Almedia Knight-Oliver Poems

Give yourself
The gift of lowered expectation,
Accept life and its messiness,
You can't amend
...

Good-bye, I'm leaving you where you belong…
Only your reflection you see while
wandering through the forest in fear alone,
Can't see me soaking in my own spume
...

In my thoughts –mind in stress
In my thoughts - self seeks rest

Heart - seeks solace
...

Five years yet
no change
yet another
threw insults
...

Where, Where, Where?

You were not there
As she lay in fetal sleep
...

Just look at that sweet thang
wearing that tight silver wrap!
At a table nearby, he sat, inhaling
and exhaling smoke rings
...

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!

We just spoke a while ago.
I can't tread alone.
...

Seeds, berries, and foods in short supply
flocks of feathered friends made a V line
to a place of plenty.
...

You can choose from the crops of unhappiness…
or you can unearth the joy from your heart.

You can choose to draw from your dark stormy life…
...

High above:
The sheep-cloud being pushed by wind
her cotton tail wandering across the sky.
...
