I walk along the crunchy path of leaves so old they’ll turn to ash, and soon shall winter bring its wrath, of snow and ice of loneliness, so now I must dare and ask if you’ll be brave and walk this path
Month: January 2023
False Hope
Hope is beautiful
But can be crushed easily
Just like ants crawling
stairs
up & down up & down
here I go again
every morning and night
up & down up & down
day and night
again and again
at school
at home
on the bus
in the gym
outside
stairs are everywhere
I think to my self
theirs stairs everywhere
The beautiful game
It’s a beautiful day to play soccer
The weather is perfect it feels so proper
Prepping for the game I sit and ponder
What would I do without soccer
I’d be such a sad little miserable boy
Soccer brings many people so much joy
Soccer is emotions and feeling and more
The beautiful game is way more then just a score
Music of The Forest
Birds singing softly
Hushed melody of the wind
The thumping of hooves
Glowstick Tree
Barely a stump now
poking out from a pool of trimmed grass
but I’m not processing this
because my eyelids are surfing over a canvas
painted black, splattered whites, blooming hues of rainbow
Snap! Pop!
“Come on,” whooped a boy I don’t recognize. “Let’s go put our lights under the big tree!”
Dogs
I love dogs because they are-
Cuddly
Funny
Furry
Loyal
Affectionate
Joyful
Dogs always cheer me up
We never realize that
they are one of the important members of our lives.
Martin Luther King
Freedom freedom, said Martin Luther King. Let us live in harmony, peace, and love for you and me. Freedom,freedom for you and me, let us live in peace and harmony. All people should be treated equally, stand up if somethings wrong, fight for what’s right and not for what’s wrong. We should work as a team,and we should not let skin color change things. We should all be treated equally, all he wanted was just peace and harmony. Colored people should not give up a bus seat and more just because there is difference in the world. We should all get along equally and live in harmony said Martin Luther King, who had a dream.
Villanelle Of The Now And Then
I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.
The world is burning around me.
I wish to close my eyes once more.
All I hear is music and allure.
The sun’s a warm comforting glow on my back.
I open my eyes and rise into The Anymore.
122, 123, 124, there’s no more going out of the door.
Laying on the floor that’s as cool as a wool blanket,
I wish to close my eyes once more.
It’s raining with water that numbs my core.
A breeze washes by that makes even the tree’s shiver.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.
No more going outside today with the boiling storm,
Hot enough to burn through the last tree on our street.
I wish to close my eyes once more.
The Anymore dawned with the oceans rising but we couldn’t care, too much of a bore.
I open my eyes and rise into the Anymore.
I wish to close my eyes once more.
Holiday Spirit
I really do enjoy a holiday
Like Halloween or Christmas Day, a time when I get to lay.
Most of the time I’m in a good mood
As there’s at least one thing that’s good.
On Diwali, they give sweets; Christmas has candy canes.
Sometimes holiday visits have dogs like Great Danes.
And whether it’s in Barcelona or Plano,
There’s always good music, from trombone to cello.
So as we head into the holiday season
Try to be happy, there’s more than one reason.
