Two poems, both of which were written during my Law Enforcement and the Community class last week. The first is an acrostic poem, while the second is composed of couplets.

"Talk" by holmes221b
This is my story to tell,
As it always is--and ever will be.
Life, death, and everything in between,
Kip to my voice, to my words.

"Serving the Community" by holmes221b
( under the cut )

This is a spur of the moment poem inspired by an example in my pre-calculus textbook entitled 'Solving a Trigonometric Equation Quadratic in Form'.

In the silence by holmes221b

In the silence I stand
Alone, abandoned by friend and ally.
In the face of darkness, of madness,
I stand tall.

I was cleaning my room yesterday and I came across a poem I wrote several years ago, and I figured I ought to share it with you guys.

"Dance of Life" by holmes221b

In the dance of Life,
There are many steps,
Many twists and spins,
Many choices to make.

With each step,
Each twist and spin,
Each choice made,
The music changes and grows
Till it reaches
The final measure.

A series of disjointed lines written in the margins around the poem "Unlock the Present".

"Scraps of Thoughts" by holmes221b
( DISJOINTED )

This is a poem I wrote while I was brainstorming ideas for a story that I've kinda now abandoned.
