Thunder is a big roar of sound,

a frightening sound

Thunder is loud,

Thunder is proud

Thunder is a dark blanket of fright

that you might hear at night

Awesome place to live

Fear comes to an end

Rice is rich

Ice cream will melt in the sun

Cold will never come

Africa is a great place

I Miss You

When you left, I had to cry.

Why did you say goodbye?

You always told me,

you would not leave.

Then what was that supposed to be?

Was leaving your last option?

Or did you just choose?

Why was it you, I had to lose.

Now the memories are all I have.

Goodbye.

How Do You Know?

How do you know that you’re not in a neverending dream?

How do you know that tomorrow will never come?

How do you know that you will wake up in the morning?

How do you know that this is your first lifetime?

How do you know that things you think are fake are actually reality?

How do you know that in the afterlife you either go up, down, or just lie there in a dark sleep?

One day I saw a cat

His head looked like a bat

He looked around

Made some sound

Then I named him Pat

Darkness

What is darkness?

At night it lurks,

completely swallowing the light.

Can be fun,

can be scary.

Horror of nightmares,

color of black.

Pain of no acceptance.

What is darkness?

Darkness is my mood!

She was a puppy

Looking over her cage

We wanted her so much

Waiting to bring her home

This was our new puppy

Roaring engines at the start line

Agressive drivers trying to pass you

Cutting through your competitors trying to be first

Imcompetent drivers are in the back trying to catch up

N2O gives you a boost to catch up to your rival

Getting to your pit stop to get gas and change all four tires

Snowflakes are falling

That means winter is coming

Start running and play

Bus Stop

The cousins

waited for their bus

in the early morning light

at their bus stop corner

waiting to go to school.
