Meredith B. Poems

Just before the first snow comes,
The lake nearby is overcome
An icy shield is spread around,
Those underneath are safe and sound.
...

The words don't flow the same
Right now they're hard to tame
No longer floating around in my brain,
I thought hard but nothing came.
...

The house is quiet but
Not my mind
It races with
questions?
...

Do you ever think
That winter might feel left out
With nothing to grow?
...

I tried to warn him about the dreams
But he was too proud to see through the scheme
My beloved is dead and I sit here alone
And all I can think is that he should have known
...

Coming home from school one day
Oh, how I longed for someone to play.
I had no sisters, only brothers
But they were too young anyway.
...

We used to call for hours
You took a shower
And now we're just friends
How did this happen again
...

I'm not good at math
that's just a fact
the numbers mix and spin
my brain goes off like a siren
...

In all the world
There was not such joy-filled girl
As this one.
...

Sky as dark as a deep black sea
The moon is a beautiful thing shining on me.
The stars compared to this brilliant light
Trying to shine with all of their might.
...
