The shades, thousands of them really
All of the blue that he saw
In her eyes
The night they drove past the
Freeway exit sign
She closed her eyes one last time
In the eyes a girl with
Dirt blond hair
Who’s laughter mirrored
The wails of a mother
She laughed when
Things really weren’t funny
Because they had left their home
Her father to remarry
She hated August, she hated June
They found her as s...
I waited there for minutes
Maybe longer if I hadn’t
Left for a moment
I waited as the sun rose
And as it set with all
The colors that I couldn’t count
And I waited for you in the snow
I waited for nearly half my life
Maybe longer because I
Cried when I realized you
Would never come back
You were gone for good
So here I am, still hiding
Not wanting to be seen
Just as shy as you were
Before you l...
(I changed it up a bit.)
I closed my eyes. It was only a dream. I was not young anymore. Mama was far away from me to tell me bedtime stories of princesses and magic and witches.
But after I fell, time seemed to fast-forward or somehow teleport me to a new place. When I fell, all there was was nothing. Just black.
Then-suddenly-a worn cobblestone road. I saw a girl who looked just like me. Mama. T...
The footprints kept on going, and they stayed like that, even when the ocean waves surely should have taken them out to see when it hit the prints.
Suddenly, the prints stopped, turned towards the sead and then there was a gap and then there were two footprints, right next to each other. I assumed whoever had walked down the beach had jumped. Their walking was silent.
But then, as if the thing had...
“Welcome! Emergency meeting!” Growled Rusty Bulldog. “Our owners have been very naughty!”
Barks and growls and mews and chirps filled the old abandoned mansion.
“Timmy has been cleaning up my feces from my litterbox,” piped up Poppy Tabby.
Three hairless cats agreed.
“My owner has limited my millet intake to one branch a week!” Crowed Mich Parrot.
Soon, the whole room was filled with angry creatur...
Imagine a place-
If a place that you could see
Was hidden in the dark
But right there in front of you
Imagine a world where spirits are set free
Where they can haunt
Whoever they want
And they will feed off your light
Imagine a night
That can happen only once in a year
Where both worlds are connected
On a moonless night
You can see kids all dressed up
They get to be what they want
And wear what...
Even though I’m quiet
Doesn’t mean I’m blind
Even though I don’t speak my mind much
Doesn’t mean I don’t have a voice
Even though I’m quiet
Even when I don’t speak
It doesn’t mean I
don’t know how to
When the day comes to an end
All the daytime creatures rest
The day I hope will change
But I don’t have much to say
But it doesn’t mean I don’t care
It doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings
I just fi...
How do you see a rainbow at night? Can you see it with the help of the moon and the stars? What colors are in the rainbow. Magenta, teal, crisp golden brown of a s’mores over the fire.
Forest green and maroon and blue the color of a loud Jay, guarding his nest. Orange-red and Purple Mountan Majesty. They all blend together, in the night. Everyone sees a rainbow differently.
Do you see a rainbow wi...
Every time the lightning strikes, memories rush back to me. I can’t help but feel bad for myself. I remember all the times my mum told me to be myself, and yet, that was the worst advice she had ever given me.
I tried to fit in the popular crowd, but my laugh was too false, too loud, they said. I trying being a nerd, but Dnd drove me crazy. So I chose to be myself. The reckless, selfish, and possi...
