sixteen horrible math problems
I cement my seriousness with warm resolve
I have sixteen horrible math problems tonight to solve
If anyone despises mathematics, it is certainly I.
Every math problem except a word problem makes me cry.

sweet sixteen never been kissed
May 2024, 2nd half of our six months friendship.
I realised I had developed feelings,
I was panic as well as excited.
I worried because deep down I knew,
There would not be anything past friendship.
I started to make excuses,
To stay away from you by not going to your 2nd home.
I pretended to do some special projects
That could only

Need or Want?
I just want to be loved,
I want to love someone.
I want to have that 1-in-a-million love.
To be loved unconditionally,
Two sided love.
I want to dance in the rain.
To cuddle and watch movies,
Kiss each other on the forehead.
Look at each other and know,
Know that it’s real.
Know that I’m yours.
I want to go on picnics,
And match on Halloween.
You

when I was sweet sixteen
At sweet sixteen, I had a job at a supermarket
Worked after school until nine
my boyfriend worked at a competing grocery
at a quarter until nine he came over and sacked
to get me out of there sooner
People said "Joe, aren't you at the wrong store?"
This was a small town.
On weekends I babysat.
Back in the day we were

Sixteen Seasons
It was all upon you. Its all but you:
the brokenness, the wickedness,
the wilderness.
Sixteen seasons.
Obsolete for mere reasons,
taught a boy valuable lessons.
The scorpion and the frog:
its me but you.

Happy Sixteen Birthday - Christen Kuikoua
Shall I hail the rising ray
Or overflow my cup with tears of joy
Shall i run as with no direction
As a madman full of happiness
Or woe for such a glorious day has come
Will his prince my friends’ mirth receive,
And bless his birth, and wish to live?
Or shall he Forever wave to his past
And dreamed time was

Sixteen: a Perfect Square
Sixteen: a perfect square and fourth!
Good Lord, your age is headed north!
So slow it down, just linger, tarry;
Always be my Mary Berry.
Though both of us seem not so young,
It’s clear we scarcely have begun;
Sixteen’s not old, that’s plain to see,
Not when you’ve got eternity!
So raise your voice today and sing,
One day, you’ll dance before the

Sixteen To Sixty
From sixteen to sixty you have loved me
I have loved you
Destined to share this life together
A blessed fulfilled life… tried and true!
Together we have grown into adulthood
A loyal team side by side
Conquered all life handed us
Each other’s support and guide
We have agreed and disagreed
Gained life knowledge along the way
Through all of these life’s moments
Side by

Being Sixteen In the Summer
the smell of suntan lotion
scream of seagulls
uneven sand walking
blowing up an inner tube forever
looking at swimming suits
loving it that we drove out here
without our parents
for the first time
feeling grown up
on the beach
welcoming summer
tasting freedom

Sixteen
They rolled him into the ambulance,
feet drumming weakly on the steel gurney.
He was undoubtedly an impatient man.
Some claimed
that he had once (in a fit of pique),
thrown his cell-phone off a bridge.
Today an automated voice had said:
‘his call was very important’ --- but
sixteen were ahead of him;
after fifteen long minutes he lost the connection.
Then it was

So Close
As I walk through the sun
He who is none,
Calls my name
Time and Time again
I hear the beckoning, of my soul
He says it’s not out of my control
I should sing His song
Who is sung by none other, than the gone.
So alluring and inviting
He says there is no use in fighting
Why fight when it is pure
