Midnight

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

Lies and Me

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.

In the dark, you can’t see The many monsters that will make you flee If they scare you, you will—oh, not in your pants! The little ones will leave you in a trance They will make you go silly and do their little dance Even a flashlight won’t help It will bring them right towards you Don’t bring a sword because they are filled with goo Also a little bit of stinky—wait, hold up, not that stuff! They could also have the monster flu So, stay aware of the monster scare Continue reading Monster Scare

Larger Than Life Itself

I was born from the bang that started it all Aphrodite braided my hair Mount Olympus is my dollhouse The gods are just pawns in the deadly game of living The sun’s gaze keeps me warm as I drift through burning splinters that light up the dark I raced against time But it grew old and tired of running a Millenia to the furthest corners Of the universe just to lose I’m not a god I’m better And larger than life itself Continue reading Larger Than Life Itself

Sound

Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick Click clock click clock click clock click Tick tock tick tock tick tock tock All the sounds All around Is sound When you jump you hit the ground Then you make a sound When waters running down your drain When you hear the drone of planes When you hear the click of a button Or the sound of the beat When you hear the sound of someone’s feet The crunch of the snow under your feet The sound when lakes freeze The end of a word caught in the breeze Continue reading Sound

Shall I Compare Thee to a Winter’s Night?

(Inspired by William Shakespeare) Thy eyes shimmer as softly as elegant snowflakes dropping from the heavens above. Thy fingers dance merrily among the snowdrops, as thy summer petals wither away. Rough winds do shake the dying buds of December. As the moonlight shines upon thou ow’st aureate skin. Glowing like thy fire ball floating around us. Guiding warmth and comfort to our dwelling. But thy also stank of the wretched egg salad, So then I shall leave you To eat your kale and gluten-free burrito. Continue reading Shall I Compare Thee to a Winter’s Night?

Run

The birds chirp in the distance Until the bombing starts Great black balls, with little holes All the moles in the distance Run for their lives My dad says, “Run” My mom says, “Run” My brother says, “Run” So, I do I run faster than I ever had before The sun starts to boil I hear shouting in the distance, “Run, run, little girl!” That’s when I realize the bomb So I do But it is to late I am DONE Continue reading Run

Out My Window

You’re in the ocean Your friend gives you poison You hit her in the face She runs at you in a pace You run and fall She looks very tall You go to the mall After she called The next day You go to a bay You go and say That she will pay She is really just a big lump of hay Continue reading That Girl

Waiting

This is a poem I wrote it when Rain filled the sky I don’t know why I did it then Don’t ask me why. Ripples are like actions, you can’t take them back. If you wait in the rain soon you’ll be wading in water. Looking back on memories once cheery now blue. Looking up, you see the once paved path above you That you have fallen through. You’re alone again, but when you aren’t Your smile is sad, like at a funeral. It’s all smoke and mirrors Villains and heroes Emotions unsaid People taken Like when you awaken Only … Continue reading Waiting

Spring

The dead trees grow new life at their fingertips, The buds start to bloom And the smell of spring fills the air, rain, Wet grass, and flower colors spread over the world. The children laugh and play in, no matter the weather. When the clouds cry or aren’t in sight, Or if its a mixture of both. Because now the feeling of flower, And the feeling of warmth tells me Spring has danced and leaped to meet us. Continue reading Spring
