kiss me just kiss me
once on the nose
well i screams
ya little green pervert
am i hitsm with my mop
an has ta flush
the toilet down three times

Riddle Poem

When our mouths are full, we are travelers-
Plodding, crunching, marching through the days
With our tongues hanging out.
But alone we are only ornaments
Lying in wait, empty mouths
Patiently anticipating our next adventure.

Found Poem

She was the world's
wild charm:

starry nights,
the mountains,
bright sunflowers,
forests,
water, water everywhere,
Life.

Views from on high explore
fantasy
and
reality
and
beyond.

Summer elevation, increasingly free-
Astonishing scenes and sightings inspire songs.

The earth in a new light.

Imagine letting it be...

Winging it.

Two Tone Poem

At school I feel a dark bluish-green-
Internally bold but externally quiet,
Like a low thumping bass drum;
A mossy forest that's calm and at peace
But uneasy and impatient.
But in my own element I am a rich, earthy orange-
Warm and full of energy,
The sounds of a lively rain forest
Or dancing to a pulsing drumbeat-
Unpredictable, uninhibited, undeniably kinesthetic.
My orange is an electric exception to everyday questions.
