What is nothing

Nothing is freedom

Nothing last forever

I still breath

I look, still nothing

I breath life into nothing

And a spark dives onto the ground ignighting

A phenomenon

Of endless color

A color that doesn’t exist

But flows like a heard of bison

Nothing lasts forever

I look, still nothing

But still breathing

So I breath life into nothing

I imagine something

That is so smoot...

Imagine if you were a worm,

And all you did was crawl and think

Of having a body

That didn't stretch and shrink.

Imagine making it to the next day,

And fighting for every inch,

Neck deep in dirt

Dreaming and waiting for the pinch.

Imagine eating an old apple,

And worshipping in it

Like a rotten chapel.

Imagine being cut in two

By an indifferent shovel,

And becoming someone new.

Imagine slinkin...

Not the prompt, also btw I’m still at summer camp

Be confident

Be humble

Be outgoing

Fit in

Be yourself

Be like everybody else

Be humble

Be proud

Be selfless

Love yourself

Be unique

Be you

Become something that the world can accept

Don’t stand out

Stay with the crowd

But don’t let hypocrisy get you down

Why are we told from such a young age?

Told to love ourselves

But never put ...

Hand me a plate

I’ll pretend I’m a knight

Brave, loyal and true

Suiting up for a fight

With his shield in hand

To withstand their blows

Armor much stronger

Than his enemy knows

Hand me a bowl

I’ll pretend it’s a hat

Of a baseball player

Stepping up to bat

Strike one, strike two

One more and I’m done

But wouldn’t you know it?

I’ve hit a home run!

Hand me a spoon

I’ll pretend I’m a queen

Staring ...

The foe was vanquished, his wilted frame

Now victim to the toilet drain

I’d made my warning loud and clear

Beware all those who trespass here

A victor’s crown adorns my head

That rests again on midnight’s bed

Heavy eyes now chance to close

When comes a tickle up my nose

Impossible,thought I with dread

The villain risen from the dead

Though now my arms begin to itch

Is this arachnid or witch...

I ply cloth until

It feels like bread,

The mimic of foam

from thick seat cushions.

I’m wearing clouds,

Soft and frayed.

My bones stick

In the rigid cold,

Just like broken hands

On a clock.

The branches complain, too,

In both languages.

Given the choice to join

Their melancholy chorus,

I’d laugh like a fox:

A high pitched wheeze

trilling over snow.

I like it when I’m thought

To be deranged.

(Bizarre prose rendition)

I will never forget the day the bananas took over the world.

They were very quickly overthrown, see.

However, there remained the issue of what do do with the rebels. For when all was said and done, we had a great big bunch of bananas beginning to brown.

Now obviously something had to be done.

There was only one correct answer. One which needed initiative, planning… ...

wand waving heros

in a school of magic

twenty-four children

sent into an arena

one giant maze

monsters of nightmares

greek gods and goddesses

quests of danger

giant glowsticks as weapons

a magical force

waking up in the future

only to join a squad

a man back from war

only to find his love gone

a girl who made three dresses

and became a demon

a warrior from a foreign land

found someone and ...

starry skies

gently sprinkled across

the sky

like freckles

beaming sun

glowing down

at us

like a light

amidst the darkness

crescent moon

a half

but not equal

yet just as beautiful

bursting rainbows

erupting from

the ground

bringing hope

what lies beyond

the horizon?

what’s behind

the endless sky?

what can you find

under the mossy earth?

why must one

always ask so many

questions?
