Bunnies

Furry and soft
So cute,so cute,
And sweet.
Heartwarming, calm.
Bunnies

If you want one as a pet,
I promise you won’t regret
There sweet,calm black eyes
Bunnies

Hopping everywhere
Tomorrow is the day!
I know it. I can tell
Bunnies

Laying down in the bunny bed
There here! There here!
1, 2, and 3, I count
Look there’s number 4!
Baby Bunnies

Sleeping on the soft bedding
So calm and quiet
So tuckered out. aww!
All I
all I can hear is the heater
That is keeping the bunnies warm
Sleeping Baby Bunnies,
GOOD NIGHT

The Beach

The tan, rocky sand
brushes my feet.
Warmer than the water,
cooler than the sun.

The wet waves clap
when they reach the sand bank.
Umbrellas rise and
chairs unfold.

The fresh, salty air
tastes smooth by the sea.
The wind flies free
as I swim gleefully.

Courage

The soft music plays
My heart so tenderly
I long
To be the
Music
To give
My part
Yet I am
Trapped
In a cage woven of
Worry and hurt
I long for
The notes
To dance
From my mouth
I long for
The light to shine
But the sky
Is gray
I long to
Take a stance
Yet I am
Trapped
And the key is hidden

Modern Freedom

Wish,
Work,
Wait.
Freedom.
A goal that is reached,
Not given.

The finish line at the end of a race.
A race to believe,
To make people believe.
In me,
In us,
In all.

Imagine

Lying in bed
Thinking,
If you can be
Whoever you want,
Why?

Why do people look at you funny as you walk through the same halls.
Wearing the same clothes.
Everyone has the same goal:
Fit in.

A modern freedom.
You fit,
You are free.
Wait,
Wish,
Work.

Ghosts

The power’s out
I’ve seen something
Should be running away

The lights come on
Now I see them
Now i’m running away

They’re
Coming
Rushing
Flying towards me
Really running away

They’re chasing me
They’re everywhere
Goodbye home

Summer

On a bright summer
Day a bunny hopping
Here and there
Birds chirping loudly
Flowers blooming
On days like this
There are kids
Swimming playing
And messing around
All having fun
In the sun

The soft summer
Breeze blowing
My hair
The water
As blue as
The sky
The fish
Tickling my
Feet as
I slowly step
In the pond

Snow

Can’t wait to go back
Great, freezing, laughter.
Not often enough

Digging tunnels, giggling
Collapsing snow, sledding
Funny snowmen

Soft, packed snow
White fast snow balls
Strong forts

Brrr chilly and perfect to me.
