Sky
Sky
I saw Mr. Sun outside
So hot, I was terrified
Went nearly blind
And almost fainted and died
He has no hands, eyes
Nor feet
But why?
The big yellow flame in the sky
Was chased by the rain
And ran away to hide in the dark, gray ,gloomy clouds
But only after melting my icy and chocolate bar
I did not see the sun for days
And grew old and could not wait
I was warned to not go outside
For I would get sick and not survive
Still, I wanted to be wild
Like I am inside
But I had to be civilized
I wanted to be young and muddy
Wet my hair and soak my clothes and my feet
I wanted to build mud houses
And make mud pie
I wanted to be a pig for goodness sake
But the rain poured and left mud slides
Homes flooded and left mold behind
Lightning struck and took the life out of our t.v.
Just as the angered thunder roared a beastly roar and shook us
We ate dirt and worms
Sweet, gummy, colorful and chewy ones
That were inside of a planter
With sweet, frosted chocolate cookie crumbs
We grew black and white mustaches and beards
We laughed and made s’mores and almost forgot the chores
The rain and thunder put us to sleep
When the sun does return
It can burn
And burn
And burn
As I will be under the shade
Staring at it with my dark, black shades
With my icy and chocolate bar in hand
