I took another poetry challenge and I fear this poem is not my best work...but hey I had a limited amount of words to work with and a maximum of thirty lines.
Ug, this one was tough! I am not even sure if I like it and I know I will edit this one at a later date when my mind is not full of mush.....READ ON:
The list of words:
yellow, lost, delay, tree, decided, followed,
ordinary, sleep, intimidated, obsession
I wore my yellow shirt today
My favorite
I think it accentuates
My positive
Yet, still feeling lost in the crowd
I wandered aimlessly
You found me
We talked for a while
Then you were gone
Our time cut short
A delay to your response
I lost patience and decided to climb a tree
Angered by the very words
Uttered from your mouth
From somewhere deep within your soul
You denied me
Climbing higher and higher
Until I fell
Yet, you came back to catch me
I felt safe in knowing
You were there
This feeling is far from ordinary
For a long time our souls sleep
Until inspired by another
Finding the other
When not even looking
One intimidated to scare you away
You remain
The obsession of another
Meant to harm the two
Only bring them closer
Denying any other
