Dog

A dog, a friend, a family member, a secret keeper

Always trustworthy, always there

16 years is a long time for a pet

To be living in this world

The thought of putting you down

Kills me, It is just so hard to imagine

Life without you. But then

I think of all the good memories we had

Like when I would try to teach you tricks

But you wanted to be stubborn

I'll miss you so much

But I'll always love you

Your Opinion Doesn't Matter

Sitting inside wrapped in a blanket

I am getting so hot

That I am now cold

Long days with movies and ice cream

My pants are getting tighter 

I am getting bigger

Mom asks me to clean my room

I can't find the energy to get up

I'm so comfortable, Why should I ruin that?

I get yelled at for sitting around

But I enjoy what I'm doing

So you're opinion doesn't matter

Tired

I am running on low

I am losing my glow

I need to get more rest

Or I feel so distressed

With all that’s going on

I feel like my energy is gone

Because I need more sleep

This poem isn’t in anyway deep

Normal Day

Today is a normal day.

I woke up late. I'm really tired 

and kind of annoyed. 

People are moving around in their chairs.

squeak and howl every time

I forgot to eat breakfast, 

and I just want to go home.

I have to go to skating 

After this, and then do all 

of my homework and online classes.

phone is still broken

I keep going on Facebook 

to talk to people, and I just 

waste my time on there

it is going to be a long day.

I wish it was the weekend

but on the weekends I work

So I wish it was November 

then I don't have to work and 

I can catch up on my sleep.

I could be doing something productive.

The Many Ways to Eat a Fruit Roll Up

I

You always need to open up the wrapper

And unravel it from its shell

Peel it from its paper and the eating process begins

II

You can rip off squares, one at a time

And place each piece on the tongue

once the fragment has disintigrated

the next piece goes in

III

If you feel like this takes too much work

You can crumple it in a ball

And just eat it that way

III

Also you can fold in and half

And let half of it hang out of your mouth

You get to eat delicious food

And look like you're sticking your tongue out

IV

If you prefer you can fold the whole thing up

It will become one giant square

Or it can be any shape of your choice

V

If you would prefer a smaller piece

You can rip off a square

And fold it into a tinier square

In this case smaller could be better

VI

Now if you're not in public

What you can do is wrap it around your finger

You can enjoy your roll up that way

VII

If you enjoy licking things this one's for you

Hold both ends of the fruit roll up and stretch it out

Lick the middle of the roll up as long as you can

Then when it rips you can just eat it

VIII

For those hot days during the summer

Put the roll up in the freezer for 30 minutes

Then break off and eat the cold pieces

IX

Either you can chew it or suck it

It doesn't matter which

If you chew it it goes faster

If you suck it it stays longer

X

No matter which way you eat them

They are delicious

So enjoy, fruit roll ups are delicious

Pictures In Fields

I walk through golden fields

With my camera close to my face

I am looking through the lens

Finding beautiful pictures everywhere I look

A purple flower here

A squirrel over there

These images become memories 

But they will forever be pictures

Rain

               I

            look

         up at the

     sky and clouds

     are getting dark                   A

     they are starting                 few

       to get thicker                sprinkles

           thunder                   come from 

                                       the clouds and

                                      land on my face

                                        they feel cool

                                            refreshed

                            I

                        open

                     my mouth 

                   and taste rain

                  it quenches my 

                  thirst and I feel

                      very alive  

The Joys of Traffic

Poem 1:

I’m on my way home

Sitting in traffic again

Horns always honking

People driving very slow

I might never make it home

Poem 2:

I am going home during rush hour

Traffic is a daily problem here

Honking horns and super slow drivers

It will take forever to get home

Poem 3:

Here I am trying to get home

What’s new? More traffic like always

With honking horns and slow people

At this rate I will be home late

Poem 4:

In the car trying to go home

Traffic, traffic please go away

Horns honk and cars are slow moving

I would like to be home, thank you

Poem 5:

I am driving home like every other day

Then traffic shows up and my speed needs to decrease

People press on their horns and make others slow down

Just trying to get home before it becomes dark

Poem 6:

In my Toyota on my way back to my house

All the traffic starts earlier than usual

Horns are honking away, people start slowing down

I would like to be home before it gets too late

Breakfast Sonnet

Decisions, decisions what should I eat?

A blueberry muffin or some jelly on toast

This morning I am craving something sweet

Possibly a three course meal to fill me up at the most

With so many options likes waffles or pancakes

It may take me forever to decide

I could eat Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, or Frosted Flakes

Or if I wanted to be healthy I could eat fruit dried

A bagel with cream cheese and a side of eggs

May complete my desire for something tasty

But then again a fancy alternative may work like crab legs

I should probably make up my mind and make it hasty

Too bad I took forever to come up with a resolution

No breakfast for me I am starting a hunger revolution
