If the sun is the day Then what is the moon? If the moon is night Then what is light? Is it day Or is it night? If it is day Then what is the sun? And if it is night Then what is the moon? If a dog is big, Then what is small? How long until The sun decides to break? And how will we live If we don’t have its touch? What is a star To the human eye? What is bright But not the sky? And if the sky falls apart What will be Left of … Continue reading The Future

Hey! Ancient Greece? Why is your mythology SO VIOLENT?! I mean, why does Persephone get kidnapped in a field of VIOLETS?! Why does Zeus always accidentally kill his girlfriends?! Why does Hera hate Zeus’ other wives? Why does Hermes become a messenger god? Why does Dionysus make wine? Why does Hades choose the Underworld for his turf?! Why doesn’t Gaia come up with the idea to save her children sooner? WHY WHY WHY, GREEK MYTHOLOGY?! Why do satyrs run so wild? How does a god bear a child? WHY WHY WHY, GREEK MYTHOLOGY?!

Birds chirping in skies With not a single sacrifice Trees growing on the ground Making a cool breeze sound All the fish In the seas twinkling Of the sunlight All the planets floating in space While we down here Are tying our shoelaces A volcano Silence first Then erupts on water Turning lava into stone Making an island That we people live on. Planet Earth is our home. Continue reading Earth

Tree, why do you never talk to me? Why do your branches blow in the wind? Why do you never walk with a grin? Oh, forget it. You probably do not hear me ‘cause you’re a tree. You can’t hear me. Wait, you can’t hear me, why am I talking to you? Continue reading Tree

Fish! Fish! Of quietness What do you think of the frost that covers your pond in the wintertime? No flowery shores, just a lot of grime Just think of how happy you could be in summer! The heron, in summer a great, big shape What trouble he can cause! What a great escape! Hey, fish! How can you leave That great heron standing there? Come on, don’t grieve, But the heron’s stomach’s bare And, fish, don’t you want to be fair? Go on don’t wait But I guess you’re the bait.

A frog leaps. A step of joy. What a serene, peaceful, mind. A koi swims. A flutter of greeting. What a nice, clam, dance. I sit by the fire. It jumps in surprise. Yet still, I come. The welcoming, warming, leap of the flames. All is well in my cottage. Near the pond. In the garden weed. No screeching toads. No dragonfish, No wildfires, Just serene, calm, happy, peace. Continue reading Garden Greeting

There are different types of ice cream Such as lemon and mercury. When you’re at practice you can use cactus. If you are a nice fellow you should use rice jello. I don’t recommend this flavor called grass. It tastes like dirt and has a great mass. If you like all the flavors that I have you should go to Haagen Daz. Continue reading Lie Poem

As we sit and go about our day, Our whole little world stands A little taller And our nature shrinks a little smaller. Everyday we chop trees in their slumber, But do we really need this much lumber? Everyday we devour all this paper Stamping it with ink, And making drawings that look okay, Just to crumple them up and throw them away, Means buying more paper for the very next day. More trees crashing to the ground, Makes animals hurt all around As our air gets more polluted, Where are those trees we cut away? They’re not here to … Continue reading Wasted

I walk outside Boiling hot It feels like I’m in a boiling pot. 100 degrees in mid April Why is this happening Why is this happening Why is this happening I look at the sun getting bigger every year Listening to the ocean swallowing our tears When we look at a fish The only thing we see is PLASTIC When I look at the sidewalks the only thing I see Is trash Trash Trash T.R.A.S.H Is what they will be spelling at the next Spelling bee we need to save our Earth You need to listen to me.

Stepping into the place, Seeing children my age, Doing flips and turns and twists on the bars, Doing cartwheels off the beam, And front tucks off the vault, Jumping and flipping and twisting on the floor, Oh, I see so much more, Hearing noises like “hey coach can I get some water?” And “oh, that felt good,” Just wishing I was one of them, Doing gymnastics feels good. Continue reading Gymnastics

Your wings bent When you left your chrysalis So you watch Your only companions Fly away to birth eggs As you once were But you stayed Unable to fly Unable to leave So I kept you And fed you And gave you a home Let you crawl on my finger As if it was a tree branch As your siblings left the mesh box And the sounds of their flapping wings left the air I watched you Like a mother watches a child And loved you like that too Until you left the windowsill I loved you. Continue reading The Butterfly on the Windowsill

As I stay on my door MY door. No one else’s. I order the humans to go. Stupid little red dot owns the back of my door. But I know that the door likes me better Because I let her swish and swoosh and swoop But sometimes the students don’t Listen to Red Dot and burst out from the back Then (of course) Red Dot blames me But I know I did nothing wrong.
