April Showers (Double Rhyming Haiku) (My Own Style)

The April showers
will bring many May flowers
help my garden grow.

Birds fly to and fro
the green grass will soon be mowed
Cosmos will tower.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

I had Cosmos in my garden last year, that grew over 6 feet tall.

Cat With An Attitude (Cameo)

My cat
has an attitude
he hisses at me before he
goes to bed
I really wish he would stop it
maybe he's so tired he
needs sleep.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

My cat (Pepper), spends all day outside tied up. Maybe he IS tired and DOES need sleep. Of course, with all of that fresh air, who wouldn't be tired and cranky? LOL


My Garden (Haiku)

Colourful flowers
growing within my garden
put myself to work.

I toil and sow every day, but my garden doesn't mind being looked after.


Rain (Sedoka-Katauta/Monorhyme Combo)(My Own Style)

It's always raining
I am always complaining
but the gardens are gaining.

We are getting what was supposed to be last month's weather.


Summer Inspiration (Alouette)

Summer days are here
the sky is so clear
many flowers are in bloom,
I sit and I wait
garden blooms are late
I weed, just to make some room.

Above me, I hear
gold finches are near
most sunny days start to gloom,
I know what's at stake
showers, the sky makes
lightning flashes, thunder booms.

Sunsets (Abhanga)

I take many pictures
sunsets I do adore
they leave me wanting more
always ready.

Two Geese Flew (Double Rhyming Haiku)(My Own Style)

'Twas March seventeenth
when two geese flew through the sky
I know Spring is here.

A long time, it's been
they happened to catch my eye
Spring's here, Summer's near.

Weather (Haiku)

When it rains, it pours
sun, warms everything up
flowers and weeds bloom.

When It Rains (Cynket)(My Own Style)

When it rains
I think of you,
the teardrops fall
I feel so blue.

Since you have gone
out of my life,
every day
is filled with strife.

I have missed you
more than you know,
I love you two
now, my tears flow.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

Both of my parents have been on my mind quite a bit, since I lost them.


Awaiting Spring (Mirror Sestet) (One Stanza)

Spring, many flowers it will bring
bring with it, smells of Spring.
Awaiting Spring, Winter's hesitating
hesitating it is, but I'm awaiting.
Sights and sounds, children's smiles are bright
bright the sky will be, with beauty of sunset sights.

Bunnies Dress Up (Tetractys)

They

Inspirations Of Winter (Double Sedoka-Katauta/Monorhyme Combo)

Inspiration comes
the chickadees make me hum
walking in snow and then some.

Fingers become numb
beautiful sunsets, I'm stunned
inspiration, my heart's won.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

This my own style of poetry.


She Sinks Ships (Alliteration)

Sailing, sailing, slowly seaward
skippers suddenly see,
storms swarm sailing ships
ships sail swollen seas.

Stormy seasons slowly stretch
skies stir silently,
slowly seaward ships sail
sudden storms, swollen seas.

"She sinks ships," skippers say
storms suddenly shift,
skies stir silently
slowly seaward stretch sailing ships.

Wee Bunny (Reversed Tetractys)

Everybody, look a wee bunny
'tis hopping through
the clover

Copyright Cynthia Jones

Hehe. Aren't I cruel?


Awaiting Spring (Mirror Sestet) (Two Stanzas)

Spring, many flowers it will bring
bring with it, smells of Spring.
Awaiting Spring, Winter's hesitating
hesitating it is, but I'm awaiting.
Sights and sounds, children's smiles are bright
bright the sky will be, with beauty of sunset sights.

Sunsets will be beautiful, I bet
bet the reds will be brilliant in the sunsets.
Bring in the warm weather, my soul will sing
sing like the birds, peace it will bring.
Awaiting Spring, my mind will be creating
creating with pen and ink, Spring, I'm awaiting.

Bunny Clutches Egg (Sonondilla)

Easter bunny clutches his egg
I went and cracked him with a belt
many years, with me, he has dealt
tries to stand on a broken leg.

