A Life In A Poem

A Life In a Poem

I am from ballet shoes,
From a brother who is so perfect
That I know I will I never amount to.
I am from long days at the hospital.
I am from dreams that
Can only come true if you
Don’t stop trying.

I am from, “Time is Brain.”
From the girl who always
. Wants to fit in
I’m from the family that cares,
But in times of great need
They act like nothing is happening.
I’m from inspiring my father,
And myself to never give up
Because things get hard
Or someone says you can’t do it.
I am from music that saved

my father,

my family

And me.

Rain Noises

Rain Noises are very diverse
they have many sounds but then again so does this verse
I like the sound of rain
others translate it to pain

this poem was not an option
I am typing it as slow as an oxen
but let’s get back on topic
the thing that is pantropic

Rain noises

rain has many sounds
whenever it comes around
plink…plink..oh what am i getting at
It sounds fake like the rain in gujarat

But nobody knows where that is
And i bet they don’t know about spondylolisthesis
I hope you enjoyed my rain noises
I took many moments before this for some posies

Feather Falling

A fine feather falls
Silently
nobody notices

The moon lights its slow d e s c e n t
As the feather falls
like its in a dream

“Shhhh” said the Moon
to the Sun,
“Let the feather fall,
your work is done. The feather will be stronger because it fell.”

Sometimes the best thing you can do is let it rest.

Skiing

Mountain steep like a wall.

Faster and faster

And

I go
Crowded mountain
People are going slow
I don’t know how to stop
I go even faster
People are in front of me
I try to turn but slip
I slip on the slick slippery snow
Hit the guys skis
He slips and falls on me
Heavy as a rhino.

Its all worth it at the end

Writing a tritina poem is hard
It’s not only because of the order
But also because you need to put in work

When your doing things that take work
And time, it can sometimes get hard
When writing a tritina poem words have to be in order

Now I wish that they didn’t have to go in order
But that’s the kinda things that take hard work
To think about the stanzas and words, it can get hard

Life is hard, like a tritina, needs to be in order and you need to do work, but it’s all worth it at the end.

Time Freeze

I was minding my own business, walking down the street,
When I saw a blinding FLASH of light.
When I looked around, everything was frozen,
Airplanes stuck mid-flight.

I thought about what could have caused this,
Maybe I was in The Matrix?
But I knew that wasn’t true,
I think my mind was playing tricks.

All of a sudden I heard a loud BOOM,
And everything returned to normal.
I didn’t know what to do,
Because what I saw was definitely abnormal.

stormie

don’t breathe
if you do all your patients will
leave

so i stay still
crunching my fists
now taking a deep breath
but my eyes start to mist
i’m not holding on to the death
because im
fine

i just need time
just as the pain starts to wear away
the fire comes and sits to stay
i feel my heart pouring out
im fine i doubt.

Trouble

You will get in trouble if you keep this up
You will get in trouble if you don’t get better
You will get in trouble if you sip from that cup
You will get in trouble if you send that letter

She will get mad if you make a mess
She will get mad if you try to escape
She will get mad if you stain her dress
She will get mad if you rip her drape

Ms. will go crazy if you take candy
Ms. will go crazy if you make her cry
Ms. will go crazy if you drink her brandy
Ms. will go crazy if you try to spy

We are already locked up, in too much trouble
If we try again it will be double

You’re killin me smalls though he is tall
Warden dragged him down the hall

The Race

You jump at the sound of the B e

You paddle your hands through the Water
You kick your Feet
You no longer feel Hotter
Don’t give up you Say
You’re halfway There
The water starts to Spray
You take a Glare
Your in Last
You get in the Zone
You start to get Fast
You just Known

You won
