Oh, food, your vibrant flavors are immeasurable! You are as loud and as beautiful as a firework! Oh, food, you are the snap of an apple a crunch of a chip, a sizzle of a steak, and a pop of a grape! Oh, food, you make me feel warm and fuzzy inside! Oh, food, you make me think I can’t live without you. Continue reading Ode to Food

You can’t do that You’re a girl There’s so many thing that are “can’t do” in this world My favorite color is chocolate swirl That’s a boy color and you’re a girl This world would be good if we all unfurl Take something from a boy and give it to a girl “Aaaaah,” What’s that? You scream like a girl How does a girl scream? We need change in this world Everybody in this world Come out of that ball, you can uncurl If sexism is a thing, why don’t we take all the goodness out of this world Because … Continue reading Sexism

I am from grassy turf and hard concrete. I am from dirty shoes and messy tables. I am from shouts of, “You have to be stronger there!”And, “Come on, you can do this!” I am from dog hair and sloppy licks. I am from the surge of energy flowing through me. I am from Mom’s bean soup and vegetable pie. I am from hours at Prospect Park exploring nature. I am from England, Cape Cod, and Upstate New York. I am from nasty bruises and itchy bites. I am from laughing with friends on FaceTime. I am from Camp Becket, … Continue reading I’m From Poem

Locked up for what seemed for ages Infinite things that kept me out Chains keeping me in forever Nothing seems right Nothing seems wrong Time is keeping me out second by second Just like being lost with no knowledge where to go There is no beginning or end I am stuck in between I am as lost as an odd number The time is ticking, but I am still here Steeples, mountains that go on for centuries It has seemed as time is immortal Years, years have passed I can’t think right now Everything is decaying It seems that I … Continue reading Eternity

A wisp of mist and glow You float through foggy nights Forever lost in the world Living in abandoned sights Swimming with the stars Drinking from the rain Healing your past scars Abandoning the pain Your body now lies Peaceful in the ground Your soul lets out a sigh For death has you earthbound Continue reading The Phantom’s Soul

Feel for it Attempt to grasp it But it scurries away from you, trying to hide You cannot withstand the need to find The one thing you have always been seizing, Has left you distraught and wheezing . . . But in the end you will only discover That this thing cannot be touched, It cannot be mangled or pulled at, Only desired . . . By many before you And when the hope to find it just might fall, The realization comes from within you That what you are looking for has been Right there in front of you Continue reading The Discovery

Endless void going on and on Trying to grasp it, but stuck and troubled Never-ending rain, until the light The bright rainbow of colors dancing, lighting up your dark pit of black, It was the lightest dark Your hand stretches that bit farther to grasp everything that’s important to you. You still see some evaporate, flutter into the forever lost. But you don’t care, you have what you need, friends, family, and all else. Don’t remember the rain, be happy when the sun comes up, and makes a rainbow. Continue reading Memories

I used to be tall Ready to fight at any moment Now I am small Prepared to run away at any second I used to be an upstander, a protector Now I am being crushed against the wall In the hall In the school, I used to love, but, now I hate, because of all the bullies I used to yell “STOP” To protect others Now I do nothing to Protect myself I used to have courage To be a fighter To stand up Now I wait And I wait And I wait For something to happen to Make me ready … Continue reading Fight

The color green splashes on the vines that grow tall and strong, reaching. The color green is the glorious mint chocolate chip on an ice cream that shines that green minty color. Yum. The color green is the tree’s leaves, the green that gets painted on Bob Ross’s paintings. The color green is glorious joy of light green, the dark storms of dark green, the grossness of throw-up green. The color green is the loud noise that plays over and over like a tambourine. The color green is the spiciness and the color of wasabi. It’s the color that gives … Continue reading The Color Green

Midnight came And the time for the full moon hunt, had begun the sky, black as the darkest shadows Dotted with tiny pinpricks of light Of the full moon As midnight had come, with the full moon The great clock tower of the city Struck at the stroke of midnight, echoing for miles around As midnight had come, so had the darkness The sun began to close His wide, bright red, orange, and yellow eye Darkness began to spread, as all light, winked out As midnight had come, the city began to fall asleep And when the moon rose high … Continue reading Midnight

Downtown Brooklyn, the old nasty club. Big, built men arguing, I’m a big jock. This slim man, Jim, comes in. Takes a punch to the face, but Oh no, this guy, Jim, is not a disgrace.

My lies were not Gucci, weren’t a clear path to justice And needless to say no cure for cancer They weren’t no climate change extractor, No serum for any wound But my lies had passion, had greatness, had tears, They had relief, had all my emotions, were in my lies, And that’s the truth, because it’s my lies and me.
