False Conparisons

As quiet as a football stadium
Everyone cheering as the home team scores
You could hear a pin drop

As exciting as a game of Chess
Thinking and strategizing about your next move
What a thriller!

As easy as golf
Just swinging a stick at a ball
Takes no skill at all!

As boring as a roller coaster
Just sitting there in a seat
Anywhere else would be twice as neat

Mushrooms

Just standing there
In the open field of grass
Just looming of the green grass stalks
All of them waiting watching wondering when they will be picked
quivering in the wind, still waiting watching wondering
Then it sees a blur of brown drift through the wind
The brown specs being spores to plant more of its kind
The specs finally settle in the forest
All of them just waiting watching wondering like the rest of their kind
Then they all hear a loud thud
As a deep brown boot comes out
Then the person plucks some lightly out of the ground
Wanting to taste the gooey goodness
There are still more of them
All still waiting watching wondering
Waiting watching wondering
Waiting watching wondering…

 

Kitty Love

When I walk up to my room,
when I’m coming up the stairs,
I see some little kitty eyes,
not one but two cute pairs.

They come right out to greet me,
one’s perky, one is shy,
they come to me excitedly,
joy glinting in their eyes.

When I see them I feel it,
a splash that weighs a ton,
and that could come from just one place,
a bucket of kitty love!

 

Belief In Blue

Those that protect us,
constantly berated and bombarded,
with the simple words of those who know too little
to even completely comprehend the complex circumstances
of the situations they are placed in.

Those that protect us,
put themselves in the way of
the harm that would inevitably come our way.
Without them we would be completely powerless
to stop those that prey on the helpless.

Those that protect us,
are constantly in fear
they have reached the point where
they have to fear those that mean them harm
and even those that revered them.

Those that protect us,
Will not let it phase them.
Continuing to protect and serve
even when those that they are here for
slowly turn towards opposing viewpoints.

Those that protect us,
constantly berated and bombarded,
with the simple words of those who know too little
to even completely comprehend the complex circumstances
of the situations they are placed in.

The place on earth
Is somewhere close by.
Now, you may sit and wonder
“where is this place, Sky?”

It’s a good thing you asked.
Let me tell you all I know.
It’s the best place on earth.
It’s my favorite place to go.

What’s that sound I hear?
It’s the donkeys out there
Going hee haw hee haw
Jumping around like they don’t care.

I see milk and oreos.
No, that’s just the cow.
Their names are Ana and Kristoff.
Isn’t that cool?! Wow!

Baa Baa white sheep
They’re so fluffy and cute.
I love them a lot
In their black and white suit.

Holy piggy!
That’s Charlotte the pig.
She eat everything in the world
That’s why she’s so big.

Sparkle the horse
Is so pretty and sweet.
She has a baby in her tummy
And she stomps her mini feet.

One, two, six
Wait there are eight and now ten
I keep counting Corgis
All the way to the end.

Birds, cats, and guinea pigs
There are so many animals to see.
This magical place is my Mema’s.
It’s the best
