Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
FROG-WINGS
   
Author: Melissa Alexander
   
Poem:
FROG-WINGS
   
  Stitch in lines of flesh and skin,
And make some heron-blue crochet,
Down my back, like a brace to hold in
The warts, the rot, the god-ugly decay.
Give me pretty wings,
And then we’ll talk of other things.

Sew the gossamer up, seam by seam,
Weld joint to joint and bone to bone.
Metamorphosis didn’t do it for me
So we’ll do a little magic on our own.
All I want is pretty wings,
And then we’ll talk of other things.

I know you have an artist’s eye and the touch innate.
You could fix me up to your design.
I’m tired of crawling around, bloated with my bitter fate
I’ve my heart set on that oh-so-exclusive sky:
Give to me a pair of pretty wings
So I can be eyeball-to-eyeball with those higher things.

Knit some magic to fuel me, into the marrow of my spine,
And the sad lumpy sack of my body would take on airs divine.
So, if every foot I ascend is torture and I’m airsick for years at a time?
Can you blame me for wanting a world, equal in wonder to thine?
Give me pretty wings
Or I’ll never talk of another thing.

Give me wings,
And even if the scars of surgery showed
It would be the sweetest thing:
To be a re-created Toad.

REMEMBER
   
Author: Katie Bradshaw
   
Poem: REMEMBER
   

The night sits still

The sound of children playing Has fadded elsewhere

And the bustle of the city is calmed for now

Still my mind is restless

With A million words floating by

Time becomes so priceless now

After all that i have wasted

Not another day can i let slip away

Under the setting of the sun

With it's many hue's red's and blue's

Letting every moment last

I long to feel what I've deprived myself

The Long walks and cool breezes

LAughter in the morning, And rolling in the dirt

Eating chocolate ice cream and ruining a shirt

Taking time to notice the little things in life

Like humming birds on daphodilles

Snow angles in winter And spashing in the rain

Some how all these things were forgotten

And Covered up with pain

Too busy for sand castles and playing in the mud

Once these things were precious

I forgot the things I loved

The humming birds are silent now

I await their song once more

Longing for the melody i heard long before
