Drawing Hands

An interesting illusion
A picture of two hands,
Without one, there would be no other,

And without the other,

there woud be no one.

A drawing of a drawing,
A picture of a picture,
A sketch of a sketch,

An intresitng work of art.

Confusing, and
Interesting.
Overall,
it’s rather mysterious,
And mind bending too.
Once you start to wonder,
How it all began,
And which hand was drawn first.

Carpe Deim

What does Carpe Diem mean to you?
How will you seize the day?
Weather it big or small,
selfish or generous, adventurous or careful,
Just be sure to seize the day.

Will you visit an old friend,
Or take your dream vacation?
Go out and buy something you've always wanted,
Or spend the day doing volunteer work?
Do something crazy like bungee jumping,
Or maybe just relax with a good book.
Just be sure to seize the day.

Carpe Diem is something different for everyone,
So do what it means to you,
But just be sure,
To seize the day.

A Day At the Beach

A day at the beach,
can be a thunderstorm.

Imagine a small wave in the ocean,
the wind pushing it as it grows and grows.
finally it approaches the sand;
crashing, thundering, against the shore.

Imagine the water splashing off of
this wave.
the salty spray hits your face,
each water droplet;
like a drop of rain.

Imagine the sun beams,
reflecting on the water,
lines of electric light
here and there;
Looks like lightening.

Imagine a day at the beach,
and imagine a thunderstorm,
imagine how similar,
the two of them are.

And like I said before,
A day at the beach,
can be a thunderstorm.

Rip It Out!

Everyone in is this world has something to contribute.
Something to make our lives a little better.
Maybe it's a simple idea or opinion,
A thought that could change peoples' point of veiw,
Or maybe a talent that could brighten someones day.
Whatever it is;
Everyone has their own verse to write.

Some people are afraid,
"What if no one likes my idea, or agrees with my opinion?"
"What if my talent just isn't that great?"
"What if my verse isn't as amzing as the person standing next to me?"
Everyone thinks this at one point, and some can't get past it.
Some people are too afraid, to write their verse.

But just think;
If everyone could contribute just a bit,
If everyone would make a positive change,
Speak what's on their mind,
Voice their opinion.
If everyone would write their verse,
Imagine what this world could be.

What Poetry Means To Me,

“I may write in silence, but the words I write will always be heard.”-Marie Summers

When I read this quote my first thought was, “That is so true.” While you write poetry, you are silent, but when it's read I think that the meaning of poetry is always heard. It can mean something different for everyone, and that is one of the things I like about it. So that is what this quote and poetry in general means to me.
