American The act of displaying a detailed autobiography was in my interest until I decided that my vibrant life was no more than fluffy fabrications and brilliant boredom. So I decided to make it a little more personable: / / I like expensive cheese, traveling, long walks on the beach and writing poems about people.
One head Watches over me, covered in scales of plenty Like a slimy sea Licking my own fate Two heads Engulf the air and circle the ground Looking for something not found A flammable screeching sound Masks the rush of my heart rate Three heads Prevent me from moving on Like foxes trying to con Hoping that what I search for is gone. They deviously begin to mate. Six heads Barricade like thick cement Keeping me in tryin to prevent Any and all things I present Then with a promise, I sedate. One heart I aim for straight away Noiselessly I stop and stay Silencing voices I have let stray My own victory I now can create.

Hydra
‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the cave The monster excitedly began to shave. His home was messed up with rocks everywhere In hopes that St. Claws would trip anywhere. He laid some fried bugs upon the end table As a treat and a greeting and a card with a label. The monster curled up on his stone cold bed While brushing his long hair, beginning to shed. Soon the cave started to rumble and shake The monster jumped up, fearing an earthquake. A giant squeezed in with its long white nails While its sled waited outside and its 9 angry snails. “Ha, ha, ha!”Roared the giant, “I have something for you!” And he dropped a large bag, spreading everything askew. Out came some coal and the monster dropped to his knees And cried out loud, “I’ve always wanted some of these!”

A Visit From St. Claws
A young girl with shoulder-length brown hair and new white shoes galloped across a newly stained bridge with black polished railing With no cracks, no moss, no holes, no graffiti and led her to her new old school for the very first day. The creek beneath her, filled with ducks, algae, the occasional nutria, clear, murky water, and branches, weeds, and grass hanging out over the creek, flirting with it, And the creek flowed while the girl playfully followed. The wide grassy hill, abandoned by trees and bushes alike, hid a narrow trough, which entertained the young girl on her journey to the school and came up to her knees and Sharpened her balance while trying not to fall over. And her friend, with faded blond hair, with blue, blue eyes, with a soft nose, with faint eye brows, and about 4’9’’, trailed behind her, trying to match her every step. And he was her close neighbor And at school—her classmate And then they came home and he was her playmate and best friend. And once they were home, her mother made them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, no crust. Her mother, at home, then school, then teaching and her motherly tone reassuring the girl that she could do anything she sets her mind to while reminding the girl to do her homework. Her father, working with cars, then not with cars, then with cars again, who was good with his hands, but maybe not his memory, Who the girl is alike more than she may think. The white shoes grew into a white Jeep Cherokee and took the girl to the new new school; And the long, dark haired, one-eyed boy, And the preppy, sparkly, life-size Barbie, And the bulky young man with a fully-grown beard. Within the vast hallways, the girl spotted her distant neighbor, her classmate, her playmate, her friend With dark blond hair, with blue, blue eyes, with a hard nose, with whiskers on his chin and a stature of 6’8’’. But only sometimes. Driving down the long, grey pavement road, with no lines to part the road, the girl passes the bridge, The bridge which had taken her to the old old school, The bridge with faded black rails and both moss and graffiti growing on it, The bridge she had once followed.

The Grasshopper made the Ants work through strife Forcing them to feed him, While scaring a bug’s life. Hidden in the large empty locker Is where you’ll find little kid ***** Trying everyday to conceal himself From the big school bully. Fur coats is all she wanted But puppies she’d carelessly **** And dogs would cringe From the voice of Cruella DeVil. Wizards and witches All magic the same Would often speak of him But not say his name. Blond hair and blue eyes Is the only way to go. Hitler’s the leader So Aushiwtz you go! He’ll keep you on the farm Appearing to work for all But he’s just like those pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. Although a fine nurse Thought to make good calls, You, Nurse Ratched, Are just like them all.

Nurse Ratched
Have I ever told you, friend, How much I love your smile? It just lights up my life, Making your presence worthwhile. I also enjoy listening To all your thrilling sensations, And ‘specially all your friendly One-sided conversations. You’re such a funny friend, Like your dream about honey, Where you put some on your toast— Boy that was funny! You’re my friend, like A foot to a shoe Who’s always so generous Letting others listen to you. Oh my dear friend, I have a story to tell! But yours is more important, So I’ll listen to you dwell. I wrote you this poem I think it’s a great fit! Adios, my friend, I do hope you like it.

Have I ever told you, friend
A pink flower sways in the breeze on a calm, cool night. It stretches out its smooth petals, inviting others to join her. Soon, a young bee hobbles along and freely accompanies the flower. She plays with its leaves, caresses its petals and hovers above the flower's stigma. A sudden gust of warm breath pushes the bee into the flower and is wrapped up soft arms. The young bee quickly gathers some golden powder, tickling the flower. Then off the bee flies, waving back and thanking the pink flower, Which still sways in the breeze of the calm, cool night.

You shall marry your mother And ****** the other Mark my words though Because I’ve told you so. You try to deny in disbelief Though I am not known for mischief You know more, you threat, Since I am only a blind prophet Your ignorance annoys me much Of your wife’s motherly touch Yet you act as detective Trying to get a new perspective When the criminal is caught His punishment be to rot. You’ll be saving the city— Ha! I laugh out of pity. Your eyes, craters now, Clawed out by the truth you’d allow Now you think you’ll die in bliss Just ‘cause you showed some nobleness As your brow glistened You should have listened To what I know Because, well, I told you so.

Although your friendly demeanor Helps mask your vexatious vibe, What's hidden under your trench coat I can effortlessly describe. Your ignorance is beautiful Complimenting your facetiousness, Which gets people to laugh, Following you like a princess. The amiable attitude masks An ugly judgmental jowl Which tends to spark A camouflaged scowl Your playful features are No more than soft and cushy wool. The transparent grin you flaunt about Is just a bunch of bull. Now grapple my ideas Don't throw them out if sight. Just listen when I say "You're stupid and I'm right"

6 word story
The monotonous ticking and somber creaks send chills through my skin, making my hair stand as if it was shocked awake. Each step I take, the bare skin touches the cold hard wood, freezing me. A stale taste floats onto my tongue turning it to stone but quickly warms up when a familiar scent surrounds me. The ground turns soft, my toes familiarizing themselves with the cushioned carpet. I reach out in front of me but am lost in a space of emptiness. A wall guides my hope to the side and my fingers fiddle and search for the hidden switch. Heart thumping, my index finger lightly pushes up on the friendly switch, but with a swift movement, I remain lost in darkness.
