Poetry2ponder's Blog

While it is technically Thursday, which means I am late with my blog post, I will make the argument that it is still Wednesday in Hawaii.  Thus, I have successfully posted new poetry for the second week in a row here.  Happy Wordsmith Wednesday everyone – even if it is a little late. One more note for any new readers: any poems posted here without being attributed to an author in the post are by Trevor Witt (me).  Also, if you wish to have poetry featured here, I love to have poetry by guest poets as well.

“Another Late Night Poem”

Another late night poem,
When will the day
Have enough
Time?

When will I
Have enough
Time?

Time to write,
Time to right
The wrongs I see.
Where is
Humanity?

When will the day be enough
To write all my poetry, rough?
When will the day let me rest,
Comfy in dreams, next to my beloved’s breast?

“Hawaii”

Hawaii,
Save me!
You were the last state to join the union!
Now you are my last hope, way out on the ocean!
The mainland is a mess,
Alaska’s no better, I confess.
You are still sunny when California goes to sleep.
You give me hope, despite my despair from our presidential creep.

Mahalo!
May the waves be good bro!

Quick update.  It has been a long time since I have posted poetry here.  For that, I am sorry.  I appreciate all my readers and hope that some of the poetry I write connects with you.  I will be updating once a week again on a regular basis – each Wednesday.  And, for each post in the future, I hope to feature another author’s poems, along with mine.  Happy Wordsmith Wednesday!

“Light As A Feather” – by Trevor Witt

I am as light as a feather,
As my love carries me,
Through all sorts of weather,
Towards the sea.

Passion and kindness,
Lower my density,
By mitigating my stress,
And diminishing my propensity for intensity.

The sunlight of her face,
Calms me as we embrace,
And I cannot think of a better place,
To experience G-d’s grace.
