New Year Dawning
The sun rather feebly struggled to shine,
Causing fractions of sky to light up.
Flowers pushed heavy heads out of the soil,
Drunk with sweet water from nature’s own cup.The grass sparkled and glimmered – a carpet of emeralds,
Drops of water reclined on silk petals of rose.
Trickling down to the ground as a gentle, cool breeze,
Spread the heady perfume throughout orchard groves.Birds shook sodden wings and soft feathered heads,
Rejoicing in the golden, warm sunshine.
Their sweet tunes traveled throughout the air,
As they wove their love nests with dried twigs and twine.The sun transformed to a ball of orange flame,
Was merciless soon in its sphere of fierce heat.
Shining in all its supreme glory down,
On the freshly-washed world now ready to greet.      Original poem by V. Mahfood from Coffee Table Poetry

The Salty Chef decided to contribute a poem for Wanderer Thoughts while I am out on my Disney Cruise, lets give her a warm welcome by leaving some comments on what you think of her poem.
Before Nights End
Before night ends this is what I must do
The night calls to me as if I am a lost soul
The darkness is here, but the light is far
The sounds I hear within my mind distract from what I must do
I only have the night, but only till light
I must complete my mission for it is my path
If I fail, the light fades forever, so this is what I must do before night ends-The Salty Chef (@chefscookbook)

If You Knew You Couldn’t Fail – Poem by Damien Riley

Since I am on vacation this week in Cabo, I asked my friend Damien Riley if he wanted to guest post a poem for my Poetry blog. He provided me with this most interesting creation he put together.  Thank you Damien for contributing to my poetry blog.
If You Knew You Couldn’t Fail
By Damien Riley
If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you do?
Would you hop on a Greyhound and ride a new route?
Or would you stay home and just practice guitar?
Which hurt your fingers but you knew you’d go far.If you knew you couldn’t fail, who would you know?
Would you speak to a star and say “Hidee Ho!”
Or would you talk more with the friends that you have
If you knew that your words would always make them glad.If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you think?
Would you mix up the past and the future in sync?
Or would you think upward to heaven beyond
To a changed paradigm of new things that you “want.”If you knew you couldn’t fail, where would you go?
To the sands of Tibet or the North Pole’s white snow?
Would you stay home alone with your kids or your spouse?
What would you say in an “I can’t fail” house?And finally …
When you looked in the mirror: who would you you see?

If you knew you couldn’t fail then that’s who you’d be.

The winner of Wanderer Thoughts first Poetry contest goes to Romeo from Romeo’s Mad World.
The contest asked participants to write an original poem based on the week’s theme which was “ICE“.
Here is the Winning Poem.
A shimmering ring of ice
a cold breath against the knife
the endless torment whispers
ringing in my ears-
finds the cracks down to my soul
and never lets me go-A fallen, broken angel-
lands in an a icy grave,
her wings burnt and weathered,
to far gone, for me to save.The beauty of the world
succumbing to this ice-
the beauty of this girl
is all i hold to in this life-
there is nothing,
no fire no flame,
nothign i have ever seen
or given another name-
but to see this girl wither
and fall into glass
her face was so beautiful
but nothing ever lasts-Thanks to all the other contestants who participated.
