Music

Pop, a pop of color streaks through the air then another. So many instruments, all different. At first I feel lost in this musical world but when the song begins to play that feeling drifts far far away. And I begin to feel excited, so many noises piano, keyboard electric guitar, tuba, so many. There is something about it that feels different. Different because I feel okay here like the music is running in my veins. But I have to leave this world all the happiness, joy, music, sounds, I slowly take off my headphones but I don’t worry because … Continue reading Music

Flames

Fire, fire, dancing relentlessly. Wind howling and making more blazing messes. Trees set aflame with one scorching breath. Creeping up to the sky. Sneaking up on leaves. Burnt branches scattered everywhere. Smoke drifting up. Flames roaring higher in the night. Spitting out more flames. Don’t get close to me. Continue reading Flames

Bully, Bully, Bully

Saying “C’mon Clumsy Chicken Carl!” just ’cause you’re not pleased? Their grin is a snake, About as evil as one too. Don’t make them make you a deep, sad blue. Plead and plead, they won’t take heed until you take action. When you take action, the meanness will fraction until you get what you need. Hate, hate, hate, Shame, shame, shame, Please stand up, it’s not a game. Continue reading Bully, Bully, Bully

Rubik’s Cube

A Rubik’s Cube is a work of art, it moves its arms but yet not apart, it talks to you: RUU’ FM’S!

What Would You Do If You’re The Moon

If You Were the Sun

Turn on the light when moon shuts off. Shine down on all living things. Slowly walk across the sky as hours pass. Paint the sky bright and blue. Go knock on moon’s door when you get tired. Throw on the blanket and your light fades away, and the blue has gone and black has come. And yellow is no longer seen but white is bright. That is what you would do if you were the sun. Continue reading If You Were the Sun
