A collection of poetry, old and new.
Image source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dadoodle/6999296936/ The Floridian rain gets me down and produces a sense of melancholy, a rare acrimony I do not normally possess. I never know what to do with these emotions, as I so rarely feel them. Do I find a quiet room and cry? Do I look up a therapist on Google and…
For three consecutive nights, I’ve had disturbing, ominous nightmares. I’m a very happy, upbeat person by nature and I currently have no major stress in my life, so I’m not sure what the cause of these midnight hallucinations might be. I’ve often been told that when you dream of painful or dark things, it often…

It’s not my usual bubbly, optimistic self, so feel free to navigate away if you were looking for a chuckle. 🙂 ________________________________  And so it ends.  Not with an…
The following parody is in honor of my sister-in-law, the beautiful Lindsey Piant Perez. “I’ll Be There for You” Sung to the tune of “I’ll Make Love to You” by Boyz II Men.  Grab the ice, make a drink And prepare for party time, For today it’s rum and lime, We’re gonna celebrate,…
With your first breath, you stole our hearts. Perfection in its tiniest form, you hold us in your little hands. The love we feel for you is indefinable, permanent, and preponderant. Your eyes, gateways to a soul in its most innocent and purist form, I could look at you for hours. Your little toes, individually…
Since I’ve been inconsistent and sporadic with my posts the last month or so, I figured sharing a poem I wrote about inconsistency was fitting. Enjoy: In a lubricious world, I seek Stability. Â Concrete foundations, Crack Under even the most purposeful steps. Â Walls of stone and brick Crumble With the passing of the…
For those that don’t know, I work at a college in the Admissions Department. My team handles enrollment and paperwork processing from students all over the world, so it can get a little tedious/repetitive every now and then. To break the monotony, I write silly poems, limericks, and other nonsense whenever I alert the team…
They bounce through the sky on the breeze, Traverse the world’s length with such ease, Nimbus brings the rain, Cirrus plays to feign, The clouds! They do just as they please. I hope you enjoyed it, Christina! 🙂 ~ Victoria Elizabeth
I’m not my usual optimistic self just yet, so I decided to share some of my “work poetry” to help lift my spirits. In my office, the supervisors have a tendency to announce via email when it’s their turn covering the night shift and/or weekends. Instead of just sending out a quick, “Hey, I’m here…
I posted on Twitter that I would write a limerick for ANY topic tweeted back to me. Christina Jones was my first victim volunteer with the topic: PUPPIES! So, in all corniness and laughter, here comes your limerick, Christina: ********** There once was a pup named Abu, Who, to a young family, was welcomed anew!…
