If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,
like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.
Trusting eyes opaque
Endless unconditional love
Aging confusion heartbreak
Eternal best friend

My friend each one shows a deep understanding of connections. I liked 'em all!
Your understanding is quite profound as its very hard to write short poems(hard for me)
This one is my fav...
"Trusting eyes opaque

-----------------------------------
As in****this dedication inspired by your short poem.
Eyes That Inspire
Her trusting opaque eyes danced, told me all
a doorway into endless unconditional love
No longer lost in aging confusion, heartbreak
Blessedly found was my eternal best friend!
A lighthouse shining amidst a stormy sea
saving power glowing, sent from far above
Her heart a rainbow filled with deepest love,
a miracle that had come to save only me!
How could I know, this goddess , my friend
such beauty that awed me into silence
A sweet kiss upon my long lost cheek
Love's salvation found so near the end!

Sitting here looking out my back door at the desert and was inspired to write this.
Always, Always
Endure
Stoic saguaros,
Capture the sunset
Reach for the stars
Shelter creatures near and far
Tell them they are safe here
Regally stand tall and absorb summer rains
Gather rainbows and share the pot of gold
Nourish nubs of life on your massive trunk
For they ensure survival of your bloodline
Hold yourself proudly my desert king
Relish your strength and heritage
Spread your fertile seeds
Kiss the clouds
Always, always
Endure

Wow, this creative writing is fun!!! Not getting anything done, but hey, I'm retired.
Part of this one is true and part of it is fantasy. Used an alias of course.
Miss Fay’s Day
Set the alarm today
Went out to play
ADT called 911 without delay
Sheriff came to take me away
But I live here I say
Well, prove it Miss Fay!
With a wink and a sway
I said come this way!
And to my dismay,
He decided to stay!

I've discovered that I should give my poems a title.
Meditations in the Meadow
Red rock mesas,
Majestic jagged crowns,
Crystal ice castles --
Absence of sound.
Bracing breezes, crimson cheeks,
Silver teardrops, frosty breath,
Crackling fires, warm gloves --
Guardian angels abound.
Intriguing fragrances swirl,
Mesmerizing puppy’s essence,
Gleaming noses sniff --
The sacred ground
Iridescent fairy whispers,
Quixotic elven promises,
Soft butterfly kisses;
Spinning me around.
Departure imminent,
Memories essential,
Connections eternal;
Discernment is found.

Sassy, thats very good poetry, surely you have written verse before!
Here is a hint , write that which you enjoy, if later wanting to get deeper into poetry start writing poems on subjects that make you cry, make you hurt and/or make you mad.
I suspect you are as I was a -a natural born poet.
And thats not vanity speaking my friend.
Some things people are just naturally good at,.
music, singing, poetry , sculpting, writing , etc. even shooting guns and bows.
Strike the first two on me- I am lousy at singing and play only a jukebox well. -Tyr

Nope, only what was required to pass English in school.
I always thought they had to follow certain rules but after reading a lot of what you've posted I realize that it's the message not the rules.

GREAT POEM SASSY!!!......the imagination does wonders the way you left it. HA!!!
Tyr, you are SPOT on about moods in poetry or music (say the Blues) but I've found that a GOOD mood is needed for illustrating or sculpting.
