fact or fiction

Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.

Yoona of the Marsh
Outside of a little town Inside a teeny-tiny cottage With flowers all around Lives a woman of unfixed age Toothless Penniless

Middle of the Night
Fighters of fire command respect, In their outfits of red, Until they stay to long, Disturbing your sleep, We would not want a bigger fiery gas explosion either,

Well, I Do
** My body fights so hard to live although my mind has called it quits Gradually shutting down organs declaring it's braindead

Walking On A Full Moon
Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it dislike our tune. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Its ears expand, booms! Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it chase gloom. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. It, soon. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it sorrow 'cause full, Like Earth. Sorry soon. Thank you for reading! Which part of the poem resonates with you? Share your thoughts. Please leave a comment. Copyright 2025 K.A. Smith

A Spot at Dawn
In the serene moments of a pearly dawn Timidly steps a gentle, spotted fawn To graze under the magnolia tree It’s guard up, it’s prepared to flee

A Much Needed Day At The Beach
Give me sunny beaches The smell of banana boat being smeared Planes towing advertisements Palm trees swaying Heat radiating up to a blue clear sky Crashing waves with white foam lining Give me no work and a day at the beach Until Everyone has the same idea Parking is as close as inland home Juggling and walking is the admission price Beach fleas bite The gulls steal the pre-made sandwiches The fog rolls in adding a unexpected chill Sand in every crevice The book along with the bag are swept away with the tide A dog pees in the water that was just my swimming pool Boredom and the inability to be alone set in The sunscreen, now long gone, didn't completely do it's job Leaving the question and hope, "Don't I have work that needs to be done?"

Living for What You Love
You only have one life, so you'd rather live for what you love than waste it on unreasonable people. Sometimes, a person may hate you, criticize you, or even say harsh words to attack you, and the reason may be more mysterious than you think.
