In my head
Won’t stop playing
It plays
For hours
And hours
And won’t turn off
Mixes of
Miley Cyrus
Jonas Brothers
High School Musical
And Hannah Montana
Play
Too many times
But I love
To listen.

Blows on a tiny breeze
Through a crack in my window
The hawks squawking and
Soaring through the baby
Blue sky
Dotted with white
Puffs of clouds.

Fireplace crackling,
Snuggled on the couch,
My sister and I,
Wrapped in a blanket,
Listening to Dad’s stories
of when he was a kid.

Brown, yellows and oranges swirl
Around like a gentle whirlpool
Leaning to the right as a luscious October breeze hits
The breeze that makes cheeks rosy
Leaves of the same color
Fall next to the marigold
leaves so dead
Marigold filled with life
The beautiful
Marigold

The ball zipped right to me.
What to do with it?
What to do with it?
Turned to first base,
Then to second.
What to do with it?
What to do with it?
Turned to third base,
Then to home.
Threw the ball,
Covered my eyes.
Out!
That was so long ago, in T-ball.
Now I throw it to second,
One out…
They throw it to first,
Another out…
Double play!
I’ve come a long way.

I cross you over
Then lay you up
Get scared
Play off
Hit the jumper
In your mouth
Crowd goes wild
MVP goes to
King Ray
Roy Williams
At the game
Want’s me to play for
North Carolina
Full Ride
At the King James Tournament
Made the Jr. McDonalds
All American All Star Team.
Crossing everyone over
To the hole
AND 1

Shimmering bright.

White
Magical
Mystery
Flakes crisp and cold

Clovers
Green and lucky
Fresh as
Spring

Waves crash
Into the grainy sand
Filled with colorful fish

Sun
Bright and sunny
Full of brightness

Trees
Swing and sway with oxygen

Life is golden.

Flying far, far away
Gone from its home
And lost forever
Saved by God

Fishing in the
Bay.
Catching a flounder
In the bay.
But . . .
Eating the
Flounder at my
House. As my mom
Gives me ranch on
The side with
Old Sea Bay.
