                                                         Wandering Through the Forest
Mention fleetingly that
you’re going to a friend’s house.
You’re not really,
Are you? 
 
Instead, you turn left, along the path;
Not right, towards the village.
You’re going towards the forest.
The magical forest
Your mother says it’s off limits.
What she doesn’t know,
Won’t ever hurt her. 
 
You reach the edge of the forest.
It’s dark in there
And cool.
Taking out your
Jacket from your bag,
You slip off your shoes
And put them into the bag,
Along with the sketch pad
And pastel blue pencil case. 
 
You know the sweet spot.
Tip toe,
Barefoot on the cool, dry leaves.
Quietly;
It’s like there’s
A big do not disturb sign.
You here a bird chirp here,
Nervous scurrying there. 
 
Suddenly a strong wind
Picks up.
Blows, almost howling.
Awakens the whole forest
The loose leaves,
Now floating around your knees,
The trees, now alive.
Watching. 
 
You’re nearly there.
It’s a small clearing.
Like Jacob’s Ladder,
A patch of sun
Shines upon the grass
Between gnarled old
Maple Tree roots.
 
You sit, and lean against one.
Now you watch silently
And wait.
You take out your pad and pencils.
You run a pale hand over the roots,
Then sketch them.
You sketch the critters
That scurry with
Such nervous haste.
 
The trees;
The entire forest.
In all its beauty,
It’s your one spot
To truly call your own.
Where by taking off your shoes,
You can feel the leaves,
Feel her breaths;
Beneath your feet.
It’s your place
Where you
Can feel alive.

 

 

 

                                                                                    As I Sit

                                                              As I sit,

I stare

At the bright blank page.

It screams at me:

Write something meaningful,

Or humorous,

But something people

Will actually like.

And if it turns into a chore,

You must cease.

 

As I sit,

And ponder,

I stare around my surroundings

Whatever to write about?

I wonder.

 

Perhaps a dashing man,

A lost cause;

A yearning love.

Perhaps a wild horse;

Or even one of

My fears;

My dreams.

 

Behind this veil,

I write what I wish.

Those people

Who read this

Won’t ever know

Whether it’s imagination

Or maybe something more.

 

As I sit,

I smile.

For what

I have created

May not be a masterpiece,

But, man;

Writing it

Was like living a second life.

Article by Candace Matwijiw
“Would you take a $30,000 a year pay-cut?” asks my lunch companion. “No! Do you know what I would do for $30,000?” I laugh back across my menu. Two years ago that is exactly what local author Jayanne Sindt did. Jayanne’s journey began as a child, listening bright-eyed to stories of reincarnation as [...]

Mato Finds True North | Children’s Book

I was prompted to ask my fellow poet, Jim Hawks, if he could draw polar bears.  He sent me a couple of sketches and I knew I had the cover for my novel (unfinished), True North. As I looked at the sketch more, I had to write some verse. [...]

Lyrical Poetry | Song Lyrics
When I hear the same suggestion from many different sources, I better listen.  Over the past week I have heard from several people that Personal Verse should offer song lyrics.  So, here is a lyrical version of an earlier post, “Truth is True”.  Only lyrics are offered, as the extent of [...]

Cyberspace Race

Cyberspace Race
It seems we are in a race
to be number one in cyberspace
not just a name, but also a face
if the site is down- What a disgrace!
Finally, my site is new and complete
with very few others do I compete
not as literary poet or one that’s “beat”
but an artist of verse which is pretty neat
So I hired [...]
