C.Ann Penning Poems

Hiding in dark shadows
Fallen ones
Devour life's luminosity
Flesh feasts upon thy soul
...

Arctic melodies orchestrating
Stunning, unique crystal dancers
Across a shimmering blue stage
...

Bound and gagged no one hears her cries
A smiling mask hides the pain inside
Build the walls that no one can break
A tortured prisoner, there’s no escape
...

Snow is falling
Snow is cold
Cold too painful
Cold too long
...

Clapping waves in a golden sea
Call my name in the songs they sing
Waltzing lilies cross the shore
Luring my heart to freely soar
...

Alluring me in with his silly little grin
Trapped as the door scurried me in
His asserting voice hurried me about
I’ve deadlines to meet on this route
...

An icy dismal mountain
Battered by Antarctic swells
Desolate or so it seems
...

Snowflakes
Crystal flowers
Blooming celestial bliss
Warming jolly angels singing
...

Standing on the outside looking in
Wondering how this all began
Children left without a home
People battling life alone
...

Awakes the maiden in her slumber
Finds herself in awesome wonder
Wipes her eyes in disbelief
To see such things as she did see
...
