What‘s in my closet

Dresses for summer
Trousers that covered by new ones
Shirts that I wear in home and while washing my cars
Skirts of deferent length
Draft of memories
Dried flowers
Perfumes that I bought and was gifted as a birthday presents
Accessories inspired by gipsy
Colorful chiffon Scarves
Lipsticks which I never wear
Signed shirt by best friends
Pencils
And everything I want to hide….

List Poems

Write a list poem.

Things that are bother me

by Ridab Hamid

Gossips on this and that

Little noise as sounds of rats

Battery by a love who thought you will never leave

Back stepping of a friend like

Promises that will never kept

Destiny that never changed by choices

Dishonesty in feelings

Failure in achieving your dreams

Losing my properties

Pulling a rag from underneath my feet

Getting nothing except disappointing

People nowadays who lost every sense of humanity

Jealousy of girls on silly things

Greed y people who never says it’s enough

Getting noses in my business

Missing a true value of life

What's in your Bag?

by Kholoud

What in your Bag?
Purple with silver Northwestern Pen
Purple Marker
Black GIVENCHY Wallet
Flower bomb by Viktor Rolf
A pink Lipstick
Black Lancôme Mascara
Eyeliner
D&G, Sunglasses
Gold, Chanel Nail polish
Yellow kind of like a bracelet Flash
I love the ABP pin
And, all the other mysteries in the world

Things that bother me

by Monireh Ghaedi

 War

kids crying

Heart broken

Loneliness

Old mother looking out for someone

Earthquakes

Death

Hopelessness

Defeat

Violence

End of the world

Love someonewho doesn’t love you

The mother buries her child because of hunger

Hate some one who doesn’t love you

The child has cancer and write a letter for God

what's on the ABP floor

by Bob Marcacci

dust
blue blue blue
black dots and lines
strings & lost threads
a pencil stub
a paper clip
grey circular AC vents
brown planters the color of terra cotta
a balled up gum wrapper
the black hems of abayas
a pink sheet of lost homework
wires wrapped in transluscent packing material
a red cough drop
white eraser residue
a clear water bottle
shoes
prayer rugs
small stones & powerstrips
a torn scrap of paper
black casters & chair legs
plaster from the chipped corner of the wall
a stain
glitter

Mom!

Mom!

needs love,
tenderness.
Attention, brother.
Your sister awaits a message.

Eyes
talk,
words more,
hands my home.
Hold back tear drops when
the thought of us apart haunts my dreams.

Soft

baby.
Truest love.
Little bundled girl
taught me the magic of mother.

Sacrifice
Tender
White blooms
In love field
Angelic in bitterness dark sea
Way up to heaven, or down until ground
