Hurdles
Freeverse
I start out,
bursting out of the blocks,
my heart is racing
getting ready to leap
I can’t wait to glide over,
my anticipation is rising,
the first hurdle is conquered now onto the next,
I try to four step,
but need one more step,
I collide with the hurdle,
I went to fast,
get right back up I tell myself,
Time to try again and this time with six,
I glide over smoothly a few more to go,
one more down without a catch.
Just one more hurdle,
and then I’m in the home stretch.
I go up wrong,
an instant collide.
I hop right up,
and sprint in.
My neighbor and I,
are neck to neck.
she trips on her shoe,
now I’ve got her beat,
I step over the line,
and she’s a foot behind.
I’ve won.

Leave me alone
Concrete picture form
Now leave my be
because I've been treated
as merely a flea so let me be,
like I'm not worth your time
I'm as good as old air,
and if you want me back
I'm not going there
I wasn’t the focus
it was only she
Just let me go
so I can be me.
I’m happier now
as good as can be
and it’s better not being
merely a flea now leave me be
not a waste of your time
or simply my own
it’s kind of nice
being alone

My name is Jocelyn K,
and I am quite crazy.
I have short hair,
with some flare,
I have blue eyes.
and pretty skies,.
My hair is blond,
but I don't like James Bond.
I like blue,
which is quite new.

I'm a little tree
as happy as can be
It’s good to be me

Anchor
Freeverse
Just like an anchor
you once held me down,
now I am flying way above ground
Just like a bird as free as can be
I’m as happy to just be me
