Once Grand

Left to sit and decay,
Its notes haven't been played for years.
The wood cries and groans
From the pang of old age.
Once crisp white teeth
Have become murky yellow with use.
It huddles closer to the ground on one side,
The leg amputated from the battle with termites.
Only a twang can now escape,
Not resembling the once majestic voice it had.
Battered and bruised its life has been hard,
It is merely a remnant of its once grand self.

OvercastMy skin is taunt and cracked with dried tears.
I wipe at my face but this threatens to stir the beast
And force forward the eruption of emotion.
I gulp back the torrent and force a smile,
surely the people that encase me believe the façade.
The sun bursting through the windows mocks my disposition,
infuriating the ogre who declines to wait a further stop.
My finger jaunts at the button as my shell scurries forward.
Ramming through the partially released doors,
I rupture into the street and dart towards home

Autumn InterludeThe shivering breeze saunters over the hills, producing a chill that convulses my whole being. My hair playfully dances around my face, teasing at my frosty nose and weary eyes. The air is bitter yet comforting as it swirls around, Pushing and pulling anything it encounters. The discoloured leaves that fall dying to the earth Are placed in its hands and carried about until exhausted of the game it positions them tenderly on the ground. Witnessing this play, I secure my jacket tightly around me.
Continuing along the path, pushed along by the gusty current. Snuggling my head dow Autumn Interlude

Busy StreetI sit stationary and observe my surroundings.
The street pulsates with life born out of hustle,
The path beats as the feet pound past,
The traffic rumbles on causing

Vibrations that shake my chair.
The engines constantly humming,
My thoughts bicker for first place.
Determination is printed in bold on the
Foreheads of the people who pass.
Nothing is slow, at ease, calm,
Except me, I sip from my cup leisurely,
Slanting into the squishy arm chair
I sigh. Busy Street

The GirlShe adjusts her garments, and tightens her pigtails.
Galloping down the stairs she rockets into her fathers embrace,
Upon grounding herself, she gazes up inquisitively,
The figure towering over her is not threatening
It is the impression on her brain, fathomed as love.
The warm spring air pushes at her skin as she bounds along
Her father securely at her side, he swings her to his shoulders.
Nothing seems higher to her than her fathers’ shoulders,
She tightly squeezes his neck and rests her head on his.
The comfort and warm The Girl

Well, thought i would try this out. I've made the decision, one of my life aspirations is to publish an anthology of poems. Doesn't necessarily have to be sold or anything but just reaching the point where im happy enough to try and get my poems published. So in an attempt to reach this goal im going to endeavor to upload a poem here every week, if i manage to do this i would love to get as many peoples opinions as possible cause i need criticisms. Good and bad. So hopefully i can obtain this level of commitment and u all can help me write better poetry.
thanks for reading my ramblings
