Number Four: "Nightmares" for Emma Lee

In the darkness, all alone. A child or a man full grown, Sits and thinks of the day But sees shadows of all grey.

In the night, we all share A creeping feeling, A growing scare, That leaves us reeling.

And from this fright, I awake each night With a great shout While thrashing about.

Staring up, questioning why, We all look to the dark sky. And on the horizon I can see First rays of light shining at me.

And I know all is okay, For now is coming a new day.

Number Three!

"Boys" for Lauren.

I kinda scared myself how well I can think about boys...

Boys, boys, You are my toys: Do what I say Day after day.

A smile, a wink, A flip of my hair And you will think "Look over there!"

But what I want, I find it's true, Is a boy who is Just like you.

A charming prince Made just for me Who loves me since, We were meant to be.

Number Twoooo!

"Please compose a poem of any nature regarding the topic of perceived time passage related to one's instantaneous level of happiness." - John M.

They say time flies, But what happens When God cries In sadness?

Time is a stone, An immovable being. But as I've grown that's Not what I'm seeing.

With my best friend I wish time will never end. But when I am so sad Sleep-time makes me glad.

But this is life, The paradox of Greatest strife And immense love.

Number One

The first request comes from Zoe: "The sky at the lawn today around 5:30pm =)"

A burst of wind, A flash of rain, And all is calm, All is sane.

A canvas is left, Yet with no rainbow, As the clouds' depth Begins to show.

Marble white spirals down Onyx black; as a wisp Of light creates a crown, Purely clean, so crisp.

And staring high, Who looks back? A pure heart in the sky Clearing away the black.
