Ars Poetica Day 4

Each verse is bled
Straight from heart
To page…

The poem is
Emotional waves
Solidified.

Do You have a copy, Yet?

Ars Poetica Day 3

verse to ease a mind in chaos
written down in rhythm rehearsed.
poetic bent strengthened by
the age old desire to live eternal
as the moment lives.

so up goes the pen
to write the verse,
poetry makes sense…
for where else could
eternity possibly exist?

Falling in Reverse

  by Patricia Harris

Spending the majority
of my life feeling like I am
Falling in Reverse,
standing up dizzy…
   sitting down strong…
and yet is there really anything wrong?

Trying to figure out
why my life is so
backwards and wrong,
still fighting to remind myself
that I have always been
first and foremost strong.

April Pad challenge

Happiness is a mask
Applied as per needed.
Placed upon the broken soul
Per the desire to find
Internal calmness
Not found so
Easily that it must
Seem to be a
Sensation worthy of having.

Ars Poetica Day two

Though lifting the pen
To bleed on the page
Seems like a gift,
A talent given,
I would argue that
There are days
When writing poetry
Feels like madness leaking
Outward from my head.

Rhythm and rhyme
Pulsing in time
To how broken
My heart is.

April Pad challenge

I posted the poem for Ars Poetica earlier today. This is the answer to the prompt for the day: Optimism.


Looking forward
Is just so hard,
Optimism is not
Something that
      comes easily.

Choosing to think
In the positive
Means using a
Light towards
     the possibilities
That shine out the darkness.


I don’t know if during April I will be doing the regular day blogs… I will have to see. There should be at least two posts daily for April like this one.

Ars Poetica Poem one

The urge to pull the pen
to bleed upon the page
is something that seems
to be unwilling to fade…

I thought poetry would be
a passing phase,
something that I would grow
out of as I would age.

Instead, I have found myself
drawn deeper in,
bleeding more verse
than I wanted to in the end.

Blog changes and The way I plan to do that.

So, I decided I wanted to do my blog differently because the picture limits were annoying me. However…I don’t like the expense for the paid blog here. So I paid for www.pattimouse.org Which I am waiting for the site to be situated that I designed…(And then it will probably take a bit of time to adjust to the new blog) I plan on still linking to it, HERE…and doing the random text blogging here…but I will be doing the picture heavy stuff there. So I will be doing some adjustments to how I post. Once I get it set up right…which as I said will take time. This should make my posts more interesting I hope.
