                    The dew drop

A single droplet on the underside of a leaf

As clear as glass, as colourful as light                                                                                                               Slowly and gently it slides towards the tip                                                                                                           Then towards the ground, shining like a small jewel                                                                                       Tiny copies break away                                                                                                                                           Yet still it remains perfect                                                                                                                                      Retaining its glory                                                                                                                                                      To be repeated over and over again

 

                 The tree

 Through Spring though busy it stands                                                                                                          Through Summer though burdened it stands                                                                                                    Through Autumn though at loss it stands                                                                                                      Through Winter though dying it stands                                                                                                           Then along comes man, and no longer it stands

                A couplet

Must be short, this is a couplet, am I not wrong                                                                                           That it is a poem which is only two lines long

        The mirror

Don't get in the middle of two they say                                                                                                                 Only so much soul to go around                                                                                                                          Image after image pouring into one another                                                                                                   Truth, lies, reflected back                                                                                                                                 Endlessy the labyrinth of yourself continues                                                                                                    Into infinity                                                                                                                                                                  But only one is real

Vanity

I saw you kiss the depths of your vanity

That thing you view as more beautiful than a narcissus flower

That fragile pool which does not ripple

Thus marring the reflection

They say to love one's self is to be forever happy

Yet I tell you now

You take that to a ridiculous level

 

Dream

Observe this landscape

It is almost amusing how barren it appears

Yet you would be surprised how much is actually there

Oh really!?! Is that the best my own mind can come up with?!

I wanted to fight a scary monster

These skeleton just fall apart the second I swish a sword at them

What's this?

Oh its a horse riding lesson now

Who is in control here?

Clearly not me, my thoughts are too vague to do anything about this

Got to get up now or I'll be late
