Tomato Or Moth?

Risha Hibird

1 min read

I may have colorful wings or flap in a hypnotic way

But no one understands

How tomatoes and I alike

Both misunderstood

Both thought to be something we are not

Tomatoes are a fruit

You can tell by the seeds

I don’t have seeds but still like a tomato

Thought to be a butterfly

But I’m not a butterfly I am moth...

My Orchestra

The desert silence held ancient whispers…

The sound of the wind brushing over the sand…

Pulling the grains above the warm earth…

They pierce the plants that rise above eye level…

Filling the air with a symphony of swishing and pitter patters…

The lonely cry of a lonely coyote calling for its long lost mate joins the canopy…

The swish of a wing rises to join the growing noise…

A slither of a king c...

Free Falling

Falling feels like flying until the moment you land.

It feels like the edge of your bed, and that moment in between panic and euphoria.

Like breathing in before you realize you are underwater.

Like when you imagine a world where the sky is blue for you, but before that’s just the way it is....

It’s in the garage…

Ah-ha!

That’s where it is!

Like a filtered pond!

Clear and clean

Like a bubble

Shiny and sparkly

Like a fire

Bright and happy...

Directions To The Zoologists Home

As soon you turn you will find a cliff.

But don’t forget about the soil, I heard it’s slippery.

Cautiously make your way down the side trail. Don’t worry about the plants along the path.

Even if you watch your steps, be careful. Falling is a risk, but it’s worth it!!

Go!!

Hurry!!

I belief in you 🍁!!

Just run!!

Keeping them waiting is a bad idea. Leave when the sunrises.

Leave soon and leave ...

I will not walk this earth without you

I have no problem waiting

I will stand here forever

I will search the sky

Looking for your star

Hope to see your face in the sky

I will search the ground

Looking for your prints

Hoping to see you toe beans imprinted in the dust

I will search the air

Looking for you hair blowing in the wind

Hoping to catch a smell of you kitty cat sniff...

Blind

One minute I smell purple, lavender, green and sage… the next the smell of black darkness surrounds me.

I open my mouth to try and find the scent again.

“No… no!”

This can’t happen!

Me and my family can’t live if I can’t smell!

The darkness closes in around me.

“Madam Wrenn?” Someone calls from the front of my small shop.

“Coming!”

Grabbing my cane I tap my way to the front desk.

I hear a sma...

Idk What To Name It

I don’t know how it started. All I know that I’m dead.

Not physically but I’m heading to a grave of if I go back up those stairs.

It all started when I went to the basement of our new house.

I saw a window. In the basement.

And me, being the cat that got killed by curiosity, opened it.

And a leather bound book fell on the floor. I reached down to pick it up, you know, because that’s what you d...

The TV screen shone bright

Grey, red and black

Add some yellow and orange

Crashing sounds from the speakers

Shaking us all up

Wondering why

Who

How

Two planes

Crashing

Destroying

Changing trade

Changing the world

Changing you

Changing me

(I know that it’s not September but I was reading a book about it and I wanted to make a tribute.)...

Someone Give Me A Name

I want to feel, I want to know

I want to love, I want to grow

I want to see, I want to flow

I want to make, I want to be known

I want to know you, I never want to feel low

I want to fly, I want to glow

I want you to know

How much you make me grow

The way you see

And like a river you flow

Since you’ve known

About the felling of being low

Your joy is its own kind glow

Always be aware

To you I wil...
