My teeth are chalk My bones Styrofoam and my neck hangs limp beside my throne The sky is deepening The night never goes The stars fade away but the night never goes Time keeps ticking I'm laughing in my bed stab my brains my blood stains red My eyes are rolling as my heart turns stone the banshees are singing you are not alone The moon is full you you aren't alone shatter the stone This is my throne I slip and slide as the waters collide light can swim but darkness glides Wade through darkness the tides are high the demons are here are you ready to fly.

I have a bunch of sponges
stacked in a tower
we use it in the shower
the more it gets wet the more it dries
really a sponge in disguise
(towel)
It hangs like christmas lights
glimmering oh so bright
loosely around my neck
like a beautiful trek
for the eyes to feast upon
(necklace)
Arrogant Flower; a poem
I start out as a seed
Never getting much attention
But my luxurous life starts
When I hit the ground
But once I do I’m bound
But I don’t really mind
As long as I get what I need
It’s nothing from which I hide
It is a few weeks before I see light again
But it is worth it because;
I am taller and stronger
And ridden of most flaws
No one ran me over with a lawn mower
Or pluck my fragrant petals
Or add me to a dainty
Table décor flower bouquet
I gave respect to who earned
And disgraced those who deserved it
I earned respect I respect
but rarely ever got any
So, yes I help a grudge
No pleading would make me budge
I made sure they were sick of me
Before returning to the original me.
But one horrible, horrible day
all the sunlight faded away
It left nothing but gloom and despair
But my actions are what led me here
All the others ran away
leaving the arrogant version of me
here where I deserved to be
Oh! Why did I do what I did!
And then the lighting struck.
I cried and cried for help
But why, why would anyone help
After all here’s what happened;
I held a grudge when they were in trouble
They’re holding a grugde when I am in trouble
after all fair is fair
nothing I will do will repair
At last I would like to apologize
To everyone I have hurt,
For being so very ignorant,
Just remember “I’m Sorry” are powerful words
VOICE OF THE CLOUDS

I used to live at the bottom of the sea
In the shadows , in the breeze
Down the canals , all alone
In the seashells on the shore
One day the naughty sun rays
Come to me to luringly say
“Come with us to touch the stars
Soar across the planet Mars”
Hypnotized by their luring speech
I followed them to the Hawaiian beach
Statue of Liberty , Greece and Rome ,
Never once thinking about my forgotten home
Gaining power and confidence galore
But carefully storing it for when I’m alone
Power from Confidence , Confidence from Power
Everything else from just looking at towers
As we reached the mountain top ,
My betraying companions made a sudden stop
“Go show us your power you’ve recently earned ,
Go fight against the mountains and show what you’ve learned”
We fought. He was proud , a stone for a heart
I was soft , like cotton , a generous heart
He roared , I Shrunk , He pounced I leapt
Quietly leaving without a fight too big
I was blue , so should have been the world below
I cried , the world grinning below
I had had enough! I could take no more
That’s when I made them regret their actions
I roared I roared and made every thing fly,
I cried and cried and flared my eyes,
I showed the my power , my strength , my confidence,
I showed them my everything to prove who I am
At last after everything I slowly settled down
My tears dissolving me in within them
Falling down to the rock hard earth
My everything was lost , but my eyes still gems,
I had washed everything on the world below,
My tears in seas , canals and shadows,
Hidden in in seashells on the beautiful shore,
I was once again home, all alone.

I actually wrote this poem by myself! I admit not all credit goes to me-I sort of inspired by the Urdu poem “Badal ka Geat” which means song of the cloud. BUT STILL! Finding of all the rhyming words and finding the right phrases takes effort!
