My classmates
Theresa Trot had a snot
Hanging from her nose

And settled on her chin
Her teeth look really shiny
When Theresa starts to grin.

Schools can be so unbearable sometimes, 
On some days, it’s the work
Homework!Homework!Homework!
On others, it’s the teacher

Fairytales, 2012
V. Ortiz Vazquez


A vast void
Nothing like the Alice in Wonderland hole
Where a fall reveals mystical creatures
An adventurous journey to find one’s self
Whishes bounce between hollow walls
Descending into nothingness
Nothing like Aladdin’s life
Where his every whim...

Life is an illusion	
A transient phrase
of reality
Nothing is real
We’re all living in
a fantasy
People die
Friends disappear
Money goes 
And some reappear
Empires vanish
And then replaced by
others
Some things are
constant
While some are
adapted by our
brothers
Good and evil
Will remain with us
Throughout our
existence...

Upon a pedestal which all beheld
Both placed on the reality behind the screen
