New Rooms

Boxes and boxes and boxes
Drawers and crates and bins
Up and down the rickety stairs
Over and over again
Organizing and cleaning
For the past two days
And now it’s almost complete
The room switching craze

New rooms.

The Olympic Games

The crowds roar in delight
As their favorite athletes fight
Against the elements, the hot and cold
To bring home silver, bronze, or gold.
Nation against nation, in every sport,
With athletes of every sort.
A celebration.
A competition.

The games are here.

Concert

The stage,
The lights,
The sounds,
The people.
Before, it was her.
Now, it will be them.
The music
I know by heart.
I
Can’t
Wait.

Concert.

Peter Pan Jr.

Cold air

Blinding lights

Itchy costumes

Loud people

Rude people 

Headaches. 

But…

Tingling air

Bright lights

Gorgeous costumes

Quiet people

Kind people

Excitement. 

Peter Pan Jr. is a bipolar experience.

Literary Limerick

Sitting in a corner it looks
Like I’ve found my quiet little nook
The pages I turn
With each word I learn
It’s a beautiful, magical book.

Florida

The magic was tarnished but not destroyed. 

The excitement was dampened but not drowned. 

My smile faltered but did not fall. 

I was weak but I did not break. 

It was sucky to be sick, but Florida made up for it. 

I miss the sunshine and the 

Fun. 

Back to school.

Elevator

School is an elevator

Everyone packed together

With somewhere else we’d rather be

Stuffy, desperate to escape

And then a bell dings

And we are released

A stampede of people

Leave the elevator

In the dust.

Spring Equals

Spring= Flowers
Spring= Showers
Spring= End of school
Spring= Swimming pool
Spring= Blue skies
Spring= Late sunrise

But…
Spring= Wet clothes
Spring= Muddy roads
Spring= SOL’s to take
Spring= No more breaks
Spring= Bees that buzz
Spring= Lots of bugs

Spring

The strong smell of blossoms.
The pink petals.
The light drizzles.
The sun hiding behind the clouds.
The warm glow on my skin.
The sweet taste of fruit.
Shorts, sneakers,
Soon to be summer,
Sweet scents,
Strong smells…

Spring.

The Clock On the Wall

Tick Tock.
Dark oak wood.
Silver frame.
Ornately carved.
Ever so delicate.
Ever so beautiful.
Numbers, painstakingly written.
Thick, black ink.
Something so old,
So simple.
Ticking away
The time
We have left.
Tick Tock.