I've tried my best to set him straight
I've been waiting for this all year
wanted chocolate, made it clear
and stayed up all night, I did wait.

He is starting to cheese me off
the bunny was scared, I did scoff
he tried his best to run away
couldn't keep my anger at bay.

Promised me chocolate before
I think he's sneaky to the core.

Awaiting Spring (Mirror Sestet) (Three Stanzas)

Spring, many flowers it will bring
bring with it, smells of Spring.
Awaiting Spring, Winter's hesitating
hesitating it is, but I'm awaiting.
Sights and sounds, children's smiles are bright
bright the sky will be, with beauty of sunset sights.

Sunsets, will be beautiful, I bet
bet the reds will be brilliant in the sunsets.
Bring in the warm weather, my soul will sing
sing like the birds, peace it will bring.
Awaiting Spring, my mind will be creating
creating with pen and ink, Spring, I'm awaiting.

Fairies will be dancing, beneath the berries
berries waiting to be picked by the Fairies.
Butterflies will flutter through the sky
sky will be filled with butterflies.
Awaiting Spring, my mind will be creating
creating with words, Spring, I'm definitely awaiting.

A Childhood's Past (Cinquatrainla/Monorhyme Combo)

A childhood's past
was stolen so fast
dreams are meant to last
their love was so vast.

They were pushed aside
day and night they cried
their parents had lied
tears had to be dried.

The silence of night
children filled with fright
taken by moon's light
they screamed, with their might.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

It upsets me to know, that children get taken away from their parents and some parents don't seem to care. The part about the parents lying, is about them telling their children they love them, when they really don't. This is my own style. I changed it a little bit.


As Tears Fall (Huitain)

As the tears fall upon the Earth
it's God and His Angels crying,
they have been crying, since man's birth
because His children are dying.

Lingering tears, they need drying
many loved ones are being missed,
God and His Angels are crying
they will never again, be kissed.

As The Flakes Fall (Prose)

As the flakes fall
floating through the air
the wind sweeps them up
as if putting on a ballet.

twirling
through the air of the day.
For a brief moment...
the wind holds the flakes steadily,
then it lets them

Chubby Frog (Limerick)

I once had a very chubby frog
and had lost him outside in a bog,
if nothing could get worse
felt as though, I'd been cursed
he laughed, as I tripped over a log.

Words (Oddquain Butterfly)

Words
we make up
allow poets to
write out whatever they like
it
doesn't matter how they turn
out, delight we have
when we write
words

Winter Wood (Mirror Sestet)

Through the Winter Wood, silence grew
grew along with bitter cold, body chilled through.
Fairies dance, while they pick berries
berries that are so ripe and liked by the Fairies.
Singing in the snow, bells are ringing
ringing clear, while the Fairies are sweetly singing.

Cosmos (Double Haiku)

There, the Cosmos grow
the plants are taller than I
so nice to look at.

Beautiful colours
they're so very attractive
grow in my garden.

Water Droplets (Prime Haiku)

Water
droplets land
upon my flowers
and I take lots of pictures.

Damn Chipmunk (Senryu/Monorhyme Combo)

Over log, I tripped
that chipmunk had a good grip
then my pants had ripped.

Dearest One (Tri-Fall)

You, that makes my heart melt
dearest one
I love you with all of my heart,
it's the tears I have felt
'neath the sun
hoping we'll never be apart.

Many cards I've been dealt
but I've won
your love pierces me like a dart,
on my knees I have knelt
little one
praying to God, we'd never part.

Happy tears I have felt
you have won
I've always loved you from the start,
many cards I've been dealt
dearest one
I love you with all of my heart.

Copyright Cynthia Jones

I was thinking back, to when I almost lost my little boy. He's going to be 11 in a few days from now. :o)


Fall's Splendid Colours (Double Haiku)

Fall's splendid colours
are truly a work of art
leaves, everywhere.

Smells of Fall, peaceful
God knows what he was doing
blessed us with sheer joy.

Copyright Cynthia Jones


Garden Flowers (Haiku)

Garden flowers grow
into the coolness of Fall
'neath the sun, they thrive.
