Bird or fish? Contemplative Poetry From Garden Of Poems

by tiffanyGarden Of Poems, Poetry, Poetry Portfolio August 6, 2025July 23, 2025No Comments

Staring at the valleys
the mountains
the depths, the sea
I thought I could fly
but held my wings back.
If I jump will I take flight
soaring above my cares
flying away from my fears?
Or will I fall
into the dark deep sea
drowning in a new world
I do not know.

Will I become
a fish in the great unknown?
Am I a bird or a fish?
Can you tell me, please
or is it something for me to find out,
something for me to learn,
for me to decide?

A Beauty and A Beast: Poetry Found in Garden Of Poems

by tiffanyGarden Of Poems, Poetry, Poetry Portfolio July 23, 2025July 23, 2025No Comments

I longed for a strong hero,
a beauty to lean on,
a beast to help me on my way,
so exploration was started.
Who could complete me?
Where was he?

Inner findings
led to inner peace
and I found my strong hero,
she was there
inside of me.

Yes, I find my beauty
the more I explore my beast.
Both inside, both me,
and I am complete.

I may not know how
to capture one's heart,
but I can capture their arms
and that's alright with me.
I know I always seem on guard,
unless you are in my guard,
then I am my hero,
and I remember
I already know my way
and I am the only version of me.

Yes, I find my beauty
the more I explore my beast.
Both inside, both me
and I am complete.

The Thrill of Holding Your New Book: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry May 18, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

“The Thrill Of Holding You New Book” is a short poem I wrote when I published Garden Of Poems.

Excitement brews and bubbles.
Oh what a thrill
to hold your struggles in your hand
to embrace your heart printed on the page.

A book cannot smile
so I double my grin.
My normal smile for my joy
then double for him.
My new born boook
I get to hold and embrace.
Oh what a thrill.

Patter Of Rain: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry May 4, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

Listen to the patter of the rain.
It feeds the thirday earth,
changing the dried tan field
to a plush green meadow;
a blanket of love.
Turned on a faucet above
caused life to bloom
so shortly after its gloom.
It washes away the past
giving hope to thefuture.
All is right with the world
so listen to the patter of the rain.

by tiffanyPoetry April 20, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

My Mighty Morning Prayer is a prayer in poem form that I pray in the morning when I don’t really know what to say.

Lord God Almighty
You are king of kings
and Lord of lords.
You've blessed my life abundantly.
I know You love me.
Lord God, You are with me daily.
Please open my eyes to see Your works.
Open my ears to hear Your voice
and my heart and mind
to know Your discernment and wisdom.
You are mighty to give and wonderful to answer prayers.
Thank You for all you do 
and thank you for who You are.

Amen.

Pen Poem: Garden of Poem Excerpt

by tiffanyGarden Of Poems April 10, 2021January 29, 2024No Comments

In late January 2021, I published my poetry book Garden of Poems. It is filled with poetry from 2013-2020. Pen Poem is one of the excerpts from the book.

Pierce me with your
ink filled sword,
force your words to linger
as they twist inside,
because murder is never sweet,
unless it's in the mind
causing a new reality to live.
So murder my mind
with words of wonder.
Let the sharp bladed images
of your prose or verse
slice out the mundane,
so that I may live among your ink
until the new understandings take hold
and I am reborn with new light  
into a new life.

Wonderful New Spring Is Coming

by tiffanyPoetry April 6, 2021February 2, 2021No Comments

Do you see?
Can you feel the beginning of spring?
The air is warming.
The earth under our feet
is waiting patiently for the rain.
The trees and bushes
are excited for the flowers.
They know groth is coming their way.
Oh, what relief and joy will come
from the beautiful warm rain.
They sky will open for the ground
the earth will welcome it in.
A new life will start.

Goes The Clock: A Garden of Poems Excerpt

by tiffanyGarden Of Poems March 31, 2021January 29, 2024No Comments

Tick tock goes the clock
as the waves rolls in
time may fly
or time may stop
the waves crashes on the shore either way.

Tick tock goes the clock
as the sun shines on
time may fly
or time may stop
the sun will heat the sand either way.

Tick tock goes the clock
it's far far away
time may fly
or time may stop
we won't pay attention either way.

Wonderful Ice Cream: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry March 9, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

Ice cream was a big part of my childhood and part of my adulthood for that matter. My family will get it on summer vacations and whenever I’m visiting I’ll go to the local Ice cream shop. When I was in middle school I would meet my friend there and get some ice cream before we went on some other adventure. I have a lot of wonderful memories around ice cream, so thought it would be wise to share my love in poem form.

Summer days with their warm breezes
brings to me sweet memories
of delicous, wonderful ice cream.
When the air is hot,
when the air is cold,
I partake in the loving treat.
The taste of sugary cream
reminds me of wonderful days
carefree and filled with love.
Whether bought on the side of the street
or made with love and our own hands
smiles would blossom and bloom.
Joy and happiness always will come around
When the smell of ice cream is in the air.

Different Paths: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry February 23, 2021January 15, 2021No Comments

Different Paths is a poem about how there are different options in life. Sometimes it is confusing and you may choose the wrong path but God can and will guide you.

Paths open.
They may wind away
or lead you home.
One may desire you to stay
while others push you to go.
Only a guide will truly know
what is right and what is true,
so trust the guide.
He will lead you safely home.
