Teenage

quirk smile
drang rings
spang shoes
glitz kings
bing bling
gimme a ring

dart glance
block stance
ice grab
sharp snap
sting scar
salt tear

sweet summer sifts
sun sinks slow
siesta slumber sigh
soft secluded silence settles
singing, sleepy still shining
small salty smile

as sun seeps
slimy slug slurps
soothing stillness as
slugs saliva burps
birds sing sweet
slug slops slap
strong slither
out! out before I snap!

Some detest it
Some make a puzzle of it
Others rest in it
Some try to guzzle it
Some despise it
Others compromise it
Don’t summarise it
Just open your eyes a bit
Best not be in strife
Cuz life is life

Welcome to school
You are so cool
Looking like a fool
Like your friend Buffoon

Everyone knows his head is round
If it hits a table it makes a big sound
So I’m writing this poem so he can notice
So read this song so he can get the message

Sit down if Alfie’s head is round, sit down
If Alfie’s head is round, sit down
SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN.

I have got two choices but I don’t know what’s right,
It has left me wondering day and night ,
This mystery is giving me a heart attack,
I walked down a pathway but then I walked back.

I’m drowning in confusion, I have no clue,
How can I go on when I’m feeling this blue?
Please lend me the knowledge of which I lack,
I walked down a pathway but then I walked back.

Give me the key and show me the light,
To find the solution I will put up a fight,
Into the mind of the answer I’ll hack,
Then I’ll walk down a pathway and I won’t walk back.

So it begins:
Eyes creep open
Possibilities explode before them like fireworks
Simple colour and light, meaningless.
From this point we never stop. Jump
Between birthdays collecting small circles of memory in a tiny palm
Age flips its wings
A change is commanded
Tapping feet and years wished floated away on a burbling stream of laughter
Hair grows and is carved in slits
Changing minds reach to the sky in hunger for the new
Until, ready, they leave the clouds shattered beneath them.
Grazed hearts heal without comfort’s bubble
hands-first, we embrace

Fingerprints engrave our minds, gifts from the others,
Until we may lay ourselves inside a dream’s mould,
They pile in thin layers.
Eyes crinkle
Hair shrinks
Children bloom like soft fireworks
Light dims
Sparks ignite as the sun watches and the moon ticks
Let them sail their own sea in a boat of paper
As you rest on the shore amongst the ceaseless breakers
Slow sighs wave as they pass you by

Stillness, ripples smoothed by the folds of your palm
Let love’s sentiment sing you to sleep
The heart’s ancient layers, gracefully crumble
Drift a second-
Sink below the surface,
Darkness’s final consumption
There is no noise
It is over. It has just begun.

Amazing
Loving
Friendly
Independent
Elegant

Bold
Obtuse
Loyal
Terrific
Oblong
Naughty 😉

Food is great because it keeps me alive
I love Pringles; onions and chives,
Donuts are definitely the best
They totally rule the rest,
How can I live without sweet, sweet donuts
They definitely are my delicious bonus
Sadly people out there don’t get donuts
So help the world and that’ll be your bonus,
I also love awesome chicken nuggets
they make me want to have a whole bucket,
McDonalds do the best fries
but they can’t be better than five guys,
Pizza is also amazing, I extremely love bbq
It’s the best flavour; you should believe me; its true,
So that’s the end of my love for food
But don’t worry I’ll be back soon,
Don’t forget people starve too
so get involved and don’t make them feel blue.
