RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Winding around mountainous canyons,
delving into them with curiosity and wonder,
digging up beautiful rhetoric and expressions.
Soul-defying epics, wrapping themselves in mystery,
...

Setting life to poetical works and etudes, studying sides never or rarely seen through anyone's eyes.
Yet, as seen through eyes of a poet, all of life takes on new light, keenly sensitive to all emotion and unspoken words.
Carefully taking in all sides of sensitivity, charging full force into gales swept over us by perfect storms, enveloping each of us in individual circumstances, causing havoc in all situations, researching
so many ideas at once.
...

Returning time and again to past ideas set
in memories and held onto for a lifetime.
Serious prescriptions of abstractions,
handled with care and placed candidly inside
...

Dreaming in mid-afternoon,
watching illusive categories and
peace-filled repertoires file past
in exciting attitudes of appreciation.
...

Journeying through life, having adventures, discovering new things, inventing some of my own.
Always writing, creating new avenues of literature, while seeing the world around me so much differently than most.
From one moment to another, feelings and thoughts are changed - rearranged.
Just a reflection, sound, person, nature, makes a difference in what I write seconds at a time.
...

Alone in a saddened plight,
people all around,
yet not one knows that I'm sitting here,
sobbing inside silently,
...

Piano playing always in my mind, setting music to whatever I happen to see.
Painting picturesque pictures of all that I make up in subconscious dreams.
Holding hands with nighttime thoughts, using flashlights to constructively focus on each image that appears on my mind's screen. Always aiming everything onto colors, pasted on top of extremes in life's reality.
Located in the foreground of peaceful serenity, being contemplated in formulas of exact precision.
...

Picturesque scenery sketched in books of my mind,
remembered through all time in bluened lights
sent from heaven's abode.
Keeping time with self, delivering definitions of
...

Fascinating, magical, beautiful pictures appearing on screens,
awaiting thought's abstracted mind-bending ideas.
Filtering an existence created from musical abysses,
seeing the extensive process that allows me to keep on writing
...

Circling life with an energy contained within,
holding onto every thought as it finds an area
to spread itself out, locating a space to fit
and being put to use on many daily tasks.
