Short Highlighter Poems

~Highlighter dumping iron mini Crayola colors left out on the driveway melting
                                     now fused together a waxen rainbow~

She takes the stars up in the sky
And connects their dots at night
Like a giant Etch A Sketch
Her own Galaxy Lite-Brite

Using neon highlighter 
All the colors she can find
Drawing close the Cosmos
She closes both her eyes

Adding a bit of the abstract 
She changes hands from left to right
On this giant Etch A Sketch
Her own Galaxy Lite-Brite...

wreak
leaves down
bruised trees gaze
hued leaves with tears
countless highlighter colors of anguish
sending warm cheering arrival wishes
gladness harvest
shades of bliss
mild plants
soothed.

The leaves and changing,
and people rearranging,
It's the start of the year,
People spring with cheer,
The bark is wet,
from all the showers we get,
But i've been told,
"Spring Showers bring May Flowers",
The leaves change from green to yellow,
hopping around like a happy fellow,
The weather gets warmer,
The grass gets greener,

Spend a bit extra 
receive a little more 
In life’s cutthroat sale
and thrifty superstores

No free dinners
It’s all in your head 
For each slice gained
the rest gets no bread 

Gives back a cent 
keeping all the rest 
Huge ponzi schemes 
pay crumbs as interest 

Always leave tips 
they go a long way 
Bosses can pay less 
and make tons of hay 

Mark these words
or use a highlighter 
By omitting fullstops 
save ink for the writer
