Whitney Nicole Albright* Poems

I walked into my room and slammed the door
The mirror fell onto the floor
So frustrated, I my head shook
I turned around to give it a look
...

Age 12

Many tears cover my eyes,
For many burdens I bear.
...

I propped my elbows on the old white picked fence
And watched the daffodils lie down with the wind
The honey-suckle filled the spring’s thick air
With the daffodils, they too seemed to bend
...

I’ll give you a flower, mother
I’ll give you a flower, dear
For life is but a garden
To children of 5 years
...

Dear God, I can barely look at him through this window of my car.
So God, how can you stand to watch from this window in your heart?
The rain drops are trickling just as quick as my tears.
Sweet Lord, you seem to know that I am crying in here.
...

Age 10

We all of shoes we try to keep clean
As we walk down the roads of life
...

There is an ocean in those eyes of yours
Which washes me away to distant shores
Entangles me in its corals and colorful weeds
Loses me in its unsteady speeds
...

I intended to create a love scale
For anytime I had a doubt
I knew when I thought of love
The scale would balance out
...

This little bird, with his velvet head
Frisks around with his tummy fed
Ducks down deep in the wet mud
To the others he’s such a stud
...

O, my days of April, I've pined for you so long
And waited to see your gardens return where they belong
O, my days of April, which find me with a fellow
Do you see my new smile outglowing daffodills yellow?
...
