Original poems 1

1. William Carlos Williams Variation on "Poem" and "This is just to say"

Empty (Poem)
As it jumped,
The wire recoiled,
Sending the squirrel high in the sky.

Scared by the Debacle which just occurred,
It ran even faster to the fulfilling destination,
Deathly needing its nutrients

The seedling pot,
Where it should be,
A hole.

Ferociously digging,
It is useless,
No acorn resides in the pot.

A cracked heart (This is just to say)
I didn't mean to get the wrong thing, 
What?
You wanted them salted?
Well I didn't!

You say I always get my way,
So..."You will never get into collage"
The tears you wore so solemnly,
broke my heart.

The awkwardness as we were forced to talk,
Why did I have to be so selfish,
I should support you and hope for the best.
I never knew siblings can break each others hearts. 

2. How Do I Feel A Noun?

Curious
The baby walks seamlessly around the house, 
The house which it has walked through many time before,
Looking for new machines to test.

The puppy smelling every centimeter,
Laying its nose on every blade of grass,
Finally resting only to start again when something moves.

The teenager who reads history books, 
Not homework.
But according to other kids..."Who reads for fun?"

The Dog who barks at every walking person,
Who never lets down it guard,
Friend? Enemy? Who can tell?

Old age brings the wisdom of the past,
Allowing for a life time of knowledge,
Thankful for the hours spent studying grass, books, machinery and people.  

3. The Holocaust(Historenga)
Hell was better,
No food, innocent killings, concentration camps,
All over an accusation that it was their fault,
Germany the center of the razing,
The people mutated into believing it was the Jewish who did it.
For Germany losing World War One.
Yet Falkenhayn was the one to pull the plug,
The "strong, wise" leader who was secretly making negotiations. 
When Germany could have won if he didn't stop the troops.
