Rest peacefully, sweet 16! You hope and dream to every poet who has a wound,
You tool for peaceful news,
You champagne of finer drink,
For what does thou think?
Beautiful masterpiece you,
For you have a glow that flows to moons,
Not seen by scholars of man!
Ancient stand!
For don't let the brutal boys tease you,
For they can't please you as you can't please yourself.
I see your bruises and welts you hide under your bands,
For the lips in thy picture really draw a characture of you!
Cupid of cat alley soothe...

"I got a rose today.
Beautiful
with it's broken thorns,
and ii's missing petals.
Bright
with it's breath-taking colors
and it's smart appearance
Delicate
With it's infatuating ways
and it's sensible body
Confusing
for I can't tell if it's naked
or that's the only dress it has."

*"I got a rose today,
Beautiful,
Bright,
Delicate,
Confusing,
and her name is Vanessa."

Tick tock says the wall clock,
Tick tock is the noise it makes,
Round and round the hands go,
Sixty minutes is what it takes,

Tick tock the digital clock,
It's not what it says,
The digital clock is silent,
With no pendulum that sways,

Big and bold Grandfather clock,
Stands so straight and strong,
Usually in the hallway,
Wound up and never wrong,

All clocks are superfluous now,
If you need to know the time,
Check out your smart phone,
I check the time on mine.

I got a smart because I am getting smarter while going to school.
I got a smart phone but it is making me feel blue.
I thought the problem was because it is new to me.
There are too many options it is harder to work.
I get annoyed by all it's little quirks.
I can not have a picture next to my contacts because they are not stored in the sim card memory only and not on the phone memory.
At least the phone is not boring
I try to hang up the phone and accidentally dial instead
I am tempted to say, sorry I **** dialed you
Instead of the truth it is due to User error
I am smart enough to admit that my smart phone mades me feel dumb
Does that mean that the phone is really smarter than me?
I sure hope not

Intelligence is not how many pointless math things that you understand
But rather the ability to understand the people around you
Intelligence is not how many words you can spell
But being able to choose the right ones in times of need
Intelligence is not how many stupid history passages you read
But reading things that matter and have meanings; like poems
Intelligence is not leaving to be with the conformists
But being smart enough to rebel against them
Intelligence isn't going to school for years just to throw your life away
Intelligence is being able to live your life how you want to
