Poetry books aren’t a big seller on Amazon or anywhere for that matter. So I have created a way for you to support me at buymeacoffee.com
This way I can continue to write more enthralling poetry and prose for all to enjoy as well as make videos of poetry and continue my work at the Australian Poetry Hall of Fame in Guyra where I am creating a world class arts venue celebrating Australian poets and poetry.
This past week I have created my own “poetry challenge” and been asking for poetry prompts, then writing poetry based on these prompts. I have always posted my poetry freely online and I shall continue to do so however I also realise that I deserve support for the artistic content that I produce so today I joined “buy me a coffee” where you can donate to me to continue writing poetry, making videos and celebrate Australian poets with me.
Now for the poetry that I have written this week as part of my winter poetry challenge. The first prompt was “resonance,” the second “snow and I have included two pieces of poetry that I have written about snow because it was snowing just last week here in Guyra. The final piece is “Paris” and if you like these and want to help out you can donate at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thundercloud
Resonance.
As above so below,
Vibrate fast or vibrate slow,
To know high we need low,
Red is stop, green is go,
All is mind and all time,
Vibrations make rhythm, rhyme,
Straight is circle and a bender,
Everything has both gender,
To know love you must know hate,
Every mind does resonate.
Snow
Sammy was a snowman and had a lot of fun
Even though poor Sammy couldn’t even run
With pebbles for his eyes, a carrot for his nose
Sammy was a snowman who couldn’t touch his toes,
A scarf about his neck, and sticks for his arms
A friendly happy smile, Sammy had some charms
Sammy was a snowman who had a lot of fun
After winter ended, he melted in the sun.
Snow 2
Crystal fractal glisten Falling softly, I listen Tzzzsssssssssnowww
Outside winds blow. Feels like eight below Pweeeeeewwwwwwind
Day ends, night begins. Wet shoes walk in Sluuuuuusssshhhhhh
Give those clothes a brush. Little ones shiver, hush Siiiillllencccccce
Snow banks against a fence. Chill wrapped cold dense Weatherrrrrrrrrr
Brrrrrr
Paris
Dressed to impress in an intricate dress is Paris
Walking this city everything is pretty in Paris
Wait for hours to ascend the Eiffel Tower it’s Paris
So much I can say about Champs Elysees and Paris
Ascend to Mont Marte and see beautiful Art above Paris
Don’t forget Notre Dame, rose window charm of Paris
En Francais c’est terifiqe le trafic horifique a Paris
And if you can bear tourists everywhere you’ll love Paris
With a croissant everyday by the Seine Cafe it’s Paris

It’s been a cold start to the winter here in Guyra and if you like my poetry you can help keep me warm at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thundercloud
