Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

In this our brief earthly journey
Men face pain, conflict, wars and strife.
We won't find peace until we see
Christ is the Way,the Truth,the Life.
...

On a scale of one to ten,
I'd say nine would gauge it.
Many false and cunning friends-
They charmed me with deceit.
...

When the glass is full, its contents spill over.
That is just simple cause and effect.
When people are pushed too far, let's remember
They will fight back in ways we won't expect.
...

People want freedom of speech with no rules,
To say what they want to say, but that's for fools.

Freedom of speech is not an absolute freedom,
...

Writing is not about the volume or length of words
But about the sense and meaning a poem accords.

It is like painting on the canvas of a blank page
...

Oh my, trolls are having a heyday
Pestering here with comments!
Idiotic as usual in what they say,
Ignorance displayed in statements.
...

The past year's almost over but it was incredible.
It went by so fast I could hardly believe it.
This year is the best and it is so memorable!
It's the year my aunt gave me some wealth to inherit!
...

Rhyme is to a poem as melody is to a song.
It's the sweet music to which written words belong.

Rhymes with meter makes the poem musical,
...

As The Grass Withers

Each day and night make me aware
Of the brevity of life and why I'm here.
...

Our words
Define and draw
On life's canvas the truth
Of who we are and what's inside
...
