ODE TO RAINBOWS
Oh, rainbow
you are a big, colorful piece of art.
you are like 7 crayons
that have melted in the sky
where do you go when you
are not shining?
You go somewhere else in
the world.

Fox
The fox quietly
ran away far

I dreamed
that six hundred
turtles lay seeping
under the shade
of a pigeon.
I dreamed that
I put a turtle
on a scale and
it weiged 21
pounds. I dreamed
about twenty
fat people
jumping out of
planes and do
a belly flop on
to concrete.
I dreamed that
Santa ate a
burger and
blew up. I
dreamed that
it started
raining turtles
and whipped
cream. Then
burgers started
crawling on
me and
punching me
with their
tiny hands.
I dreamed
that I ate
five pigeons
on a farm
in space.
I dreamed
that I
screamed
so loud
it made
operas cry.
I dreamed
that I
made
onions
cry.

Dear Miss Annie’s Flowers
She never waters you
I wish I could break in her house
and save her flower
you smell good
the only time you water is when you’re outside
maybe it’s my time?
She’s eating you, ew,
She sees me
Sorry, yellow tulip.
You have seeds.
My mom said she had a prize for me.
She said, “clean your room.”

A blender is like a mole tearing up the ground,
it comes up from the ground and eats your
plants, its mouth is like the little blade
that cuts the food, it smells gross,
it feels soft, it sounds like nothing, it tastes
well I have no idea, it looks small like a blender,
so you better get a cat.

The Fly
The fly is a fat pest
flying around doing who
knows what? It makes me swat.

How to Fall in Love
First, you go to the
store. Then go to the frozen part.
There you find it. Next, you get it out
then you put it in the oven. Third, you put it
for three minutes then it is done you
get it out then eat it.

O, Netflix!
You have a variety of shows to
watch. Good or bad I don’t really
care. Your red and white colors
are really quite swell. So cheap I will
never give you up; not even for
Hulu or Amazon Prime. O, how I love
Netflix.

O, Chocolate Cake
Your rich creamy taste fills my mouth,
you smell better than a patch of roses,
you sound fantastic because you don’t make
a noise, you look like a square box with chocolate,
you feel like a bumpy mountain
when I shove you in my mouth
O chocolate cake how I adore you.

O, Paco
why are you
so Hitlery?
You are
rude to
everyone
that’s why
we call
you Hitler cause we can’t even hold you.
When we
first got you
you smelled
like cotton candy.
Every single night
I hear you and
I can’t sleep.
You look like
a colorful parrot.
You mostly eat
sunflower seeds.
