Sophomore year:
Eggs
I had hoped that
the remnants of salt poured in the winter
would help season those eggs I fried
on the sidewalk this summer.
They tasted awful.
A Whale and His Friends
There was once a cute whale from Spain
Whose friends all believed was insane
So he picked up an axe
And bought a few sacks
So now none of his friends remain
Whale
There was once a lonely whale from Rome
Who lived and worked in a sea of foam
His life was so boring
That he went exploring
And a pear tree became his new home
Friends Are...
Friends are like the fresh smell of rain on a sidewalk.
They’re the first bite of an apple,
And the cup of hot cocoa that awaits you
When you come in from the outdoors in the winter.
Friends are like Christmas mornings.
They’re like singing as loud as possible
Without caring how horrible you sound.
They’re the peak of a rollercoaster
And like getting a new high score in a game.
Friends are like drawing pictures
On frosted windowpanes
And even though your hands are cold
You don’t care since
The picture you drew
Is just so darn
Awesome.
Friends
To make them takes effort
To keep them takes time
And once I have some
They’re not solely mine
Freshman year:
Ode to Rainbow Sheep
A reflection of atmospheric phenomena,
You roam freely, prancing through all those billowing fields.
You're the apple of my eye, the fruit of many hues,
And you're much softer than my pillows will ever be.
"Baaa," you bleat, and it's all music ablaze in my ears;
Cotton candy, drenched in artificial coloring.
Although you're domesticated, your colors run free,
More mythical than my unicorns or magic cows.
There are black sheep, white sheep, all-tints-and-shades-of-gray sheep,
But none have as much wool as you--much more than three bags full!
Those cozy sweaters you knit value more than pure gold;
You're king of the farm, the emperor of all creatures.
I love you, my prismatic, psychedelic puffs,
And I'd keep you forever…until I get hungry.
Ballad of the Failed Fairytale
I've battled dragons and bad weather,
To save her and escape together.
I'll find the heroine and succeed,
Galloping on my white noble steed.
Chorus
Oh it's the lovely Princess I seek.
I know my story is not unique.
But it's all for the sake of true love,
If it exists, which I'm not sure of.
Then across a bright sea of fire,
I saw my beloved in great dire.
I've never really met her before;
From what I've heard, she's beauty galore.
Chorus
After risking my life through the flames
I called out to the great dame of dames,
"I'm here, your majesty, 'tis your love,
Happ'ly ever after, my dear dove!"
Chorus
Then she replied, as sweet as syrup,
Laughing at me, without a hiccup,
"I'll never be yours, you fat dimwit.
Another heart to break, so be it."
Chorus
My heart shattered, my love rejected,
I went home, not at all respected.
So I'll warn you, and trust me it's true,
Love hurts, so beware whom you pursue.
