RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Turning and twisting, lights swirling in patterns of rhythms
as they entice music to continue changing through designs of
melodies.
...

Singular and positive, an excellent mood being brightened
every moment with a delicate and enticing effervescence,
taking this mere poet's spirit into the best of life.
...

Roads standing before us, wondering which direction to go,
taking into consideration our moods, attitudes and lively
existence as we two find our way in this wide world.
...

Filling up spaces with many ideas and concepts, tracing and
following them into depths of imagination, incorporating
then into patterns and designs of interior rhythms.
...

Rounding corners of life, seeing facets of greed, corruption
and evil around the world, hoping for it to dissipate and
leave our countries in peace.
...

Showering life with sacrifices and suffering, giving lessons
to learn by, hoping to teach others how to have respect and
compassion in this life for people.
...

Toasting one another on a good job done occasionally, filling
one with pride, expanding their egos, a little more each time,
yet a simple person, no matter how many times they are praised
and honored still remain the same.
...

Flashing lights reminding one of glitter and glimmering
of stars above, needing to see at night as they shine
clearly upon this earth.
...

Rhythms bouncing down paths of life, giving us a transient
beauty and goodness of this human nature of ours, steady
and always on point, moving us forever forward.
...

Wallowing in self-pity as sorrow takes over, holding us in
a mire, not wishing to leave it's safety, preferring feeling
sorry for ourselves.
