Poetry Topics – Tortoise not turtle

Poetry Topics - Tortoise not turtle

Tortoises are classified as slow and tired looking. For those that know the beast, they can be described as calm, complacent, wise-looking. The hard shell protects the softer insides from predators, but it is not the enormously comfortable home we may desire. It creeps along 0.13 mph, but does it get to where it is [...]

Poetry Topics – Giraffes Around

Poetry Topics - Giraffes Around

Giraffes are tall creatures who blend in well with the surroundings they choose. They reach up into the tall realms of the leafy residents of their community and enjoy a meal or light snack. With feet the size of a standard dinner plate, they can achieve speeds of up to 30 mph as they sprint [...]

Poetry Topics – Feel the Music

Music by itself helps create and bring back memories. Whether you think about the rebounding of the bass, the techno touch of the guitar, the soft melodies of a violin, the boom of the drums, or the surging of the brass, new moments are created in your memory. Choose your type of music…classical, pop, rock, [...]

Poetry Topics – Swamp Life

The swamp is a mysterious place that provides a home and shelter to many life forms. From frogs to alligators and mosquitoes to bats, each call this murky place their home. Dark waters provide shelter and nourishment to these creatures. Some have bulging eyes on the top of their heads to better see the slumping [...]

Poetry Topics – Bring Home the Sprites, Pixies, and Fairies

Sprites, fairies, and pixies have a special place in our imagination. They flutter around like little butterflies, but posses far more brightness and provide more light. These creatures enchant us as children and remind us of our connections to a fantasy-filled past as adults. Where do they come from? Are they real? Or, are they [...]

Poetry Topics – Book Binding

Books are bound to a higher calling. Books are stitched together with a passion greater than an old blanket. Books are what connect us to the worlds we have never visited. Books are the portals into lives which we envision only for a spell and are lost quicker than the snow melts right before spring. [...]

Poetry Topics – Children are…

Children are intense. Children are exciting. Children are our hope for a great future. They can be influenced in so many ways. It is a delicate path to venture down without a manual or life net…The challenging part is that children do not come with either of those needed resources. What they do come with [...]

Poetry Topics – Ducks or Daffodils

Poetry Topics - Ducks or Daffodils

Ducks or daffodils…daffodils or ducks…Really think about the focus of certain citings within a scene. Composing a poem about a single item may provide focus and direction. In this case, you single item is the complete picture. You are standing outside a restaurant and what comes waddling along, but a mother duck and her little [...]

Poetry Topics – Clock Tipping

Poetry Topics - Clock Tipping

Tick tock, tock tick…cling clang, swish, swish…the sounds of a clock provide enough rhythm to create your verse…however, the slowly moving hands and the rapidly flying times add another dimension to the simple yet somewhat necessary device. If a watch pot never boils, does a watched clock lose time? Think of the moments when the [...]

Poetry Topics – Giant Pandas

An enormous black and white, cuddly-looking bear rests amongst tall bamboo stalks and its rocky surroundings. The giant panda may look cute, but its large teeth and incredibly strong jaws make it more dangerous than your night-time teddy bear. The zoos are becoming one of the few places you can find these creatures. The giant [...]

Poetry Topics – Horse of a Similar Color

Horses are majestic creatures admired for their perseverance and taken advantage of for their shear strength. They stand shoulders above most humans and run like the wind…OK, maybe not exactly like the wind, but get caught down wind from them and you will reflect on another strong creature. Think about the soft mane rising with [...]

Poetry Topics – Cat Reflections

Cats are creatures who have been a part of domestic life for a long, long time. With calming purrs, soft fur, glowing eyes, and at times, a self-centered personality, these felines provide a companion to many generations. From the little fur ball of a kitten to the back-arching adult alley cat, these creatures are a [...]

Poetry Topics – Dog Connection

Dogs are great companions and closer to us than we would like to admit sometimes. The soft fur, the floppy or pointy ears, the panting, the growling, the cold nose. All of these connect with our canine pals. Are you thinking about the puppy you got when you were young? Are you reflecting on the [...]

Poetry Topics – By Candle Light

The small flicker of a flame…the dripping of that wonderful, hot wax…the subtle warmth of the fire represent a candle in full use. Think about the wick as it stands before it provides the comfort. Think about the small beads that form as the heat ravages the delicate wax. Think about the small glimmer of [...]

Poetry Topics – Country Life

The relaxing life of the country, does that still exist? Is there a life where the sunsets are cherished and the sunrises are beaten to the punch? For those who live in the rich fields of yesterday, watching the nutrition growth of tomorrow, the beauty can influence the effort of the individual. There may be [...]
