Short Poems
1. “A Bird’s Song”
In the still of dawn,
A bird begins to sing,
Its voice a sweet melody,
A message to the world,
Rise and shine, it’s a new day.
2. “The Flowers Speak”
Amidst the garden blooms,
The flowers sway and speak,
In a language unknown,
But their beauty tells a tale,
Of love, hope, and joy.
3. “The Ocean’s Fury”
With a mighty roar,
The ocean crashes on the shore,
Its waves angry, fierce, and free,
A reminder of nature’s power,
And how insignificant we can be.
4. “The Wind’s Whisper”
Softly blowing, the wind whispers,
Its voice a soothing lullaby,
A calmness in chaos,
Guiding us through life’s journey,
Toward a peaceful night.
Medium Poems
1. “Shattered”:
My soul is shattered,
Broken in a million pieces
The fragments reflect pain
Of deep seeded fears and creases
My heart aches with sorrow
As the shards pierce my skin
But I know with time and patience
I can slowly begin again
2. “Echoes of Silence”:
The silence weighs heavy
In the stillness of the night
My thoughts echo loudly
As I struggle with the fight
Of letting go of the past
And embracing the new
With each breath I take
I pray for strength to see it through
3. “Siren Song”:
The song of the siren
Calls out to my soul
With a haunting melody
That leaves me no control
My heart races faster
As I’m drawn to the sea
But I know its danger
And the tragedy it can bring to thee
So I resist the temptation
And stay anchored to the shore
Knowing the siren’s song
Will call out to me once more
Long Poems
The Art of Persuasion
Welcome, dear listeners, to the art of persuasion
An ancient skill that has stood the test of generation
With rhythm and rhyme, and the power of speech
We can sway the masses and reach their hearts, within our reach
From the great orators of ancient Greece
To the poets who made our hearts bleed with their masterpiece
From the prophets who spoke of divinity
To the politicians who promised security
We can paint a picture, with words so true
Or a dark canvas, with lies that we spew
We can inspire, we can provoke
Apathy or anger, with the language we evoke
With metaphor and simile, we can make things clear
We can charm, we can delight, or instill fear
We can use irony or satire, to make our point
Or call to passion, with a well-placed joint
Our tongue, our pen, are the go-to weaponry
In this ageless battle for public victory
We will manipulate, we will fawn
For the sake of our beliefs, that we will stand upon
But beware, for the art of persuasion
Can bring us to fame, or to utter degradation
For every great oration, there can be enough
Dirty, vile speeches, that made us lose our trust
So use it wisely, this art of persuasion
For with great power, comes great responsibility and hesitation
Speak truth, and never falter
For the words we utter, can shape the world we alter
May our voices ring out true and pure
May they stir the hearts, and minds of all who endure
May we bring about a better day
And the world, in goodness, forever sway.
