Original Poems 2

1. Fingers(Pantoum)
The Independent flow of hinges,
Allow the fingers to grip.
Easily they slide down the plastic edge.
Letting go only after the work is done.

Allow the fingers to grip,
The mornings brew of coffee.
Letting go only when work is done.
Unwinding the grip to drop the cup.

The mornings brew of coffee.
Brings light to the morning.
Unwinding the grip to drop the cup.
Because they pick up the thrown pencil.

The Independent flow of hinges,
Brings light to the morning,
Because they pick up the thrown pencil.
Easily they slide down the plastic edge.

2. Antarctica(Rainbow Poem)
Red as in Peru,
Orange as in Namibia,
Yellow as in Australia,
Green as in Canada,
Blue as in Finland,
Indigo as in Argentina,
Purple as in America.

All of these rest in different places,
Yet they are all on my wall.
All part of a colorful map,
With all of the seven continents on it.
Each country a different color.
So do they take so long to get to,
If they are all hanging up in my wall?

3. The Odds(Ladder)- Inspired by the Huger Games by Susan Collins.
Dangerous,
Like poison,
Never meant harm,
It was their fault,
For choosing her sisters name.
Death in a card,
Now they pay,
With fire,
Catastrophe.
