LITR 3731: Creative Writing
Student Poetry Submission 2003

Color of Life
Life Green with experience
bares
The red guilt stain.
Burdened with wet knowledge tears
Running like rain.
Innocence does not know
hurting-
Green with new life.
Purple from screaming and blurting
Loud cries of strife.
Hold the black burden of cold
doubt
Inside the mind.
Inky darkness charges to route
And choke life blind!
We hold the guilt of innocence
Eternally ever.
The black doubt forming a tempest-
Until severed.
Severed free from doubting
turmoil-
White clouds aloft.
Pillows of gold lined clouds coil
Carelessly soft.
Release the black doubt and red
guilt-
Release your heart.
Flit and fly in the blue silk
Of cotton art.
And
forgive the lines of the Past-
Remember flight.
Be free- a white life that will last-
Open once lost sight!
Pantoum Anapest Pentameter
“Effervescent Life”
Life, I hold on to so serenely tight
Eternalizing effervescent pain.
Need drives the chariot with golden sight;
Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain.
Eternalizing Effervescent Pain
Grants some creative credence in writing.
Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain,
I put pain to fallen life- Creating.
Eternalizing effervescent pain
Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain.

Rhyme Royal
“Irony of Prose”
Refrain from passion- protect structural
through-
And bring together a writing cosmos.
Villanelle, pantoum, and sonnet lost
To the fiction of free verse- I appose
The rolling rhythm of the ramped prose.
Feverishly favor structured work;
Rally reality lost in prose murk.
Robert S. Andresakis
Free Verse
“Falling Resistance”
Bombs break the Will
Exploding resistant fortitude.
Death
Finds
Peace
In
Violence.
Resistance is running to God.
Bombs Break the Will.
Drop
Enough
Bombs
and
You will
Win !
Savor running to god?
