About this ebook
Poetry is lawless. Its nature is unrestrained and without rules. Untethered by convention, appearance, or punctuation, these words sprang from me as I reacted to circumstances and the prompts that life assigned. Read along as I grapple with this dimension, and the layers that surround, and shape, our world.

Broken Vases - Holly Manno
O N E
She told me once,
this friend of mine,
"not all things
stand the test of time.
"It’s true about love
and friendship too.
It’s true about eyes
and skies of blue.
"But when you find O N E
who always comes through,
hold tight their hand
and love them too!"
YELLOW CHAIR
Oh, yellow chair
tell me where
did you go?
I wake at night
from dreams I fight
you have to know.
A lapdance here
private show there
but I’m no ho.
My happy chair
Oh darling––dear
I miss your glow.
You’re gone I fear
not anywhere
my joy in tow.
You brought me cheers
and happy tears
I’ve lost my flow.
But don’t despair
without you here
I’ll stop the show.
DEFINE LOVE
Love is
Purple
Strung in gold
It’s the fluffiest cloud
Or soaring
Along a twisted track
It glows
And burns
A permanent path
And fades
Only
When you
Stop looking
TERRA
The forest
You
My heart
Split in two
First and Always
My breath
You drew
Tears unchecked
Your fancy cooled
I wander
TERRA
Empty
Blue
For no one else will ever do
WILED AWAY
Yesterday was a dream
We WILED it away
Sun shot down beams
Cares for another day
Trees along the stream
Daisies did arrange
To show us all we need
Hearts–no longer maimed
Grass danced with reed
Everything was right
Please–don't let us break
Held each other tight
THE AIR
