Original Poems 3

1. Waste (Free poem)

The little oak sapling,
Chooses to hatch,
As it grows it strengthens,
From the enriched nutrients in the lawn,
The tree fell luckily into a landfill.


The other saplings laughed,
Exclaimed that it will never grow.
"Who could live in a waste land?"
The little Oak kept growing though,
 For the landfill holds secrets.


John the narcissist that he is,
Cares only about his money,
So when the doctor tells him,
"An apple a day keeps the doctors away."
He simply threw out the life saving apple.


And yes that apple was a lifesaver.
All garbage ends up in the landfill.
An apple decays.
When a sapling grows where that apple decayed,
Truley a life was saved.


The other trees that once lived,
Are long gone,
The only one left,
A tree at the edge of a landfill.
It takes only a miracle to save a life.


Life today,
Aren't we all living in a wasteland,
Failures everyday, born into a unsuccessful family,
Condemns you to failure.
It takes only a miracle to save a life.


A singer gets rejected from an audition,
They make it to Hollywood week on American Idol.
A scientists sees its experiment died,
They find a new element,
It takes only a miracle to save a life.


All over the world today miracles happen,
It can be small or large,
The world today is condemned to failure,
Fact is that the sun will burn the Earth,
Causing it to overheat,
But Life will survive,
Because it only takes a miracle to save a life.  
  


2.  Mailbox(Acrostic Poem)
Many surprises await the opening,
Although there are bills and junk,
Interesting things may come.
Letters from colleges accepting you,
Boxes full of posters which were,
Ordered from online sites. 
Xerothermic weather, lets me sit out and wait for these surprises. 




3. Lamp(Mundane) 


Different,
Modern, classical, wood, silver
Brings peace to my mind.
Light.


Attacks the darkness,
With effortless courage,
Always winning,
Even though darkness is everywhere.


It brings us help,
Homework at the late hours of night,
Can be completed,
Turn on. 


Even this helper needs a hand,
It needs a break from its war against dark,
From helping to bring light to the geometry question.
Turn off.
