A Home for A Ghost
What makes a home?
is it the new door mat,
worn from weeks of snow and rain,
but never from the weight of a shoe.
Or maybe the fireplace,
with warm light that fills the room,
heating nothing but dust. -
My Ghosts
My ghosts try to speak,
With wails and whines,
With pencils and paper,
They write words down in lines,
They shriek when I take it,
And burn it to ash,
As they watch all their hope,
Take off and then crash. -
Humans
Ok so this poem is one that I wrote for a project at school. We are supposed to try and capture the answer to the question: What does it mean to be human? -
Ladybug Fields
Poppy fields of red and black,
filling my vision with ladybug petals,
I feel a warm breeze on my back,
closing my eyes against the sun,
and shapes flutter on a black screen,
forming monsters that I can't outrun, -
Pictures
Pictures,
I take as many as I can,
trapping moments in 2d squares,
hoping that I can save the memories,
knowing that all I'll have is a fleeting snapshot in my mind,
and a picture,
of my friends,
of my family, -
Frozen
I'm frozen,
with my hand above a key,
I try to imagine a pen in my hand,
but it doesn't help,
so I write,
"I'm frozen,"
but then I stall,
no ideas in my head,
just an empty brain,
I put on music,
