Title A name given to the resource Odd Odyssey Poet Apr 28 - Safety pin Description An account of the resource Odd Odyssey Poet Apr 28 Safety pin Commitment and trust, a safety pin so small, In the tapestry of bonds, they stand tall. They shield and support, like a gentle embrace, But one misstep, and the balance we chase. Delicate threads woven, emotions entwined, Unintended consequences, where hearts find, A wounded soul, left in the aftermath, When commitment falters, trust takes a path. So cherish these elements, precious and rare, Handle with care, for they're beyond compare. For in the fabric of relationships, they reside, A safety pin's power, when love is our guide. https://www.omeka.lawrencecatania.com/files/original/f737cd440f9c743ac3011f2af79b7f60.jpg a3de5cff18243d76e8cb48dfe3c2cce3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Commitment Poem by David Harris Description An account of the resource We all commit ourselves to something whether it be a person or work. They become the most important thing that will enter our lives. We cherish them with our heart from our beginning to the end and woe be tide if someone tries to take them away. We'll fight to our dying breath to keep them for our own. For we have the commitment that comes but once in our lives. 11 October2014 David Harris Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Hunter K Feb 2015 The Tin Warrior Description An account of the resource Hunter K Feb 2015 The Tin Warrior The tin warrior, Stands tall and strong, His creator looks in horror, As his new creation has gone terribly wrong. The tin warrior was suppose to have no heart, But no, he came out with a part, The tin warrior was the key to victory, Now who ever wins the war is a pure mystery, Who do they blame for this new creation? Obviously the one who created all this frustration! The tin warrior has a half a heart, Not the best, but it is a start, Instead of stone cold, It became pure gold, Only one person knows why, And it most certainly wasn't the creator guy. The daughter of the creator, She was the one, She may be a traitor, But she knows what she had done. The tin warrior was better than a weapon, The daughter knew that, She doesn't regret her choices for a second, The tin warrior was even better than her father was aiming at. The tin warrior was build for peace, His sword pure white, Not a speck of blood upon it, To walk he used all his might, To keep his heart pumping, He struggled greatly, What the daughter witnessed, Make her quite shaky. You see, a heart was meant for man, And the tin warrior just wasn't it, The tin warrior went out with a plan, So he left a dent in this world, Letting himself shut down, Knowing his plan was unfurled, Everything would be fine without him, As he did his part, The daughter was grim, But knew this was just the start, The tin warrior saved many souls, And now it was her turn to achieve the tin warriors goals Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://hellopoetry.com/words/warrior/" target="_blank" title="Hunter K Feb 2015 The Tin Warrior" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://hellopoetry.com/words/warrior/</a> https://www.omeka.lawrencecatania.com/files/original/513b2b33b3bb1c85878576e699f4a0f1.jpg 745fad6f5bf2050c737cd982bb26e309 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ballad of Forgotten Places by - Olga Orozco Description An account of the resource My most beautiful hiding places, places that best fit my soul’s deepest colors, are made of all that others forgot. They are solitary sites hollowed out in the grass’s caress, in a shadow of wings, in a passing song; regions whose limits swirl with the ghostly carriages that transport the mist in the dawn, and in whose skies names are sketched, ancient words of love, vows burning like constellations of drunken fireflies. Sometimes earthly villages pass, hoarse trains make camp, a couple piles marvelous oranges at the edge of the sea, a single relic is spread through all space. My places would look like broken mirages, clippings of photographs torn from an album to orient nostalgia, but they have roots deeper than this sinking ground, these fleeing doors, these vanishing walls. They are enchanted islands where only I can be the magician. And who else, if not I, is climbing the stairs towards those attics in the clouds where the light, aflame, used to hum in the siesta’s honey, who else will open again the big chest where the remains of an unhappy story lie, sacrificed a thousand times only to fantasy, only to foam, and try on the rags again like those costumes of invincible heroes, circle of fire that inflamed time’s scorpion? Who cleans the windowpane with her breath and stirs the fire of the afternoon in those rooms where the table was an altar of idolatry, each chair, a landscape folded up after every trip, and the bed, a stormy short cut to the other shore of dreams, rooms deep as nets hung from the sky, like endless embraces I slid down till I brushed the feathers of death, until I overturned the laws of knowledge and the fall of man? Who goes into the parks with the golden breath of each Christmas and washes the foliage with a little gray rag that was the handkerchief for waving goodbye, and reweaves the garlands with a thread of tears, repeating a fantastic ritual among smashed wine glasses and guests lost in thought, while she savors the twelve green grapes of redemption— one for each month, one for each year, one for each century of empty indulgence— a taste acid but not as sharp as the bread of forgetfulness? Because who but I changes the water for all the memories? Who inserts the present like a slash into the dreams of the past? Who switches my ancient lamps for new ones? My most beautiful hiding places are solitary sites where no one goes, and where there are shadows that only come to life when I am the magician.

