November {3 stanza, AABA}
November is a month I'll never forget.
Therein lies a day that my life set.
Who knew of the fortunes that lied ahead?
Not me, nor you or anyone, I'll bet.

The months passed, and soon years.
Here we are today and without fears.
Who could've guessed that we'd rather be dead
Than see each other in tears?

All because of that time in November
We became a couple, you and I a member.
Remember all the warm things we said?
Yes, I'll always remember.

Mom {Haiku}
She calls me sunshine
Pumpkin and chickie as well.
I just call her mom.

Fireball {Tanka}
Rottweiler puppy
We grew up together fast
Stubby tail wagging
We should still be together
I will miss you greatly dear.

My Dreamcatcher {Couplet, personification}
Hanging silently as I sleep
Watching carefully as I creep

Feathered and beaded
Never knows when it's needed

Destroys nightmares in my wake
My protector according to legend's sake

Flowers {Name, assonance, enjambment, personification}
Full of
Life and
Often
Waltzing in the wind.
Everyone eventually encounters
Reservoirs of
Such beauty.

The Darkness Comes {3 stanza, ABAB, enjambment, onomatopoeia, caesura}
It's something we cannot hear
And something we cannot see.
It's a punishment so severe
That it frightens me.

It's something we can sometimes feel
Or at least I can.
The air changes and everything's too real.
Then BAM! You're a dead man.

Hope may persevere
But everyone must succumb
To their heightened fear
When the darkness comes.
