Vicki Samson—Poet, Pickering, Ontario

Vicki Samson began writing poetry approximately 12 years ago. As a unique gift for friends she writes poems that capture their personalities and/or special events, while she also writes personalized poems for other people based on information she is given about their personalities and traits. She is a lover of business writing, and proofing and editing and presently runs a home-based personal assistant/concierge business.

The Rose

Oh beauteous rose
of fragrant scent.
How proudly you pose
on your stem of thorns
as you slowly awaken
to burst forth your potential.
A paradox of love and pain
emanating from one majestic bloom.

Survival

A spider’s web, like woven silk
A delicate framework of intricate mystery
Hanging by a gossamer thread
Its prey captured, unscathed until the kill
No effusion of emotion
Just a device for existence
Like the predator that stalks its hunt
A mission intent only on the end result
The irony of life and death
Procreation or extinction
or simply survival of the species
