Liz Munro Poems

My ears prick at the slightest sound,
and my eyes watch for any movement,
as Queen of the Jungle, I proudly wear my crown.
...

With you,
life does not seem so bad,
You keep me flying,
in the cloudlessly clear blue sky,
...

Continue sweat is running down your body
like ocean waves caress the sand,
Beaches and pools packed to the brim
like sardines overcrowding the can.
...

I find the exit sign from which I can escape
from this prison negativity's put me in,
And I can see the way to break free
from people's, friends and even family's putdowns on me.
...

I confront the dark form
that blocks the path in front of me,
Meeting dark negativity with happy positivity,
clashing with the fury of a raging storm,
...

Childhood innocence long ago lost,
Real life overtaken make-believe pretend,
Starry-eyed wonder, rational mind has away tossed,
Consuming us all like an animal does it's prey,
...

Take the daily bread of life you're given,
Sometimes you overtoast your slice and get burnt,
Other times you use to much butter,
Every bad word sticks and people you hurt.
...

OH MY GOD.... they've offered ME a CREDIT CARD,
Preapproved $5 grand limit,
0% interest for the first 6 months,
There must be a catch
...

Focus on the happy things
that came into your life,
otherwise you'll get depressed -
because you're overwhelmed by negative strife.
...

The wind is hissing,
like an angry cat through the trees,
Skeletal branches tap-tap,
against my moonlit bedroom window,
...
