Venture

written by: RhymeRula

@IamtheRhymeRula

Listen to that sweet chorus beyond this world

Only paradise can cleanse the past,

Heavy footsteps sink into puddles,

Liquid to solid,

Surrendering our balance on life’s frozen booby traps

Settled in an unavoidable recurrence,

Singing birds embraced by all to witness

An artistic antidote to the gloom,

The lull of nightfall rain communicates

To me in murmurs of the future

All I ask for is this..

Placate my worries and remind of days

I would cruise down a concrete jungle carefree on my scooter,

Lonely hearts are forgotten fast

And things remain the same

Rivers flow softly

Struggles accompany every season

Sunshine beams greedy praise

Nature pours everlasting tears

Memories carried in ashes

The world continues to spin

but it’s too comfortable standing still,
We venture through life’s aisles ready for what’s in store

but not prepared for the finish line that always continues into another race

I find words are my specialty and it has been ever since I took a creative writing class when I was attending community college. I perceive poetry as strength of mine and it allows me to be creative off the cuff sometimes without even writing anything down and that’s why I find it a pleasurable hobby. I create poems out of topics that spontaneously come into my mind, and I think it’s helped me not only become efficient with my writing but getting my point across. Anyways I digress if you’re into poetry and storytelling check out what I have to offer and hopefully it’ll make you think, smile, or just appreciate this type of art.

A Christmas Heckler by John Christopher

“With your vote tomorrow—” The Governor raised his hands to quell thunderous applause. “With your vote, we can end this foreign invasion once and for all. America for Americans!”

This wasn’t just a slogan for Governor Bishop DeCulpat. It was a life’s crusade. In his border state, it was his family, his neighbors who’d borne the brunt of the social costs of the flow of migrants across the border. They’d been pushed to a boiling point. Now, it was time for action.

Hearing the signature catchphrase of the campaign, the audience erupted once again, the ovation magnified by the white marble column of the Statehouse rising at the Governor’s back, drowning out The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s Christmas is Coming blaring from the speakers...
