I have three new poems I wanted to share that I wrote 2-3 weeks ago now:
It has been a couple
months
Since September 11th
came and went.
Signifying twelve years
since that day
The terrorists tried to
take our way
Of living when two
buildings were destroyed,
And a third plane was
grounded that was deployed
To go for our Nation’s
Capital.
Instead, the passengers
recaptured
The plane from the
hijackers,
And landed it in a field
Before their lives they
would yield.
On that day.
No one thought it would
turn out that way.
They went to work like
usual,
Or got on a plane that
was fueled
To go to their
destination,
And ended up being
casualties of terrorists’ premeditation.
Those people were not the
only heroes to fall
As I think of the men
& women who answered the call
At the twin towers:
The very people who
spent hours
Looking for survivors
And losing their own
lives being the heroes they were.
Then there are movies
like Remember Me
That shows another side
unseen.
What the families have
to go through
As they mourn their lost
loved ones.
Where would they be now
If that horrible day
never came? And how
Different would our
lives be
If the terrorists were
stopped completely
Before anyone was
sacrificed?
We’ll never know, so we
go on with our lives.
In remembrance of
everyone that gave
Their lives to save
Our way of freedom
As Veteran’s Day was
also seen.
Yearly, the people’s
minds are cast
To those whose sacrifice
showed their “last
Full measure of
devotion.”
I bet all the dead
bodies could fill the Pacific Ocean .
It’s
almost completed:
The
novel that will be repeatedly
Distributed
when it’s accepted
By a
publisher that’s been affected
By my
words.
Being
read by many is what my characters deserve.
I will go home from a coffee trip
With
the intent
To
turn on my laptop,
And
get lost in my imagination.
Other
writers are about
Hoping
to get their word count
For
the day.
Oblivious
to their surroundings
As
they get lost in the creativity.
“The
last single girl kiss”[1]
Was
shared last night in anticipation of wedded bliss
With
an ethereal audience waiting
For
the two halves to become one
Under
a blanket of stars with no one
Except
the priest to bear witness
As
their vows are sealed with a kiss.
The
Heavenly Hosts approve
As a
beacon of light shines through
The
night sky,
And
surround the united groom and bride.
Their
love will go on forever,
And
when they grow old they’ll remember
As
they sit on the porch swinging
Of
that long ago day with wedding bells ringing.
“You’re
as beautiful as the day we met,”
The
husband admits with no regrets.
The
wife’s cheeks blushed a rosy hue
As
they smelled the dew
On
the grass.
Both
wish this moment would always last.
Other Writing:
I'm still working on finishing "The Shepherdess Princess." I was hoping to be nearing the end by the time this weekend rolled around, but I've had a terrible cold for the past week and a half. Thanksgiving day was the first time in the past couple weeks that I added anything to my manuscript, and I have a couple more chapters written out longhand that I'll be adding to my computer when I get home from the library tonight.
I have finally jumped the hurdle that led me to print out my manuscript and edit what I had before I continued with the story. I broke through that stumbling block yesterday, and came out of it a woman possessed! I spent a couple hours last night before going to bed writing 5 more pages in my spiral notebook. Then I added 2 more longhand pages this morning when I woke up.
The end is so close that I can see a shimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel! I have an idea for four more chapters that will take place at the ending. This weekend I'll be working on closing the gap until I reach "the final four" as I'm going to refer to them from now on. I have a scene written out already that is staying in my novel's splice file until I need it that will end the book. I just can't believe I have the end scene figured out already, but I'm beginning to feel accomplished because I'm so close.
If my creative streak keeps going, I should be typing the words "The End" to "The Shepherdess Princess" by the middle of December, so stay tuned!
