Little Poems

A Little Reminder

You aren’t 
a burden,
you are 
a blessing.

LOVE A LITTLE LOUDER

In case you haven’t noticed…let me elucidate.
There is a battle going on today…between love and hate.

A hate that has spread like wildfire and seems at this moment to be out of hand…
It’s burning everything within its path…creating destruction and division across the land.

We are currently at a crossroad…which will determine our country’s history
We are at

I said, 'Okay! Let's play a little game'

I said, "Okay! Let's play a little game.
I'll pick a number, and I'll pick a name.
And if you can guess neither,
you'll have to watch my Peter,
while I paint your new door and the new frame."

It's A Little Ruff

It's the first week with my new pet/roommate 
I've met him once before and he seemed like someone I can live with 
I will say though, he does need to control himself sometimes 
Last night he climbed into bed with me 
Not only did he climb in bed with me, 
but he also slept on

I Have So Little Time

I have so little time
It seems
I wake up half way through
My dreams

Awake I fear not
Demon screams
But those concocted
By pre-teens

Or worse
The subtle facial memes
Of ever changing
Toddler schemes

Then with stealth
I spring the trap
A story told
Before a nap

Letter From My Sibling

Won't write the entirety of my sibling's heartfelt letter,
But those lovingly sweet lines made me feel so much better,
Happier knowing I always helped them when under the weather.

Give Them a Little Time

      soft and spoiled
         devices well-oiled

      spoonfed babble
         in protests, they dabble

      convictions untested
         by reality

A Little Thirsty

Understated Dehydrated

Little Flames

Little flames 
surrounded by brick 
            Christ on the cross 

Silent Angels 
waiting for the service 
              to begin 

Wood, incense, dusty books, 
       

When my little poem is sad, she cries

When my little poem is sad, she cries.
It happens when people tell lies
about this, about that
and never really get at
the meaning of her sends,
her forwards,
or replies.

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Choose To Remember For A Short Little While

Isn’t it odd?
All of the little things
that remain in our
little brains?

One day, you’ll
be walking down the
street, just minding your
own business, when suddenly
you’ll stop.

A sight,
A sound,
A scent,
A memory,

Something you have
never seen, heard, smelt,
or even experienced before
will catch your incomplete attention
so completely.

And send you to
the most magical of
places.

Something from your
childhood,

Something from the
small town you drove through
last autumn.

Something

Insightful Praise of a Pretty Little Liar

Chiaroscuro ballerina,
Rond de jambe in chaînés
Jeté, jeté
Grand jeté

Mariana Victoria,
Your Seiren eyes speak in
Adamantine lies
Forbidden apple gates

Amina Afrikana,
Runes enjambed in chains
Adamantly denying
Grand opries

Bloomeria guro,
Your six-petaled cries sing
"Beaujolais, beaujolais!"
Forbidden pomegranates

Little Girls

climbing up the oak
on a breezy April morn
age just a number

** haven't been feeling very inspired lately but wanted to post something 
     this one is more about the pic than the poem
    

So Little Room, I Took Up, When I Left Her All Alone

So little Room — I occupied —
When Breath — withdrew from Me —
The House — enlarged — to wilderness —
And left — Infinity —

The Chair — appeared too vast — for One —
The Bed — a vacant Sea —
The Mirror — kept a hollow Face —
Where once — I used to be —

The Garden —

Little Girl

Just a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes. 
She used to spin around, dressed up in her tutu and crown, back when life seemed easy. 
Little brown-eyed girl, still waiting to be set free from all the weight she carried. 
That little girl, growing with each passing moment, letting the magical experiences become
