Month: April 2024

Open your eyes

Wisps of cloud
like tongues of fire
rushing silently overhead

O the beauty
of the world outside
our own heads

Seeds of grass
like grains of sand
grow silently under our feet

O the beauty
of the world
when we care to look down

Treebuds
like wrapped bubbles
waiting to burst

O the magic
of spring
when we open our eyes.

Essay mood

Rip your hair out;
punch the wall
bang your head
till your ears fall

You’re writing an essay
it’s sunny outside
your teacher gave you a weekend deadline
it’s time you cried.
