Ode To Greatness

Another Day Begins
As I go into the fields
No rest for me, no subtleness here
As No one I meet, smiles at me with grace
I am scorned and sworn against
Though I bring peace, and eternalness

I am misunderstood and unloved
But I do my job, and I truly am the best
I am there when needed in an instant
With no complaints, no demands
I am silent at work, and do not discriminate

I am powerful, yet gentle
I am as old as time, but don’t hold the flesh
I can be soft spoken, or monumental at my best
Man has feared me through the ages
For I am the one thing he cannot explain

I am on a first name basis
My work though is never the same
You my friend may know me simply as

Death

Beside Still Waters by Jill Eisnaugle

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
