A Holiday
A time for the mind to relax
And your worries to fade away
A place that soothes the eyes
Where you wouldn’t be everyday
A sound that whispers in your ear
Demanding nothing but joy
A space where you can be yourself
And there is no need to be coy
Your mind and body are at peace
All your stresses seem to fade away
There’s never anything quite like
Being on a holiday

I wrote this haiku for the innocent lives taken in Norway. My thoughts go out to them and their families in this troublesome time. No one deserves to have their life taken from them at such a young age. May they rest in peace, and may their families have the strength needed to get by. R.I.P
Haiku
His humanity
Overtaken by evil
Stealing youthful lives

A Grudge
A grudge is like a deadly storm
That could easily abash the mind
It’s surrounded by sharp thorns
Which make the heart go blind
It constantly whispers into the ear
Making thoughts and actions foul
Falling into the trap of a grudge
Can poison the innocent soul

Heart-break
It wasn’t the unbearable pain
Caused by the shattering of my heart
Or even the unimaginable thought
Of happiness while we are apart
I can get over the things you said
As we constantly nattered and argued
Truth can be found behind all the lies
That you shamelessly issued
It was the concept that the one I loved,
I cared for and I trusted was you
Yet you stormed into my life and before
I knew it you tore my heart in two

No Regrets
A grey old man lies by himself
While watching his time fly past
He analyses the live he’s lived
And wonders how it went so fast
Wishes he had appreciated
Something small like a smile
Or given up a few hours
To enjoy life for a while
He watches himself fade away
And in the stillness of his mind
His mistakes and missed opportunities
Slowly begin to unwind
He repeats to himself all the time
As his face wrinkles and hands are cold
“I wish I could be young again
And have no regrets as I grow old”

I am Marinela Reka, I was born 23.04.1996. I have started writing from a very young age, around 6 years old. It began as something I would to to practice my writing and spelling, however after time I found it was a fantastic way to write what was on my mind. After so many years I have learnt poetic skills and I write in a variety of forms. Not all my poetry is about my life and feelings, I write about situations others may be in, and world issues. After opening a webpage, I soon discovered that the people all over the world were also enjoying my poetry with me. This inspired and motivated mt to write more. Over the years of writing I have been lucky enough to publish two books. (One at the age of 8 and the other at the age of 11) Also, some of my poems have been published in 6 anthologies along with other young writers. I believe my poetry is a gift, and I would love to pursue writing in the future.
In my web page you will find poems of all sorts, like: Short and Sharp Poems, Scary and Funny, Family and Friendship Poems, Father and Mother Poems, Freestyle and Seasons Poems, Animals, Haiku, Cute,Cinquain, Limericks, Mask, Teen, Love and Heart Broken, Alliteration Poems, Quatrain Poems, Pantoum Poems, Acrostic Poems, War, Nature Poems, Rhyming Poems, Onomatopoeia Poems, Pet Poems, Imagination and a lot more...
In the meantime I would like to thank my whole family for being there all the time, but mostly my Mum for not just being a Mum but a best friend too. I also want to thank my sister (Sonila), who also writes poetry, for helping me and being my role model.
So I suggest that if you want to find out more about my adventures and me, my bad habits and what I get up to, then you are going to have to read my excellent poems. I really hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

“Poetry is a different type of music. Words and verses
create pictures in our mind and stir our emotions. Marinela’s poetry
does this brilliantly. She captures and expresses the moods, the emotions,the feelings and the situation of the young, as well as the young at heart,be it her reflection on a tree or “Looking out my window” : or realising“I don’t know who I am”. “A Little Whisper” has a wide range of feelings and moods, be it the weather, the seasons or what possibly could lurk beneath our bed or the secret life of a pet! As a long time author of fiction, I do recommend this book of poetry to everyone of every age . Dr Paul C Doherty, B.A.,D.Phil (Oxon) F.R.S.A”
