    • Published: January 2023

    in Humorous Poems

    I thought I knew colors.
    Aren't they red, green and blue? 
    I know white, black and grey, 
    Purple, pink and yellow too.

    I really enjoyed this poem because it rings so true. I don't know how people can tell the slight differences between colors. It's like a language I can't really understand or relate to.

    in Meaningful Poems

    I can't prevent attitudes

    On a bench, in Joe's little shed,
    lying not too far apart,
    were his ax and his switchblade,
    having a quiet heart-to-heart.

    The conversation between a blade and an ax is interesting, and it teaches a lesson. Nobody should be proud because of one's usefulness; everybody is needed but in a different way!

    • Published: May 29, 2023

    in Life Lesson Poems

  • What Love Could Be

    Love appears in different ways as we relate with others. Putting them in some sort of ordinal form for leisure led to this little piece. Thanks for reading.

    Sacrifice is love
    Love in action.
