I Agree

There is nothing of you
until someone; you don’t know who
makes you bloom
the warm sky shines on your bare bark
planted under he silver moon
covering and protecting the city park

but then

the tropic air becomes brisk, like a high up cliff, you don’t want to risk
you leaf-like happiness falling to the ground
the ground was painted in red, orange, and bright yellow
and your forlorn bark was colored dark grey all round

until

the sun in your eyes brightens the day
for ones who are near you, and those who are far away
your leaves shimmering green
the trunk of you, bigger than the eyes have seen
tree and leaf, like hand and hand
they all believe in me
and I can happily say, “I agree.”

Summers Air

The air is moist and somewhat hollow- metaphor
and my mouth is dry from the scorching heat- metaphor
as a drop of sweat tumbled down my face

I looked at the wild berries wondering if they would swell my face
I take a deep breath sucking in the earth’s hollow
the air is quiet and sounds lonely in the heat

as my body sucks in the earth’s heat
and while my sweat absorbs into my face
the trees are silent in the distance of the hollow.

You’ll see it in my face, this heat is dangerous lurking around in the hollow.
The only thing I capitalized is I and T. I did that because that is my rule of a poet.

Christmas

Because I could not present for Christmas,
it did kindly present for me.
Pause to present, like Christmas does.

Why would you think the heavenly home is uncomfortable?
The heavenly home is the most comfortable housing of all.
Hospitable, humble, heavenly home.
Are you upset by how well-fixed it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the heavenly home so snug?

One afternoon I said to myself,
“Why aren’t glad greetings more hostile?”
Are you upset by how intimate they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the glad greetings so favorable?

A contemporary claus, however hard it tries,
Will always be cunning.
Are you upset by how attractive it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the contemporary claus so ingenious?

Zany, famous festivals sings like a greek culture
Now goofy is just the thing,
To get me wondering if famous festivals are wacky.

How happy are Joyful, commemorative celebrations!
Now overjoyed is just the thing,
To get me wondering if commemorative celebrations are happy.

I cannot help but stop and look at chilly, ancient season.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the ancient season,
Gently they go – the chill, the unfriendly, the unemotional.

Because I could not present for Christmas,
it did kindly present for me.
Pause to present, like Christmas does.

voice

my voice
my voice is my weapon
gleaming bright in the suns rays
shining a path through darkness
leading me along winding roads

my voice
when mountains stand in my way
as tall as the sky
making me feel like nothing

my voice
reminds me that I too,
can stand as tall as a mountain
not letting
anything
make me feel like
nothing

My voice

The Kings Of London

The cold air at Stamford Bridge makes your nose red
The Blues are warming up
While the opposition is in bed

The king of all kings hops onto the pitch
He’s ready to work
and bury the opponents in a nearby ditch
Then they’ll have heard
They’re dealing with
EDEN HAZARD(1)

The Kings of london
They live in the west
And it’s for certain that they are the best

Certain Winter Break

Certainly, no one probably even cares to worry,
But I’ll be certainly fine.
As I leave this certain place today,
I certainly know that in two hours,
It’s certainly time for me to go…to the airport.
Where I will certainly see my mom,
And give her a certain edible candy gift.
And certainly soon then,
I certainly won’t be here in Texas for a few 192 hours.
But certainly, I will temporarily be in California.
A little FAR away from here, I’m certain.
Some people could certainly see me as busy,
Because California is certainly
Where I will spend my certain time
Walking on the certain ground.
Running on the certain grass.
Surveying on the certain sidewalk.
Dodging certain, cold, chilly water forms thrown from a team of taller, moody clouds**.
Eating on a certain chair.
Sleeping on a certain bed.
Playing with my certain brothers.
And certainly enjoying my very own presence.
But I certainly can’t enjoy my very own presents just yet.
I’m certain it’s no.
Certainly not yet.
I’m certain that instead happens in Arizona.
Where I will certainly celebrate
Certainly decorate
And certainly believe
At CHRISTMAS, I’m certain!
WIth possibly ice and certainly smooth, sticky, slimy snow***.
In an apartment, certainly.
A really certain apartment.
And certainly soon then,
I’ll certainly have to leave another place. Again.
But that’s certainly okay!
It’s………It’s certainly fine.
Especially since such a certain new year comes close.
C L O S E R .
T H E C L O S E S T I T C A N B E .
Such a certain new year.
2019.
(Someday, this poem may seem certainly dated.)
BUT A NEW YEAR WILL CERTAINLY COME!
A certain new year.
Where I certainly hope that
Every event happens on the certain, same, similar time.
But certainly a little more differently.
Certain, same, similar.
But certainly a little more differently.
Like I said…
Certainly, no one probably even cares to worry,
But I’ll be certainly fine.
Have a certain winter break, everyone!

Basketball

Dribble, squeak, swish, tweet, clang, brick, thump
these are the sounds of basketball

Dribble, dribble, dribble, squeak, thump, swish,
this is driving the lane and shooting a layup,
taking 3 dribbles then two steps and a quick shot off the backboard

On defense it goes slide, slide, slide, squeak, thump, swat
this is sliding and then getting set and blocking a shot

Dribble, pass, squeak, squeak, thump, dribble,
dribble, swish
This is dribbling, then passing, so my teammate scores, when the ball is
In the air for what felt like an eternity, but the ball finally goes in

This sport brings me joy

Life is a staircase

Dear self,

life i s n ‘ t p e r f e c t
your life is like a staircase
when you break a board on a staircase
your life is broken with all the sadness

C
L
I
M
B
when you the stairs and reach the top
your life is filled with all the years you have reached too

when you get on the stairs and get a splinter that you can get out
life is filled with problems that you can overcome
when you see the colorful boards on a staircase
Your life is overfilled with all the joy you have encountered in your life!!
