LOLA HORNOF - POEMS

7/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Lola enjoys writing about things close to her heart.  She loves to reads especially crime and psychological thrillers. Lola also loves to garden and the sound of rain on the rooftops.  She enjoys spending time with her fiance and going on long walks in the woods.

​


                                       Lonely Famous


Her laughter,
Made everyone’s heart soar,
She hid behind a mask around them,
Never knowing the real her,
Fake friends,
Loneliness,
Pressure,
But she put on a great illusion of herself,
No one knew she went home every night and cried,
Sorrow washing over her,
No one knew the real her,
Hating herself,
Hated the world too,
The anguish of being famous.


                            Appalachian Autumn


Yellows, orange,
Taking your breath away,
The brisk cool air refreshes the soul,
Tranquility,
Clearing the mind,
Ferns scatter across the ground,
The vibrant colors were all that were seen,
Magical canopies of color,
Overhead leaves fill the forest with nature’s rainbow,
Under foot they crunch,
Mesmerized by the beauty,
Autumn in the Appalachian Mountains.
 


                                 Fall in Vermont


Bright bold colors surround you like a luminescent rainbow,
The bright warm colors of fall,
The wind blows and the colors dance on their trees,
Some slowly drift down to the ground,
As the crisp cool breeze blows you wonder should it be more perfect,
Breathing in that fresh exhilarating air,
Feeling alive and somewhat reborn,
Canopies of colors lie overhead,
Engulfing the joy and magnificence of fall.



                                          In The Night


Full moon shown down over the forest,
Night creatures scurried around shuffling along,
The trees blew,
Rustling of the tres and their canopy of leaves,
Cool crisp air flowing,
Suddenly an owl calls out,
Sounds of the night in the woods,
Sounds of nature,
Night time in the canopy of the forest,
Crackle of the leaves under your feet,
Stars providing a shimmering glow in the night sky,
Peaceful,
Tranquility,.



                                        Summertime



The warm air blows through the trees,
The sun shines down on all the greenery,
The wild Turkeys and Deer walk through the yard,
The birds sing high in the trees the songs of summer,
Blueberries blossom into fruit,
The gardens overflow,
The clear blue sky brightens the summer day,
As the warm breeze blows absorb the warmth and freshness,
Oh summertime
 


                                     Moon Glowing


The moon was full,
Shining a bright light over the night sky,
The stars were brighter than ever before,
A breeze washed over the field, The moon stood high in all its glory,
The night creatures chirped,
The moon shined the most natural light of the night.



                                          Twilight


The fog rolls in,
The sun slowly drifts away,
The gray sets in,
Dragon’s Breath covers the forest,
Shadows appear,
The owl sits above the breath of the dragon,Calling to antone who may hear,
Slowly the full moon rises,
The fog glistens in the moonlight,
One after the other bright stars sparkle in the sky,
The fog covered the ground and shined under the lights of nature,
Oh, the glorious twilight.
