Monkeys

Monkeys swinging in the trees,
Up high in the branches with the greatest of ease.
Their tails are long and their fur is brown,
They chatter and play as they move around.
They love to eat bananas, oh so sweet,
And they’ll swing and they’ll play until they’re beat.
They’re playful and curious, always on the go,
They’re the life of the party, don’t you know.
So let’s all give a cheer for the monkeys up high,
They bring joy and laughter to the sky.
They may be mischievous, but they’re full of fun,
They’re and delight to watch, one by one.

Water Bottle

I am made of metal
Not quite as light as a petal
Inside water to hydrate me and you
Just like how the ocean is blue
When your heart’s about to burst,
I’ll be sure to quench your thirst
I’ll always be with you,
no matter what you do
just wait, you’ll see
I’ll be there when you need.

Covid

COVID
(for my sister)

Do you remember
what it was like
Before?

It’s OK
If you
don’t;
you were only
six, I, nine

I can remember.

Can you tell
me
what it was like
Before?
To be able to hug
and shake hands
Without Hesitation?

to not worry about
Your
Family members
dying?

You might not
but I do

So when you ask
What was it like
Before?

I’ll tell you
About the flowers
and trees
Not about the sad things
Because the Before is gone
And while we hold onto memories
We need to learn to let go, too

Rattling for Warning

I slither I slide,
Basking in the sun, I’m warm and dry.
Sleeping in the sun, I shed my skin,
My skin is soft.
My scales are like stars,
They are like shining shards.
Somethings loud, it’s a mouse.
I’m as quiet as a crocodile,
I used my lifestyle.
I swallow that mouse,
Now I’m delighted.
As I enjoy my meal,
I shake to a sudden feel.
It is the trotting of the cattle.
The cattle were like declaring battle.
I knew I had to rattle.
They knew I had my venom,
I knew they were going to volt,
And it resulted in no fail.

snowy trees

White covers every surface,
blanket tucking me in,
cold and comforting safe and warm.
Nothing disturbs my peace,
until.. my squirrel resident.
Trees support them, they support us,
He curls in tight,
and keeps me warm,
in bed he rests, goodnight friend.
All is grey white,
the air is frozen,
A dark winter is coming soon.
when branches turn barren ,
it`s hard to remember,
that our forest shall bloom again.

I cannot go to school today

I cannot go to school today said little Peggy Anne Makay
If only she knew how you feel
You wish you could call in sick but that excuse was exhausted years ago
Years? Or months, days? No, it couldn’t be. Much longer than that wasn’t it?
When had this crushing sadness, searing anger, and helplessness truly
surrounded you? A feeling that you can’t place for your life.
But secretly you are growing stronger the feeling consuming you no longer!
Yes, you still can’t place the feeling but it bothers you less and less. you know it won’t fully go away not for a long long time but you won’t let it stop you any longer.
