A golden yellow like a treasure trove A warm hug under crisp autumn leaves Milla’s polka dot cotton dress The longing you feel when a secret is pushing to get out of you Opaline sea shells delicately resting on damp sand Monarchs tiptoeing on dark marigolds Light pulsating through the veins of dragon wings Precious gold bars stacked in a secure vault The chain on my Grammy’s neck A perfectly toasted marshmallow that dissolves on your awaiting tongue Going on a chilly October hayride Biting into a ripe peach and feeling the sweet juice dribble down your chin Guidebook |
A Peculiar TopicThere is a certain topic that has been on my mind
And upon visiting this topic, you will find That it is a very peculiar one Peculiar, yes, but ever so fun The topic is this: Do plants ever cry? Do plants ever sigh? Do they ever crack jokes? Have they ever once spoke? Do plants have families? Do they gossip with the bees? Do plants get afraid? Do they ever throw parades? Have they ever had wishes To swim with the fishes? To fly in the sky like a cloud going by? To climb up a mountain? To drink from a fountain? To eat like a human? To be a human? What would their names be? Maybe Clarence or Dee? Maybe Eloise, or Marcus, or Oscar, or Lee? What jobs would they have? What lives would they lead? Would they sing, dance, play football, or read? Would they be dream chasers, makers of wonder? Or would they be dream breakers, harsh like thunder? Would they strive to make the world a better place? Would they only think about the things in their face? We must remember that we have been given a gift Some are appreciative, some seem quite miffed I know it sounds silly to think of this circumstance, But would you become human if you were a plant? |
QueenWhat made the Queen the Queen?
Did she take a different path? Did everyone love her? Her looks? Her choices? How did we get this way? The pieces of the puzzles fit differently for others The Queen must deserve her role Yes, definitely Queens don’t have flaws Queens don’t get power hungry Queens don’t make mistakes I am a pawn for her I am lower on the hierarchy Why? Why? Tell me, I need to – The Queen must deserve her role Choices made her Choices make everyone She is better She has a King Of course she is better She owns the whole board No one can overthrow the Queen She is the most powerful piece She is perfect Her life looks perfect, so it is perfect Imagine a life like hers In charge She has knights, and they fear her They are loyal through fear Now that I think about it, that doesn’t seem – The Queen must deserve her role She had a giving mother Her mother let her be Queen She is deserving She is better We are nothing We deserve the roles we have been placed in We are blank slates Nothings The Queen must deserve her role |
