Rhiannon Parvin Poems

I'd rather be the sun,
Warm and inviting,
Making everybody happy.
...

What is the true
meaning of poetry?
Is it rhyming
words together?
...

I am feeling free,
I have broken down the iron bars,
Of the jail cell with Lil Wayne.
I have taken the whippings,
...

When you are little,
They never tell you how difficult life gets,
They don't tell you that losing someone,
Near and dear to your heart,
...

I am going to draw a picture…
A picture with a twist…
I’ll draw it with a razor blade…
I’ll draw it on my wrist…
...

You feel the butterflies,
You get the nervous sweats,
Your palms are like mini oceans,
As you hear your introduction.
...

Do you ever get that feeling?
The one that gives you the chills,
That heeby-jeeby feeling?
...
