RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Recalcitrant, sitting back in a chair, looking
out at landscapes of nature, responding within
to it's beautiful auras and fidelity in life.
...

Sinking into depths of another world, finding many
possibilities that exist within it, rocks, slate,
water, natural things that our world is made up of.
...

Shaded, shadowed from within a fast food restaurant,
showing silhouettes of nature just beyond the parking
lot outside, standing tall nearby, nearly unrecogniz-
able in the beginnings of evening's darkness coming
...

Energetic mind being filled with a plethora of
questions and ideas, having many spheres of know-
ledge to address them all.
...

Misshapen reflections hanging over windows, showing
themselves openly, it seems only I can see, writing
what is seen happening through them.
...

Fantasies of childhood continue to reign in backyards
of my mind, still enjoying games and thoughts had back
then.
...

Solitude is confident and precious at the same time,
never causing any difficulties or injuries to stop
in between.
...

Easing into life, having fun playing with children
at the senior center.

Having bought a bunch of little toys for my Grand-
...

Occupying my mind are freedom and liberty of intellect,
choosing meanings from abstract thoughts, blending them
together with everything else in mind.
...

Instilling many thoughts in intellect, joining the
intensity of playing along with children, questions
galore being asked of me, loving to answer them.
...
