A Short Lived Rival
By Julia Lerner I can neither ask the questions, nor pry, For that would be so woefully unwise. Yet, I see it all with a watchful eye. Why is it that they circle you like flies? I have heard about much of what you did, None of which would be in great taste to name. In due time I will forgive, and be rid Of the burden of this knowledge, a shame. But peculiarly, you shan’t be blamed For it was not you, but instead the fear. For it was not you who commanded and framed Your limbs as you stole it, though still near You had only one reason, survival Only to outlive a short lived rival A Special Place In My Heart
by: Angel Lin I got her a box of chocolate However, I needed a map To get to her house. I also bought her a jacket I thought that was sweet Would it make her turn red? She gave me a rose that was red She offered me hot chocolate I thought that was sweet. It was time to leave so I looked at the map Then I looked for the jacket Wait, it’s at my house! When I got to my house I was Red I did however find the Jacket And grabbed more chocolate I looked at my map It said “Sweet,” as in, the street was named “Sweet” Her smile is sugary sweet She lived in a big, big house It looked even bigger than it did on Google maps The window curtains were, grand, silky and red Was there something inside? A chocolate? No, but there was a jacket A jacket? Was it someone else’s Jacket? My jacket is black, stiff, and sweet The black made it look like dark chocolate I finally had the courage to go back in her house The jacket was glowing red I checked the map She was on the map I took the jacket I got mad, and my face turned red This situation was bitter-sweet She asked me why I was mad, I told her I saw something in her house I told her the jacket was red and not chocolate She told me it was hers; I got embarrassed and showed her my map, I told her I loved her, her face turned red. She gave me her last pieces of chocolate, We put on our jacket then she hugged me. That was sweet. We left her house and got ice cream. |
