BLACK MUSE - Poem

BLACK MUSE

Danielle Myre 12/31/2012

Clouds of black, 

Through the sky lightening makes a crack, 

Rumbling shudders all around, 

You are what I found. 

This feeling is dark,
But I still feel a spark. 

Thoughts are filling my head, 

My page is stained red. 

You've become my muse, 

But have also ignited my fuse.

So these words spill,

Do you feel the chill? 

A sucking hole, 

As black as coal,

It never seems to end, 

No words will be able to fend. 

I should run away,

Because I feel like prey, 

But you've been a good use, 

You are my black muse.  

New Year (Poem)

New Year 

Danielle Myre 12/31/2012

Filled with smiles, 

And some frowns, 

This time is complete, 

And now a new one starts. 

A long list, 

I have so many plans. 

Will I succeed? 

A year is a long and short time. 

Every day has to get me closer, 

I will move further, 

I won't step away. 

I'll be ahead of the game. 

So this year starts, 

I will accomplish everything.

Nothing shall hold me back.

This is my New Year...

I'm taking full advantage of it. 

Echo - Poem

Echo 

Danielle Myre 12/31/2012

Silent all around, 

But I can't stop the screaming. 

Hide or disappear, 

I can't think like this. 

Wind whispers past, 

It makes everything echo. 

A moment of peace, 

But then it's gone again. 

Where does this place reside? 

I can't find my way.

Each path is dark.

Where's my light? 

A speck of hope, 

And a shiver across my body, 

Is it opening? 

Or are my wishes tricking me? 

But I see it, 

There's light. 

The screaming silence subsides, 

And an echo of freedom sings. 

Pay Attention and Listen! -Poem-

Pay Attention and Listen! 

Danielle Myre 12/312012

You see what you want to see, 

But what about what I see? 

Sight can be deceptive,

And you're already stubborn enough. 

Stop looking,

And listen for a change.

What can it hurt? 

You already think you know everything.  

There you go again, 

Pay attention! 

That's not what I mean. 

Stop and look around. 

You're the only one, 

They all get it, 

So why can't you? 

My patience is thin. 

I try again and again,

I want to say forget it, 

But I want you to pay attention. 

Start to listen! 

High Low -Poem-

High Low

Danielle Myre 12/30/2012

All I know is falling, 

I want to stop recalling.

But somehow I make myself stand,

Can I make this grand? 

I'm up in the stars, 

Brave enough to reach Mars.

But gravity is pulling me down.

Please don't let me drown. 

All that I thought was right, 

Is giving me fright.

But the left isn't so bad,

I'll make the most of it and it'll be grand.

These voices say yes,

I will express. 

But why are they saying no? 

I feel so low. 

I'm weak because of those voices, 

I don't seem to have any choices. 

But I know I am strong,

You can't say I'm wrong. 

I win for me, 

And for me I see. 

You tell me to lose, 

But it becomes my muse. 

Days I will be as high as the sky,

And some days I won't want to fly.

But even when I'm low, 

I'll make sure I grow. 

Winter Land

Winter Land 

This is the view I have when I look out my window. It's kind of pretty. 

AVATAR

I think Avatar is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. I have been putting off watching it since it came out on DVD and Blu-ray because I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but I finally sat down and watched it and I wish I would have watched it a long time ago. I was missing out on so much. This movie is in my top five for sure. I'm so glad my mom's friend let us borrow it. I think I'm going to grab another cup of hot cocoa and some popcorn and watch it again. Have a great night!  

The Day After

The Day After Christmas - 

All I feel like doing is curling up in my blankets and watch TV and movies. Plus I still have the holiday hunger so I keep munching on leftover goodies. Maybe I should do something somewhat constructive and do some reading. Anyone else have the day after lazies?  

Merry Christmas!

M e r r y

 C h r i s t m a s ! 

I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your time with your family and make sure you smile more and more every second. 

Work to get done...

The last few days I have been a bit lazy with my work because of family time. Now I'm behind with my work but I have to say that it's well worth it. Yesterday I had the most amazing Christmas party with several of my family members. I love my family. But now I have to get back to work and get back on track. I've missed my writing so I'm going to dive in and fully indulge myself. =) 

Newtown Shooting

My heart is with the families that have lost their children and loved ones in Newtown Connecticut. Yesterday, so many of us were worrying about our own problems and now those problems seem insignificant. I want to share my love and support for all those people that are suffering so much right now. I'm sure all of you are feeling alone but I know the whole nation is sending you love and support. You are not alone even if it seems that way. My family, my friends, me, and millions more that I don't even know are standing by your side and praying for you.       

