Crisp citrus sheets
Two pairs of feet
Butterfly kisses
and whispers sweet

Rose petal streams
Golden moon beams
Butterfly wishes
come true in dreams

Mandy's life

She muttered words nobody would ever hear
Her cubicle scarred her for life
Putting staples in the stapler was the final straw
The monotony of it was stifling
She left
Nobody ever noticed
Now she lives deep in the woods
among giant trees that speak to birds
She's got not much use for words
She hacks down the dead ones
so new life can grow
She's the world's best woodcutter
Far superior to any other
But nobody will ever know

Forsaken

I will reach for a moment
I will crouch for a dream
I believe in almost nothing
But I'll give you all of me

I won't forsake you
I won't allow you to live in vain
I want to believe in everything
But I need you to do the same

The Don

God you're a dolt
You just blather on about stuff you know nothing about
Think you're the boss, when you're really a tool
Convinced you're a genius, but the world knows you're a fool
You preach from the sewers and think you're supreme
But you're truly just a narcissist who's insecure and mean
So happy you're gone
Hopefully we're not as dumb as before
Cuz I'm pretty certain we'll be seeing you in 2024

Follow Through

Crafty man
Can you build me a boat that's not made of sand?

Sunny girl
Can you quell my demons and bring light to my world?

You my love
What can you do?
Promise to love me forever and simply follow through

Way back down

Please let me out of this Jack in the box
My spring is tightly wound
So kindly grab the lever
and just spin it around
Soon I'll pop up sprightly
but surely with a frown
Then I'll gasp for some fresh air
before you stuff me way back down

Irradescent aliens (haiku)

Transparent yet veiled
With tendrils cloaked in daggers
Jellyfish mingle

DOA

Stars that still sparkle
Thousands of light years away
Arive DOA

My poor muse

Can I chop off your head so I can pick your brain?
You look kind of inspired and somewhat sane
Perhaps you have something clever to say?
An original metaphor that isn't cliche
Some snappy line that ropes people in
And gets them to scroll all the way to the end?
If you're reading this, we must have succeeded
Sorry everyone for feeling cheated

This is good

Toss out some bologna and see if it sticks
Throw time at the wall and see if it ticks
***** onto paper to see how it reads
Cut yourself with a stapler and let the words bleed
Spit on the canvas and smear it around
Build up your masterpiece, then burn it down
Leave your fingerprints in color
Don't live black and white
There's a million ways to create
There's no wrong way to write
