#Emoetry | #Unconvinced

Unconvinced I can make a difference,
I struggle not to let my resolve falter.
From doubts I seek deliverance.
I must persevere, become a fighter,
Otherwise I will be a moral pauper.

I send my
warm wishes
south for winter

As the temperature
plunges cold
my joints scream

As I huddle
under my blankets
with a hot mug of tea

I dream of palm trees
swaying in the breeze
and warm ocean waves

The heat sinks
into my bones
as the cold wind blows

Today’s #poetryprompt:

More like an assignment. Go look at some people. Could be strangers, could be your family, could just be your own reflection.

What colors are they? Not skin color, but clothes, vibe or attitude. Tell me about them.

Every year
the autumn festivals
come one after the other

the sights and sounds
and the taste of apples
and pumpkins

the cool breeze
over red and orange carpets
on the mountain top

and I welcome
this season and
forget the harsh summer.

A "Moment of Silence"
For each wasted dead
Would mute the world
Forever

#Poetryprompt #MPPrompt
#Blueskypoetry "Moment of Silence"

At 4 in the morning
The dog, the cat,
And I
And coffee
And toast
And time
Just to be.

They asked for silence
so the dead could speak.
We bowed our heads.
Nothing.
Which was awkward,
considering how many of us
had killed them.

Sale of the century so I thought
my memories up for auction
at a decent price
sold by the kilogram
a few good ones
some bad ones
now I feel cheap and overlooked
