Back in 1992,
when I was 2,
I liked the color blue.
I had a friend named Lou.
We both liked the color blue.
His name was Lou, my name was Hue.
So that’s what happened in 1992.

My Lost Toy
Why did you leave me?
Did I do something wrong?
How could you forget the key?
And set off the bomb?
I’ve flown over a thousand flights,
Waiting for a child to claim me.
And just pick me up out of sight.
Flying over the glistening blue sea.
Hey look, someone’s coming!
Hopefully, to take me.
But I won’t turn out bumming,
If it’s not easy.
Shattered
I am from crying babies
From lonely nights
And warm evenings
I am from the giant grey building looming in the distance
I am from cherry blossoms
And faux flowers
From the doorstep of a school and lost secrets
I am from gliding boats soaring from the rivers
And god above
I’m from dark hair flying in the breeze
From sticky rice and warm soup
I am from the spicy Hunan girls
I am from nowhere and somewhere
Dark eyes and fortune cookies
From the taken and received
I am from the mirror
Each shred and glass
And now in forever
family
cookie
As I ran off the mint green grass
I could smell the freshly baked cookies
My dogs barking in the background
I could almost taste them
So happy as they come out of the oven
So squishy and gooey
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
tell me what is best of all.
I should think that you should not,
I do not know what I have thought.
Being tight is not so right,
You and I have little light.
Nothing
Nothing.
Nothing.
How can we have everything, but still have Nothing?
Why do we spend all of our time Trying?
Trying.
Trying to grab the world but in the end,
We have Nothing.
Not a thing to our names,
But everything we want.
Flash the Cat
Flash runs in a dash,
he can never catch a rash.
Flash is very cute,
but he is mute.
Flash like’s milk
and his purr is like silk.
Flash chases mice,
but he is very nice.
Flash is always on my street,
but he is very sweet.
He always does tricks,
but he is never sick.
And that’s my very brave
and beautiful Flash.
Weird Animal
There is a weird animal who sleeps in the dark.
Even sometimes is barks.
Sometimes he gets out,
and roams about.
I’ll tell you what it is,
it is very big!
Finally, it is a dog.
And sometimes it sleeps in a log?!
Hahaha! 🙂
The Talking Parrot
One day I went to go buy a parrot,
then I went to go buy it some carrots.
I took my parrot home to go play,
we played lots of different games.
I sat down in a chair and asked my parrot “how old are you?”
He said, “grrrr, how old are you?!”
My parrot has really colorful feathers like green and pink.
But his favorite thing is to copy, he also likes to jump, that’s why I called him Hoppy.
He loves me and I love him, we’re friends.
I also have other animals, they’re hens.
He is really nice to me and I’m nice to him.
We’re best buddies, I will always be his buddy.
Solar System
Eight planets around the sun, listen as I call each one:
Mercury? Here’s number one, closest to the sun.
Venus? Here’s number two, shining bright, just like new.
Earth? Here’s number three, Earth is home to you and me.
Mars? Here’s number four, red and ready to be explored.
Jupiter? Here’s number five, largest planet that’s no jive.
Saturn? Here’s number six, with rings of dust and ice that mix.
Uranus? Here’s number seven, the planet closest to heaven.
Neptune? Here’s number eight, with one dark sport who’s size is great.
