You Can’t Write a Poem About…

you can't write a poem about the person who will always be at your side               

  you can't write a poem about pictures that will always tell your story  you can't write a poem about the sun and how it's a big ball of light,

projecting every direction  you can't write a poem about waiting for the storm                                                                           to                                                                                               pass  you can't write a poem about your friends, or the memories that will be with

you forever but you can write a poem about life, and how no one said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it 

Where I’m From where I'm from, lemonade fills me up and i realize that we've drunk it all

before one customer, my brother and i  where I'm from, recess was the biggest deal, everyone thinking they were

too cool  I'm from the late summer night cookouts the feasting upon Reese's and gummy bears  where I'm from, things are laid back, outgoing and not judging  where I'm from I swim, always have been  where I'm from, The Lion King was my pride land                     I'm from the high dunes                              the chlorine water                                     but most of allI'mjustme

My PetMy Pet

hearing her through the night , barking sometimes crying others

little round ball of fur                    always lively                                  always active

then falls asleep in your arms nothing more than a puppy
