Walk in the Park

Trees capturing the light enveloping you in shadow Bush rustling drowned out by the happy cries of children Trees grasping and clinging, scraping your shoulder Sweet berries hitting your tongue, a joyous taste Brushing your hand against the soft, rough ferns while inhaling the wet trees smelling of damp sawdust Continue reading Walk in the Park

The Water Fight

Augie at Night

Pit pat pit pat. Tiny footsteps get louder. The door opens a crack. A tiny head pokes in. Mew! The bed sinks a little. A cat face peers down at me. It sniffs, and I feel whiskers. I pet Augie’s head. I fall asleep with a thought that I have company. Zzz. Continue reading Augie at Night

Baseball

Hot sun, dripping sweat. Holding a bat behind my back. Running, sliding, listening to the roaring fans. Yucky spit gets into my throat, spitting it out. Hot air gets into my lungs, I let it out. CRACK I swing my bat. I run to first base The crowd goes wild. I round third, I head for home So does the ball. SAFE the crowd goes wild I high five my teammates. Continue reading Baseball

S’mores

A fire on a few logs. Grownups and kids roasting s’mores with chocolate galore. The waves crashing the shore. The moon is full. While the kids dance around. Kids sipping on lemonade and crunching cookies. Adults are sipping coffee. They all clink their glasses and look up at the stars. And say, “To the greatest of days to come.” Continue reading S’mores

Outer Space

Outer space, outer space, outer space Very silent outer space. Space is very silent. You can barely feel anything. Can’t hear anything. Very dark, very silent, very dark outer space. Outer space. Very, very silent. Continue reading Outer Space

Family Meal

I can hear the sizzling pan next to me. And the taps running water rides through my ear. I feel the plates and forks clashing in my hands. The heat from the stove burns my butter. The bright sun blinds me as I walk to the tap. The feeling of gathering together for a family meal is in the air. Continue reading Family Meal

Costa Rica

Sun gleams down on the thick trees as the monkeys howl and screech You hear the ocean waves get louder and louder, crashing in the distance I smell old fruit rotting as I feel the gentle rain flow gracefully down on me And I breath in the thick, humid air and the wet leaves sway, the birds call, the wind blows I am in heaven Continue reading Costa Rica

Poconos

Bright sun peeking through the through the trees As the birds chirp As kids laugh and play in the leaves As bugs hum in the light of day While happiness flows over my body And when I see something funny I can’t help but to laugh. I love when I get homemade muffins That melt in my mouth. Then later when I go outside I smell wet leaves and the smell of deer. I can’t help myself in this wonderful place, So I all I do is take a deep breath and jump for joy. Continue reading Poconos

The Forest

As me and Yaya walk along the overgrown path Jeff’s out-house comes into view. I love it like a dressing room. A salamander scurries across our path to a mushroom as the dim light shines on the creek through the trees. As we walk up to the creek the sound of wildlife fills the air. As we walk up the path to the creek the sand and dirt feel cold on my feet. I find a tall rock in the water it’s slippery but I grip it with my feet. I feel like I’m the queen of the creek. The sound … Continue reading The Forest

Fish

I look down in the water, I see my reflection. I wonder what it would be like to be a fish. I see a koi fish. It is big, fast and orange. I wonder if it knows what a toy is. I don’t think it’s the right fish for me. I see a sea bass. I think it sees me! The sea bass looks as shiny as glass. I see myself in the water. I smile at myself, pretty And happy as ever. I realize, I don’t want to be a fish. I want to be me. Continue reading Fish
