A Little Poetry for the Soul

Happy New Year!  It's that time again for New Year Resolutions, and for 2022 I have decided to continue writing short stories from time to time and also to try my hand at some poetry.  Below I have a couple of traditional poems, four haikus, and a blitz style poem.  Enjoy!  

I am an ocean 

by Marionette Taboniar

 

I am an ocean

Riding the wave of strife

Deep sea in motion

Consciousness submerged in life

 

I am the teal sea

Afloat in wide knowledge

Wishing to be free

Awareness, hope pay homage

 

I am the sea salt

Kindhearted, floating soul

Swimming in deep thought

Inspiration fills this bowl

 

I am aqua blue

Feeling, being, living

Drifting out of view

 

 

 

Four Island Style Haiku  

by Marionette Taboniar

 

May day is lei day

Stringing tropical flowers

Aloha Spirit

 

 

Napping in the sand

Little honu dreams of peace

Shhh, do not disturb

 

 

 

Green ti leaves swaying

Hula hands talking story

Entrances my soul

 

 

 

Shimmering fish tail

Salty sweet lips – curvy hips

Mermaid of the sea

 

 

 

A Poet’s Blitz

by Marionette Taboniar

 

Nothing to fear

Nothing to sense

Sense of adventure

Sense of wonder

Wonder women

Wonder where?

Where are you?

Where it’s at

At a loss

At heart

Heart breaking

Heartbeat

Beat of the drum

Beat poets

Poets rock!

 

 

Checkmate

by Marionette Taboniar

 

There is nothing to fear

Magical like the fool

Transcendence is my tool

 

Butterfly shapes my year

Health, well-being and love

Compassion is the dove

 

Crocodile births me clear

Energy is on fire

Radiance, I desire

 

Dionysus is near

Fruitfulness giving birth

Creative is my worth

 

Tiger roaring, I hear

Startled, shaken, not dread

Courageousness, heart and head

Vultures swoop and appear

Use and oppose upon

Be cautious until gone

 

Adventure, wonder, cheer

Be who you are – no fear
