from 9th grade on Monday, May 5th


  • The warm smell of barbeque,
    The grass, cleanly cut as I ran over it.
    The laughter of other kids--
    for that moment, I had no cares.

  • My head on a fluffy flower pillow,
    bundled in covers upon overs,
    Bach playing soothingly
    in the background,
    keeping me in deep sleep.
    Dreams of what I want my life to be like.

  • Laughter, love and wildness filled
    the atmosphere mixed with
    black smoke.
    The fire flickered as we all snickered.
    The wind blew & drew blankets over everyone.
    The smell of warm marshmallows tingled my nose;
    the taste--a great night.

  • Her words flowed out of
    her mouth like a waterfall, spilling
    colorful sounds and words into my ears,
    causing my emotions to swell
    & spill out of my eyes,
    just as the words did out of her mouth.

from Monday, April 28th

  • Everyone is silent.
    The only thing heard
    are the running noses
    of those whom
    hold back their tears.

  • Tears drop...

    they hit the
    cold
    hard
    ground.

  • From the dark, dirty clouds
    Fall pure, transparent water.

  • He touches my
    waist
    to lead me
    gently but firmly
    away from
    the source of my tears.

  • The tears of
    the past
    don't have
    to affect our
    future. Live
    it out with
    happiness
    and let the
    sadness roll
    away.
