Rainy Days




Drip, drop, drip, drop,
The rainstorm comes to an end.
Pit, pat, pit, pat,
Beautiful messages they send.

Watching the raindrops race down the window,
I feel so pensive like a medieval scholar.
Difficult question about life come and go,
While the window before me becomes ever smaller.

The smell of wet earth turns into the smell of a battle,
You are the warrior dressed in fine armor.
And I am the princess locked in a castle,
                Your mission is chivalry and power and honor.

Then there’s the boom, the boom of thunder,
                The geese fly away in a hurried flight,
And I take aim for I am the hunter,
                And the boom was a rifle fired at my right.

My eyes become heavy and suddenly I’m flying,
                On the back of an eagle in the middle of a storm.
I’m hurt, I’m injured, I may even be dying,
                So I need a doctor and a refuge to keep me from harm.

Light flashes before me in a zigzagged pattern,
                Teleportation is what comes to mind.
Now I’m living in a world that is post-modern,
                Soon I’ll board a spaceship a new world to find.

I sigh deeply as the window comes into view,
                It’s the light at the end of a diamond-studded tunnel.
My imagination runs wild when I have nothing to do,
                But watch droplets run races straight into a puddle.

Drip, drop, drip, drop,
The rainstorm comes to an end.
Pit, pat, pit, pat,
Beautiful messages they send.

Rumors


Just found this poem I wrote in around 2010. Enjoy!


RUMORS by Keila Pieters (a nonsense poem)

In a far off galaxy of gothic galore,
Three kangaroos came tapping at a tiny door.
Twas black and dreary and dark and gray,
But they didn’t want to just walk away.
For here lived the hermit in tranquility,
With his strange concoctions that none could see.
Rumor had it that this strange little man,
Had found a way to mix sky with sand!
It was said that he used this smashing discovery,
To destroy the whole of the world, properly.
And all of Lithstorium (for such the planet was called)
To all of this newness was strangely appalled.
So in went the Roos to see if rumor was true,
And if it was so, oh what could they do?
The first went in readying his camera,
And found the old hermit eating a banana.
