Libby Simpkins Poems

The pocket;
Brilliantly webbed nylon mesh.
Waiting for the hard rubber ball
to willingly return to its home.
...

He is a strong man,
Yet you would never know.
Because he is quiet and humble,
His strengths he will never show.
...

Beautiful dark Headstone-
that's what this water will be.
For a captain, who's crew was lost;
upon this very sea. 
...

Strenuous days:
pulling ropes, setting sails
Crescent moons shoot life into shadowy skies
Icy water sprays the stern of a rocking boat
...

Met by chance, but held by fate
My pain is yours, enhanced with strength
I gave you my worry, I gave you my pain
You replied with a smile, and washed it away
...

I'm so much more than this
Eye to eye with crystal clear glass
Shameful reflections have no mercy
Skirting between bottles of burning liquid
...

The call-
Crushed lungs, heaving
Gasping for hope, for faith.
Lay as rock, stone
...

The Best Poem Of Libby Simpkins

Ode To Lacrosse

The pocket;
Brilliantly webbed nylon mesh.
Waiting for the hard rubber ball
to willingly return to its home.

The shaft;
Gently shaped aluminum.
Waiting for it’s sole owners grasp.
Fierce hands held together with honor,
with pride.
A warriors hands.

A field full of champions.
Team uniforms in sync.
Opponents appearances so different.
Mindsets so alike.
Intentions of victory, glory, superiority.

Adrenaline:
Moonless liquid.
Replacing my naturally flowing blood stream.
Powerful molten running through my veins.
Pumping my heart, controlling my brain.

A puppet:
Strings being pulled by a thunderous drum beat-
My heart:
A boulder at full tilt,
rolling down the potholed road.
My body, cast under a spell.
Insides booming from the pounding boulder.
Opposed by a stable outer layer.
Keen eyes, Steady hands.

One foot in front of the other,
An army of warriors saunter to the field
