More Poems

Here are four more poems I have written for my poetry anthology.

Cinquain: A Typical Morning

Waiting at the bus stop
For the bus to arrive
In the cold, icy, pouring rain
Alone


Diamante: Education

Sciences
Logical, Numerical
Experimenting, Analyzing, Researching
School, Teachers, Knowledge, Tests
Writing, Reading, Speaking
Creative, Literary
English


Haiku: The Tricky Rose

The tricky red rose
Is deceptively pretty
With its sharp pure thorns


Limerick: The Needy Girl

There was a girl who sat beside me
She was drinking some black bean coffee
She looked stressed in the eye
And gave a big sigh
And said “man I need me some whiskey”
