R.I.P. Poetry Collection: Reflections, Illuminations, Perceptions
()
About this ebook
Scott Anthony Choplin
I am from a little town called Saint Martinville in Louisiana. I love spending time with my two daughters; I enjoy movies, music, and living and learning in the moments whether good or bad. I always had a passion for art and in my twelfth grade year of school picked up on creative writing. I have a different way of looking at things, and I can see more clearly if I put the two together, my art and my poetry. I love words and I hope you love them as much as me. I have included some of my original artwork too. In conclusion, the book cover symbolizes everything I wrote from the end to the new beginning.

Reflections
A light
Live a life of action and be a light.
Forgive the over reactions, they just
see a spotlight. Make matters work
not worse. You are worth the goodness
you give to the sick and the hurt.
Listen and learn from the many concerned.
The wisdom of one can make the wrong
take a turn. So, as long as you feel the
burn, keep it real, and you will always
yearn. That’s right, I was told give it your
all and it will return to you ten fold.
Forget the over reactions, they just see a
spotlight. The elements of life can reach
many heights, but it’s up to you to be
a light.
A moment
In a moment, you will be seeing me.
In a moment, you will be leaving me.
In a moment, you will believe in me.
In a moment, you will be free of me.
All it takes is a moment, a glance,
a chance, a dance, a moment.
Beams of shining delight
Behind my cluttered thoughts, I shutter a
fine thought. I’m done with the fights I
fought. It’s time to see the feelings inside
me, feel them rising, and release those
beams of shining delight. Around the
circles in my head, I cover myself as I
lie in my bed to rest because I did my
best like I said. It’s no surprise that I
healed up right. I feel my life is bright,
whether I am awake or I am asleep
throughout the day or the night. I will
release those beams of shining delight.
Blessed
You and I are blessed to rise every
day, to abreast the sun’s light, and
to rest, like the sun sets, for the
night.
You and I are blessed to survive
