Who love each other. It’s the
Universal sign of closeness.

Books

by wordman2022

There was a little boy in
Grade school who was
Fat and shy so he asked
His teacher if he could
Spend his recesses in the
Library. The librarian
Befriended him. And he
Read all the books he
Wanted to while in the
Library. This led to a
Lifelong love of books.
The boy grew up to
Become a world famous
Poet.

New Friend

by wordman2022

Most days I would sit on
My front porch and watch
The world go by. One day a
Stray dog came in the yard
And sniffed around and
Eventually came closer to me.
Timidly it came up on the
Front porch and approached
Me to be petted, I assumed.
But when it saw a black glove
I wore on my hand, it quickly
jumped off the porch.
Wanting to make friends with
The dog, I showed him me
Taking off the black glove
And he came back to the
Porch and let me pet him.

Hair

by wordman2022

People fuss about my hair.
They say it’s to long, get a
Haircut. But I say I am a
Poet and I want too grow
My hair long. It’s part of
The image. The last thing
I want to look like is a
Fricking businessman.

Piano Player

by wordman2022

It was during a piano playing
Contest that they came to
The last contestant to play.
He was a little boy, and the
Audience snickered when he
Sat down at the piano. He
Began to play, and after a
Few minutes the audience
Was in tears, because they
Had never heard anything
As heavenly and wonderful
As what the little boy played
That night.

Little Beggar

by wordman2022

He comes to our house
Begging for handouts
Almost daily. Bandit’s
Favorite foods are
Chicken hot dogs and
Purple grapes. He’s
Been coming to our
House for about two
Years. I don’t know
What the lifespan is
Of a wild raccoon. We
Hope Bandit will be
around for a long,
Long time.

Sunrise

by wordman2022

When you wake up and
Look out the window
And see the sunrise, it
Makes your heart swell
With eagerness to get
Started on the day.
Sunrises explode with
Beautiful colors that
Stay in the mind all
Day long.

Institute of Emotional Stress

by wordman2022

Institute of Emotional Stress, or IES
Is located in a multistory building
Downtown. It is rumoured that their
Treatments were unorthodox to say
The least. Walking by the building
You would always see, on any given
Day, patients being thrown out of
The windows. This is how the
therapists got rid of their stress.
