Unicorns are beautiful and sweet
and sparkly and pink.
They live in the magic land where the fairies live.
They eat golden magic apples and drink chocolate milk
They run very fast with their unicorn horns on.
Poems
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
You Can, I Can
This is to all who said I can’t,
You were right, I can’t stand losing,
You were right, I can’t be as I was yesterday,
You were right, I can’t be the same as the rest,
But I have been me all along.
My mama taught me to respect all,
I also learned to respect all those who respect themselves,
But I can’t respect those who don’t respect,
I’m me, me, me that respects God, my country, myself and those who respect me.
I don’t need you to understand me, but let me be me,
This is time I have to stop contemplating my past,
Wait a minute there is something I need to tell y’all,
I don’t try I do, I don’t care.
Love’s Reality
It’s crazy how one person can change your life,
That’s the thing about love
At first, everything about it seems to make sense
But the deeper you get the more you realise
you don’t know anything at all.
Love teaches you,
love changes you.
Love makes you do things you never thought you could do,
It can bring out the best in us,
or the worse.
Love can destroy you.
I’m yet to get my head around it,
or make it back to reality,
but some people never try to escape,
they just can’t let go of their fantasies.