Sat on the couch pretending not to see. Cooking and trying not to see. Waiting. Looking as I went about not believing what I sought. Silently opening the door not believing what I see. Last her giving up. Then a thought, let me see when all is sleep. What he truly feels for me she thought. So in the bed, silently she climbs. Edging ever so carefully close next to me. Waiting breathlessly to see what he truly felt for me. Stirring he came to consciousness and a sharp breath he drew. Then a gasp and a sigh and arm put around me. Then I knew as he whispered, Please let me wake not from this to be. ~LArry Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Eyes A Glimpse Of The Soul Poem: Her eyes, like two pools of liquid light, Reflect the secrets of her soul so bright. In their depths, a universe untold, A narrative of emotions, beautifully scrolled. With just a glance, I am hypnotized, Lost in the depths of her beautiful eyes. A kaleidoscope of feelings, colors unseen, A glimpse of the soul, serene and keen. In the silent language that her eyes unfold, A tapestry of stories, beautifully told. I navigate the constellations of her inner night, Captivated by the soft glow of her soul’s light. For in those orbs, an ethereal dance, A symphony of emotions, a subtle trance. I find myself in a sacred space, Lost in the grace of her soul’s embrace. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What I think of you. ~LArry Description An account of the resource A Shield of Steel, A Heart of Gold, A woman stands, her voice so bold, When shadows fall, and doubt takes hold, She'll face the storm, a story told. With eyes that gleam, a steady gaze, She'll speak her truth in fearless ways, No matter who might try to sway, Her loyalty, a guiding ray. A warrior's spirit, soft and kind, A gentle hand, a fierce mind, She'll lift you up, your spirit bind, A love so true, you'll always find. Through trials faced, she'll be your guide, A rock to lean on, standing by your side, Her strength a beacon, far and wide, A woman's love, in her you confide. So when the world seems cold and stark, And whispers turn to bitter bark, Remember her, a shining spark, The woman who stands, to keep you from the dark. This poem captures the essence of a woman who fiercely protects and supports you, highlighting her unwavering loyalty and strength in the face of adversity. Generative AI is experimental.

Title A name given to the resource A heart of ashes, a soul worn thin, A gaze that's seen the darkest sin, A mind that echoes with the screams unheard, A body scarred, each mark a word Of battles fought in the abyss of night, Where hope was lost and shadows bite. A hollow laugh, a bitter smile, A weary dance, a life on trial, The world a blur, a distant dream, Haunted by ghosts, a broken theme, A thirst for peace, a yearning to be free, From the chains of hell that bind and see. Each step a struggle, each breath a fight, A fragile shell, barely holding light, The weight of sorrow, a heavy cloak, A silent plea, a soul that broke, Yet, in the cracks, a flicker remains, A whisper of strength, that still sustains. This poem captures the feeling of someone who has endured immense suffering, marked by a deep sense of exhaustion, emotional numbness, a lingering fear, but also a glimmer of resilience and a desire for healing.
