Lightly touching leaf of a lilac
a ladybug sunned herself delicately
dainty and demure, hurting no one
Yellow lily strived to make herself tempting
Bug gave her a nod, and a wink
Understanding there were more flowers to visit
Gave lilac a healthy good-bye before she shoved off
rows of icicles
hang from roofs like glass splinters ~
beasts sleep in burrows
He took me to the pool to drown me
Or poison me with summer winds
And his red swimming trunks looked like blood
And his eyes were the color of honey
Or coffee
Or just old dirt
He took me out to poison me
And my lungs filled with the warm breeze
And I drowned
I drowned
Not in the chemical water of the deep end of the pool
But in the air of heat
The sickly-sweet smell of dying flowers
And small decaying animals
And every inhale burned
And he held me there
And he wanted me gone
And I wanted to do everything he asked me
And I came back with his flesh in my teeth.
Bloody, Raw, Pink.
Almost still alive
And I knew that the price of freedom Is death
And the life of the boy with the brown hair
And the red swimming trunks
Who wanted me gone
It seems to be a dream.
I don't want to feel like it's true
However much its true.
My heart is heavy.
You are no more to share my pain with you.
How I miss the times we laughed together
Cried together.
The plans we had.
No one can imagine
How my heart is soaked
I smile in public
But back in my room I shed tears.
How could thatbe
How how how how
Continue resting
A lovely sister, friend, bestie.....
REST WELL DEAR
window, window, on the wall
show me a fluffy bunny small
show me an oak tree standing tall
show me children outside playing ball
window, window, show me true
the grass a lovely green, sky so blue
neighbors jogging in teams of two
you give me some great juejue
If you made me lasso an animal in coal,
a rooster or a chicken would be my goal
a cat is too sneaky, a cow is too big
and I am terrified of a squealing pig
I made some chocolate cake
It's covered in yummy frosting
It took a lot of time to bake
Baking the cake was exhausting
It was for Molly's birthday
Very very chocolatey
A very special day in May
Too bad all the cake was for Molly.
Gather woods,
Dry ones,
Though your flame is huge.
It will surely quench.
Even if it'll cost your head,
take the risk to win than to watch others do.
Don't be satisfied by the huge size of your flame.
Take every chance to win more, otherwise your flame will surely quench.
Take Dominion of your mind, Because it'll weaken your faith,
Steadfast and unmovable you should be,
there's no happy ever after, we're on a stormy earth.
Protect your flame and let it glitter.
I trust Molly,
despite he's a doll.
he's kinda dumb.
But my secrets that I tell him he tells no one.
I trust Molly.
He doesn't hate,
Does he love?
We've had no problems from the day we became friends.
I trust Molly.
He doesn't envy.
We never compete.
He's always silent and that's an expression that he's happy for me.
I trust Molly.
Despite he's a doll,
Unlike human beings.
In no one I trust, but Molly.
Blossom Monyei.
If I were a container
I would not be a bag or a basket
I would want four corners and a bit of substance
I would be a gift box
placed under a Christmas tree
covered in foiled paper
with a gorgeous red bow
the prettiest box under here
jibble jabble jingle John
kibble kabble kingle kong
libble labble lingo long
mibble mabble mingle mon
pibble pabble pingo pom
quibble quabble quingo quon
ribble rabble ringo ron
simple silliness sometimes turns me on
duck marched by wearing a hat on his head
he was fluffy, as if he had been overfed
he stumbled into a pillow and slid down a hill
I grabbed his rain hat and have it still
If he returns, he can have it of course
a rain hat looks silly on an aged old horse
But I am hoping to once again see that duck
Because I heard that rubbing their head brings you good luck
trying to disguise or hide my dinosaur
made my mind weak and sore
I tried to camouflage him as a tent
hundreds of dollars not aptly spent
I made him a costume, dressed him as a tree
He laughed, danced, wiggled, and said “look at me!”
He spoke English? This was an enormous shock.
I had brought him from a Swede way down the block.
Why not let me be me? The dinosaur suggested.
This idea had all of my ideas totally bested.
The neighbor kids now come over to play.
Each one walks Dino on a different day.
Look at me, no hands! Said Witchy Randing.
She could ride a broom while standing.
The other witches did not dare to try.
Watching her zoom high up into the sky.
Her familiars were holding on mighty tight
A crow, an owl, and a smug cat, all white.
Witchy Randing held her arms up tall and wide
Feeling mystically powerful all inside
she felt as if she was one with the wind
confident flying fish, prettily finned
the crow gave a caw, the owl threw out a hoot
cat snorted and gave off a dainty feminine toot
Look at me! No hands! She yelled to the sky
Silver stars smiled with nary a try
She rode her broom to another planet serene
The last time the four of them were ever seen.
Orange pumpkins glow so cute
Making children smile in spacesuits
Halloween pumpkins filled with candy
A cosmic stash, so handy-dandy
Each planetary pumpkin has a special face
That beams like stars in aerospace
Each one has a candle inside
Its galactic shimmer is big and wide-eyed
The nose is shaped like a triangle
Without airlocks to be entangled
The mouth may curve in spooky shapes
From every smile, light escapes
A dreamscape shines for starry-eyed kids
Enchanted by secrets the Cosmos forbids.
