Blue Old Backpack
I was in the attic when I stopped to
stare, a blue backpack my mother used
when she was in school.
The backpack was rough to the touch,
but smooth on the inside.
The color used to be royal blue, but now
so faded it’s now a nice sky blue,
it smells like mothballs, and some dust,
it’s covered in dust, but I don’t care,
I’m taking it to school tomorrow.

Bored
Two corn chips are kissing to complete their dream of being an hourglass.
They wanted to do this in the best way possible.
With the stars and birds both overhead and with the waves of the ocean under.
They met at a quarter past nine to complete their dream.

Spring
Kids run around in the bright colored yards. Puddles from rain
ripple in the roads as cars drive through. Mud everywhere. Water
will come again later the same day. The roses, sunflower, and dandelions
sway in the wind. Spring has just started. This is only the beginning.

Popcorn
Popcorn wakes up every day
makes coffee. Then put on his
suit and went to work. Then got fired
for being too old.

I see a great big
knot
on someone’s
head.
It gets bigger
and bigger everyday.
It’s going to
explode one
day.
That day
has
come,
today at the
Walmart it
just popped
right off.

Weird Love in the Lake
I saw a lake it was a big lake I eat a hamburger and then throw it in the lake it was my
life it gave me gold.
I cannot believe that I put a cheeseburger in the lake it de-evolved But I love
cheeseburgers.
I cannot believe that I got a cheeseburger again Because I love cheeseburgers so I
throw it. It was cool and shiny.

Iridescent Llama
The egg.
It was as ordinary as a rat taking a shower.
It was colored like the
Earth itself.
Not in a usual
pattern.
It almost had the
pattern of ripples in
a pond.
The egg.
It is now making
the sound of twigs
snapping.
The top now has an opening.
Out of this opening,
something is trying to
emerge.
It made its way to
the surface.
A colorful llama
has made it to
the outside world.
Good luck to the
llama.
