Feeling Mexico

As we drive
I see birds
high in the sky.
I close my eyes and imagine
I am a bird
flying all the way to Mexico.
I can taste the chamoy raspas.
I can hear the mariachi
and church bells.
I feel my heart jump.
Below me, I see trees
dancing in the wind.
I don’t want to open my eyes
but when I do I’m back in the car
and we’re still driving.
I look up and see the sign:
“Welcome to Mexico.

Four Season

There were four sisters
Each had magical powers
They all cared for each other
Winter the coldest
Hearted sister she
Was yet the oldest
Only kind to her sisters
She hid from everyone
Autumn the second to oldest
Always the loneliest
Never liked Summer
She was always a bummer
Spring was able to
bring life to all plants
helping small creatures like ants
Only the youngest
Yet the funniest
Summer always made it hot
Never liked Autumn
Always hit her in the bum
The third oldest
Always responsible
Yet not that likeable
Together they manage the seasons
Always switching
Always fighting

Animals of Emotion

Fear is the thing that haunts you.
It keeps you up at night.
It protects you from hate,
But not from fear itself.
It is the thing that warns you
Of the future and its dangers.
Fear is the black panther.
Love is a feeling
you get when you meet
the one person in your life
who makes you feel whole .
It makes you feel happy.
It makes you feel sad.
It has many meanings.
One is where you feel empty.
Love is the white dove.
