*My two attempts at free verse poetry*


Future in the Yard


 The Wind blows.

He stirs everything.

Rhinos dance in the trees,

While a creature from myth,

The three-headed hydra sways,

Scraping lightly at the sky,

And a dog reaches to see the world beyond.



The Wind carries life with it,

Hearing the sounds of the world around,

Bringing all the world

To us in our sanctuary,

Bringing happiness

Promise and imagination

To the forefront of our minds.

A Dream

 
Impending waters approach.
Refuge is taken on the beach,
In a Pink house; acceptance.
We watch Hope frolic on the shore
From the rocky bridge
Nervously trotted to,
Anxiety welling up from within;
Powerless acceptance.

Trepidation cries from the beach
As an omnipotent sheet swiftly
Sails forth seeking more ground.
A turning embrace as it takes us away,
A struggle beneath a pulling surface.
The bond is broken, but new life is promising; unexpected.
Water recedes, giving birth to a whole new world,
Its mysteries reset.
