(Just going through an old file and grabbing 3 poems that caught my attention today. Last one is a fun revisit from February 2013. Enjoy.)

Here We Are Again
Our position has not changed
We are back to where we were
Stress barking at our heels
Evolving into terror
That we are forever trapped
A year of working hard
Dashed by misfortune and despair
One holding to a basic job
The other back at home
All hopes and goals are paused
As the newest pieces crumbling
Revealing the tattered tapestry
That we fought so hard to mend
Orbs of Light and Color
Vivid blues to tempt our heart
Deepest browns to calm our soul
Brilliant greens to enchant our mind
Noble gray to ensnare our sight
Soft hazel to warm our spirit
Rarest amber to grab our curiosity
Our eyes are key to taking hold
Growing deeper with each year
Wisdom shines behind their hues
Purest orbs that twinkle in elation
Or weep when sadness hits
They will see it all until they close
And take their final blink
We R Soupereor
Two all uhthr crechurs
Owr brayns R whyse
And hellp us kreate
We bilt a wurld
Abuhv the uhntamd whyld
Pruving owr soupereorite
Owr citees wil nevr fal
Bkaws we bilt two last
Owr wurks wil b remembrd
Aftr we R gon
The beests nv us
For tha wil nevr rech
The levls that we threyev

The first two strike me as right on the button, sorry, but I can’t read the third – nice to go back to old work and find out that it was better than you thought at the time – eh?

The third one was originally written to drive a grammar/spelling obsessed friend crazy. It was a fun, goofy thing to do. Glad I found it again.

Love them! That spelling in the third one is probably going to be spot on in future world too. 🙂

Good chance of that. Though one would assume autocorrect would get in the way too. 🙂

Aesome finds, I love the third one. It reminds me of the way I used to spell everything English on Serbian so I could help my friend learn the language and pass a test in highschool.

Very cool learning method. I’m blanking on the term that involves writing a word how it sounds instead of how it usually looks.

Thats the general rule we have here in language, but it does not quite work with English, due to the difference in some letters, like y = j, so Yes would be Jes. Still, it is very interesting, as a mind excersize as well, to read it, and see how many words you can get right 🙂

English is a tough language. Every rule has exceptions and half the stuff doesn’t make any sense. I speak it and I’m not sure what drunken linguist came up with some of this. For example, ‘phlegm’ = ‘flem’? Makes no sense.

None of it gives me problems, even though it sounds illogical and crazy at times. What does however give me a lot of problems is colour vs color.

There’s a lot of those. Like humor vs humour. Both are right though.

Yes, but it is annoying when all the PC programs identify and mark the ones with a ‘u’ as an error.

Good point. Wonder if there’s a way to change the dictionary.

I love these, Charles. Poetry just allows so much emotion to be released. The third one is too silly-good.

I forgot to mention how cute ‘the kid’ is here. It reminds me of a photo you posted a while back. Is it the same one?

It probably is. I just grabbed something out of the media archive.

Thanks. I think my favorite of this group is the third. 🙂