Reading/Editing

For the last few hours I have I have been reading and editing one of my YA novels and I'm getting as giddy reading it as I do reading someone else's book. I'm not trying to sound all high and mighty but I think this book of mine is really good. I still have a lot of things that I need to fix but if I don't like my own work but I feel that other people won't like it either. I need to be proud without being cocky and I think I am right there. I know I still have a lot to do to improve my book and my writing but I love my ideas and stories and they make me excited and happy. I love writing and can't wait to share more of my work with the world.  

Hot Cold - Poem

Hot Cold

Danielle Myre 

12/11/2012

A warmth through my center, 

And a shiver through my soul.

Is this how you enter? 

Am I an item you stole? 

At first I was cold as ice, 

Then I warmed like the sun.

You can be nice, 

But I should still run. 

Your chill is growing, 

I should feel terror. 

Where are we going? 

Is this trial and error? 

But what's this? 

The warmth is expanding. 

It's sweet, your kiss. 

But why do you say it's a misunderstanding? 

You words are so hot, 

But your shoulder is as cold as winters night. 

This time I'll make sure you are caught, 

I'll make sure to hold on tight. 

Bittersweet - Poem

Bittersweet 

Danielle Myre 

12/10/2012

Bitterness is blinding. 

Strength is just a word. 

Dreams are so far away. 

Who am I? 

Bitterness is bitter. 

Strength is weakening. 

Dreams don't come as often.

I am me. 

Bitterness can turn sweet.

Strength can reach new heights. 

Dreams will always be there. 

I want to be me. 

Winter: First Snowfall/Snowstorm

Winter can and is a beautiful season. I love the trees when they are coated in snow and ice but I hate winter. It's so beautiful to look at but when I have to shovel wet and heavy snow every 2-3 hours so I can get out of my driveway then it sucks. Winter is cold, wet, icy, and cold. It's a pain in my butt, or more accurately, it's a pain in my back. Beautiful, yes. A wet and cold mess, Ding, Ding, Ding. My hate of cold trumps beauty.  

My Life and My Voice - Poem

This Is My Life

Danielle Myre 

12/07/2012

I smile for me, 

And only I can choose. 

My choices make me see. 

I won't lose. 

This is my life, 

And I decided which road to take. 

I'll cut through it with a knife, 

And promise myself not to brake. 

I'll consider what I'm told, 

But remember to respect my choice. 

Sometimes things will be cold, 

But this is my life and my voice.

Hold my opinion close, 

And remember that I'll never give in, 

It only grows, 

I want to win. 

My strength is in my goals, 

And my heart lies in what I dream, 

This is my soul, 

I'll make sure to gleam.  

My Own - Poem

My Own 

Danielle Myre 

12/05/2012

A word that mimics my own, 

And a world turned inside out.

Into an unknown zone,

All you can do is shout. 

But forget your voice, 

It won't reach.

This world lacks choice, 

And no speech. 

I once thought it was cool, 

But I realized the cost. 

You can say I was a fool, 

Because my life turned to frost. 

But here I am now, 

My voice is my own, 

I won't ask how, 

Because I've grown. 

Fly - Poem (Dedicated to my dad)

Fly 

Danielle Myre 

12-03-2012

Fly so high, 

Can't you lie? 

I ask why. 

All we have to do is try. 

I stand by, 

But I won't sigh, 

Even if I cry, 

Eventually my eyes run dry. 

You fly in the sky, 

Keeping an eye, 

Like a secret spy, 

You're a good guy.

I won't say good-bye,

And days I'll cry, 

So I'll look to the blue sky, 

And watch you fly. 

This is dedicated to my dad. He is a secret spy keeping his eyes on me and keeping me safe. I wish I could have known him. 

New Blog

Sweet - Short Poem

S w e e t !

Just a bit of bitter, 

While always being a little sour. 

Pile on the sugar, 

And everything is sweet. 

Untitled - POEM

Untitled

Danielle Myre

December 2, 2012 

Can anything heal without kind words? 

Am I able to heal without love? 

Do you love? 

Can you words be kind?

I don't depend, 

But I count on you. 

Will you defend? 

Make sure you speak clearly. 

I like simple things;

Even when I'm so complicated. 

Isn't this what you like? 

That's what you said. 

Sometimes my words are jumbled, 

And I can't explain right, 

But must you always jump to conclusions? 

How many times have I said you need to listen? 

I'm not perfect, 

And I'm glad you're not either;

But understand this:

I like you.
