When wolves come baying,
howling at the door
soldiers they prepare for war

Looking For Recommendations
Everyone who writes poetry ought to read it, so I thought I’d ask my readers here if they have any recommendations in regards to other poets I should read. I’m not overly picky as to the subgenre of the poetry (romantic poetry,musical poetry, autobiographical poetry, etc.) just as long as it’s interesting & inspirational.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Vying For Victory
There’s so much about him that’s confusing
even sometimes seemingly contradictory,
there’s multiple sides to him
always warring & wrestling
each side trying, vying for victory
He’s a complicated man, ever growing
ever changing,
There are things that he is now
& there are things that he wants to be

Poet’s Treasure
He’s having the best of times
spinning wild rhymes
For family, friends, and strangers alike
dropping poetry lines on a dime
They come so easily to his mind
when he’s gone he’ll leave his words behind
Like treasure for people to find

I Don’t Need Much (Alt: That’s Enough)
She was married in a small town,
all her friends around,
at the reception she was laughing,
dancing til they shut it down
Her wedding was beautiful,
even though, it was nothing fancy
She told her husband:
“Oh I don’t need much
as long as we have faith & I’ve got your love,
that’s enough”

recent lyrics/poetry I wrote
Single Red Rose
Taking a walk at dawn,
with a walking cane, & his fedora on
Dressed in black from head to toe
Except attached to his pocket, a single red rose
He’s taking it down the street
To the woman who makes his heart skip a beat

Flood
A Pennsylvania town, serene
but then a flood washes through
like a disaster movie scene
I’ve heard the story,
Though I wasn’t there that day,
A dam exploded, so people say
Over 2,000 people washed away

Dear Ones
Fellow writers of stories & poetry,
Dear ones, my loves, if you please,
bleed your words & set them free
Let them flow into the heart
& mind of me
I will always be willing to read
As long as your passion I can see

A Shout out To Fellow WP Talent
I am continuously thankful for the community of fellow poets here on WordPress who give me such inspiration @ times. You all might not have always been aware I’ve even read your posts, but now you are. Keep up the great work friends 🙂
Pines
He wrote morning, noon & night
but by far his favorite time
was when he was writing by
dawn’s early light
He felt (somehow) it really helped him
w/his rhymes….
He felt he wrote his best lines
while watching the sun rise
shining bright through the pines
