Flip it Over

In a game of chance
A coin is tossed
As it flies through the air
Feelings of hope blossom

Why leave it to chance?
Flip it over,
To the better side.

@RealisticPoetry Stamping around
Like a lunatic
Wasting movements

With a change of thought
I could be stamping
To make art

[lance.cooney @lancecooneypoet]

@RealisticPoetry Inner warmth lasting
Shimmering brilliance
Touch of the soul

Within the ground,
A maple,
Begins to grow.
As it extends,
Towards the sun,
Branches spread,
With leaves sprouting,
Revealing,
Diverse colours.

@RealisticPoetry Digital incantation
With a simple tap
I am born

@RealisticPoetry There are stories that I want to tell and I want to learn to see the world differently

[lance.cooney @lancecooneypoet]

@RealisticPoetry Beauty of simplicity

[lance.cooney @lancecooneypoet]

Soft,
Slender elegance
Shinning bright
Beautiful brilliance

Looking into those little eyes
Living a life that I lived
Not wishing the same pain
That I felt a lifetime ago
To be lived once again
Looking into those little eyes

Clouds,
Elegantly moving,
Through the sky
In a bright blue
Backdrop
Simplicit image
Though showing
How simple
Beauty can be.

Tired eyes
Closing

Busy mind
Lost

Sore hands
Still

Amazing world
Moving

@RealisticPoetry To see a world,
Bright colours,
Wonder,
Newness,
With innocence.

[lance.cooney @lancecooneypoet]

Ability to fit in a hand
With the massive power
Of a great library

Choice of connection,
To make anger,
And lose oneself
Into the abyss

Just like a rock
Foundation or weapon
Home or war

Moon,
Still and glowing
Far away,
Vibes, feeling,
So close.

Simple glare,
An intent gaze
Wonder of,
Elegance

#micropoetry

[lance.cooney @lancecooneypoet]

Rain pouring down heavy
Leaving pools of water
To stagnate and fester
In these numerous puddles
Life can emerge

Look at the flowers
Admire the brilliance
Of the magnificent seas
Don't miss out on the beauty
That I have for so long
Lost in the state of dismiss

Hitting the reset
Like on a console
Of yesteryear

Beginning again
From the start
With knowledge learned

Scrolling,
Reading words,
Frustration builds,
Rejection of beliefs,
That were once held,
Emotions spiking,
Becoming what,
I want to avoid.
Becoming what,
All that I hate.

Is this the true intent?
