Mum, when is Christmas?
Why?
Because I want presents
Dad, when is my birthday?
Why?
Because I want presents
Poems
Down Memory Lane
I knew we were done
Yes we had enough
You were on my path
I was on mine
Waited for the paths to cross
Hoped to meet again
I saw our paths intersecting
But turned I knew
You would blame me
For all of your pain
You wouldn’t look into my eyes
See the fear of making new friends
You had pushed me away
Hoping that I would run after you
I had lost all my senses
And no one was there to pick me up
Forgetting this I ran back to you
Hoping that you would hug me
Talk to me and love me the same way
Unfortunately our friendship had changed
Everything had changed
I saw you laughing with someone else
The same way we used to
Memories trembled down my spine
Tears rolled down my cheeks
I stood there for hours motionless
Taking a journey down memory lane
Audience
Audience
My heart beat fast
Slowly expanding
To break apart my ribcage
Each breath was painful
Like breathing cold air
My wobbling knees
Threatened to give out
My eyesight blurred
With black spots
Somehow
I faced up
And looked at the audience
Expectant looks
Then it went like a dream
I didn’t forget a line
Though distracted
My mouth did a painful twist
As I looked at them again
After I was done
Silence
Something had gone wrong
And then the most beautiful sound
Millions clapped
I hid my face
Blushing
And went back
This Is Fall
I see leaves falling
I hear birds chirping
I feel the dirt beneath me
I taste the crisp air
I smell the dirt and leaves
This is Fall
As I walk through
The forest leaves are
Falling from trees
Above me
I keep walking and I
Stop to see
A black bunny hop
Across the trail
This Is Fall
You wake up one morning
And look out
The window to see
Tiny white cotton balls falling
From the sky
This is Winter
My Good Friend Max
Max is a great friend if I’d say so
If one of us does something that’s wrong we both say no
If we have problems we’d both talk it out
The most important thing is we do not shout
Me and Max are great friends
Let’s hope our friendship never ends
Books
Books are good for your brain
They help you learn
Books are smart and they don’t give you pain
So you can be smart too
Books are never wrong
Sometimes they have mistakes
Books can be long
But you get information
Books are useful
Don’t throw them away
Books can help you
They are the best
Friend
I’m like a shadow
Hiding in corner
Unseen, by everyone around
I prefer to be silent
Like the moon, on a moonless night
Uneasy
When I get attention
She’s like the Sun
Adored by everyone
Everyone’s friend
She’s the centre of crowd
She can speak into the void
Can break an awkward silence
Apple of the teacher’s eye
But I’m not jealous
I admire her
Her leadership
Her way of making people feel free
And her humility
She can talk to me
I do not know how we get along
But we do
I make her laugh
She makes me smile
We are the best of friends
