Goldilocks

Ate all the porridge

And broke all chairs but one

She got the beds a mess

But set just one

Neat and tidy

She drew hearts on pictures

And gazed out windows

Longing for her return

When the bears arrived

They were met with a fright

Goldilocks sitting there with delight

Daddy Bob bear looked to Mama Lilly bear

Scowling in rage

How could you do this to Baby Timmy bear

Bob stomped his...

Writing Prompt: June 2 - "Write a poem about unseasonable weather. e.g. A warm day in the winter, or snow in the summer."

"Well then, you should have brought an umbrella."

the raindrops snidely snip

'How could I have known, when sun was the plan,

but now you drip and drip?"

"I don't know why you wore a sweater"

the sunshine, backhand, protests

"How could I have seen, when it snowed last week,

Chimp In Baked Beans Weird

It was so weird. Like out of this planet, chimp in baked beans, weird. I was just walking to class before fourth period with some of my friends and this guy I’ve never seen before just stopped me in my tracks. And I knew everyone in this school from first name to what they ate for breakfast that day. Not to mention, we’ve all been going to school together since like, birth. But this guy just sh...

Summer in England

Have you ever been to England?

I live there and here where the weather is unpredictable you have to take great care.

In the morning it’ll rain, by noon out comes the sun, then when the evening comes, its thunder and that’s not fun!

I wore a coat this morning on my way to work, but by the time I came home again I was sweating like a sinner in church.

It’s supposed to be Summer here on this isla...

Spring Break

Winsome willows beckon the sweet spring breeze,

Balmy wind brings winter’s scorn to dust freeze.

At down’s break daisies yawn against green hue,

Cool passions shimmer as shivers seize when wind blew....

Bad Santa

Snow falls

The tree is up

A beautiful time of the year

I hear a clatter on the roof

You know who that can be!

Everyone is sleeping

Oh no! He’s Here again

So close the lights

And hide

Let him think

We aren’t home

And that he is all alone

I hope he leaves fast

Cause this happened in the past!

The bad Santa is here

Oh boy!another year

Hide: The SILVERWARE !

Last year, he stole my elf o...

Work Weather

It’s up side down, 90 degrees outside ,but 40 degrees inside . This is how the body breaks down . No heat in my work space means I have to concentrate on something other than work . All the while through the window is the sun shining bright on those lucky enough to be outside. All I can think is that will be me soon…....

One call away they say, with face paintings red and white, while blue jays pass by and perform a good and utterly sweet dive.

One call away where mice crawl amongst the humans, almost as if their imitating the lemmings, in a place where decorations are a symbolization of sophistication.

In, in a world where not one human being answers me, so it makes me think am I even human, no it must not be, ...
