Pennys Poetry By Penny Lowe Copyright 2012 Smashwords Edition
This book is a collection of poetry that I have written in times of my life when I felt a flood of emotions and no one around to talk to. I have written them on a spur of the moment, or have thought about how the words would meld together, they are scattered throughout, not in any particular life order. Some of them were hard to write and hard to read even now. They bring back the emotions that I had when writing them. Blue Bird On a clear summer day -A bluebird sat in a tree - I thought could it be -This bluebird is there for me. - Why? - He could fly and be free - but he just perched and stared at me - As if to say -“hey you there, you need me?”-if not, then let me be” -Me I do not need thee-Off he went to be free-It came to me I thought -After it had gone-Maybe? The blue bird-Needed me for it to be-In that there tree. Can you see -Can you see-That love you have for me-Break that spell-Tell me-Tell me you love me -I long to hear the word-Even from afar-Even if you are near-Can you see- I am bored -I need to know-If you can see -Deep into your heart-For that love you have for me -MOM I need to know -That the love you have for me -Is deep in that cell-It can grow-And all we need is -To break the spell Dad -In this time of sorrow-My broken heart -Is not sure who to follow-Dad who is strong and brave-And has the courage-Mother who is sad and blue-Doesn’t know what to do -And who will surely miss you-Sister who tries so hard-Not to say goodbye-Brother one follows her-Brother two has the desire for you life to go on-Is the answer all of the above -If I must chose one-Of course we know the answer -There really is only one-Follow dad -He’s the strongest even though-He’s the sorrow -That may not be tomorrow -Dad your brave and strong-And courage-I pray when my time comes-That everyone sees me in your light-I know that you will be in my sight-Cancer has taken your-Your body away -But everyone has not realized-Your soul is always -Here to stay -The reason -You have to come get mom someday. Death Stare -My father -Taken from me-Without a care-If only I could -Watch his stare-It happened suddenly so - One minuet he was there-The next -There was no more air-The cancer -Took him -In only a matter of a year-So go ahead -Inhale and say -Who cares-Its only
