Winter

Winter is the soft snow on my arm
Winter is the scent of warm, steamy hot chocolate on the table
Winter is the time of hats, scarves, mittens, an jackets
Winter is the time of warm and cozy socks near the fire
Winter is the festive holiday lights hanging up on walls
Winter is the carols upon the door
Winter is the smell of the pine trees drifting into your nose
Winter is cuddling with my pets
But most of all, Winter is love.

I am

I am caring and kind
I wonder if i will become a singer
I hear a siren’s lovely song
I see a mermaid dancing in water
I want a mermaid with a blue,sparkly tail
I am caring and kind

I pretend to have a pet dog or cat
I feel happy when I see a mermaid
I touch a mermaid’s orange, smooth tail
I worry about my death
I cry when an animal or family member dies
I am caring and kind

I understand other people’s feelings
I say mermaids are real
I dream about animals
I try to keep my family safe
I am caring and kind

Jellyfish

The Jellyfish’s glow is bright as the sun

Jellyfish are slimy like slime with too much water
Their tentacles is as sticky as maple syrup
Oh my, Oh my
Don’t let it sting you
Don’t give the jellyfish a dime
TO ME that’s a crime
They are also predators of the sea
I take a dip in the water
And all I see is the deep blue sea
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I was wrong
It came right after me!!!!

words

I don’t feel like writing

I don’t have a river of words
I can’t feel them in my heart
I can’t feel them in my head
I can’t see them in my mirror
I can’t hear them in my echo
I can’t drink them in my water
I can’t taste them in my food
I can’t smell them in my flowers I can’t sense them in my pencil they are simply not

here
there
or anywhere
but what I do have is a poem

The Angel & Demon

I am nothing
I can’t succeed Everything I do
Ends up in catastrophe I fail them
Again and Again
They might be happier Without me
As I enter the building
I see nothing
I am lonely in an empty hallway Colorless
My locker creaks open
It is as empty has my life
No happiness within
And there she comes
Bringing the sun with her
Behind her the school starts to gain color Suddenly I’m in a hallway with people Laughing,Talking and Joking
They all stare at her wondering
How can someone be this happy?
She is the Angel
Dressed in all colors except black
Walking towards me she makes my day
Her smile is a disease that you pray you won’t catch It is impossible to get mad at her
And then she goes away

After she leaves for class
I see guns coming over
They all take aim and start firing Nerd,Jerk,Roasts and Jokes all about me I try to shield myself but it’s no use They win again
And that’s when she enters
Dressed in all black she walks slowly Her black eyes set on one target
Me and the bullies
The Red sea splits in front of her She carries her own sword and shield She is the Demon
She fight the guns
One by One
After she destroys them all She helps me up
Her eyes are calm
But her aura is dangerous She brushes the dust of me And leaves
The day goes on
And I wonder
Why?
Why do they help me
That Angel and Demon
I finally work up the courage To ask them Why?
And they say
That’s what friends are for
You are not who you think you are
And they are right
I’m not just a flimsy girl used as a distraction

I’m not just a target for guns I’m a queen
A queen who’s ruling a country They are both my friends
My sister in arms
They are the two sides of me
And I’m the balance between those two sides
I’m happy and kind
And I’m dangerous and merciless I’m good and evil
I’m cruel and nice
I’m the Angel
I’m the Demon
I’m both
I’m everything

The Little Girl in the Gown

I sit in bed.
Pondering.
Waiting
For my thoughts
To drift off
Into the silent
Night.

The phone rings,
“BRING”
So I answer.

“Is this the girl?
The girl in the
white dress?”
A middle aged
Lady asked.
“No,”
I respond.
“I think you have
The wrong number”
The lady hangs up
With a final sigh and
“Thank you”

I wonder back
To my empty
Bed.
I sit back in
The spot I was in
Before
The call.
I look down at
My nightgown.
An old dirty white
Contrasted against my
Dark brown skin.

I look back at the
Phone.
Wondering
If she wanted me,
But how could
A nice sounding
Lady
Like her be
Looking for
Someone
Poor
Like me?

A Conversation

O Dragon, O Dragon, how sharp are your teeth?
As sharp as the daggers that are under your feet.
O Dragon, O Dragon, how strong are your claws?
As strong as the teeth in a great white shark’s maw.
O Dragon, O Dragon, how long is your tail?
As long as the length of the mighty blue whale.
O Dragon, O Dragon, how sharp is your glare?
As sharp as the spikes on a porcupine’s hair.
O Dragon, O Dragon, how big is your mouth?
I don’t know that yet, but you’ll soon find out…

Lonely

I have many friends
Athletic friends,
Smart friends,
Creative friends,
All types of friends
I meet all of them every day………
Virtually

Sometimes, I wish I could meet my friends in person
Share feelings, not emojis
Share experiences, not pictures
Play board games, not online gaming
I feel alone in the midst of technology
Lonely

I have many friends
I meet all of them every day

Life

Life is like a river.
Sometimes it runs through so smooth,
And then hits you hard like you’d never think it would.
Life is like friendship.
Sometimes you’re at your highest having the best time.
Then,
It leaves you in a disgusted betrayal.
Life is like a path that’s yet to be discovered.
Though we think we know how to defeat it,
There’s no victory in life.
You can make life however you would like,
But.
Because we are so interested in how life works
And how to figure it out
And how to become the best
And live the ideal life
We don’t realize that without a life there’s
No passion
No emotions
No world
No us.
Therefore instead of comparing,
the life we have to other things….
We accept it.
