20 Little poetry projects

My life is an excuse for fairytales

Born under a deep blue sea of stars, I opened my eyes to first see the mountains far away and blue-why are they so blue?-I’ve never before heard the sound of wind whistling past them, tasting like sand and water-mud?-feeling like soft fingers running across my virgin skin…

The bright, warm sun was first to bathe me

Why did they call me Phoenix if I was born in Chandler?

I never said that I believed in fairy tales

But, sometimes I wonder if someday a story or novel would be written about me and I would be the princess…

Wouldn’t that be one supercalifragilisticexpialidocious sight?!

A story written but never read…

And then the ADD kicks in and I wonder… “Isn’t it funny how the older a person gets the more expensive it is to keep them alive?”

Ahh, I sigh, the simple road of life!

But! I am pinned to the ground by screaming butterflies

And yet…I smile at my misfortune…

Phoenix stop! Just…Just shut. Up

Someday the world is gana look at you and shake their heads, quietly tsk-tsking

And still the raging sky bellows your name!

Someday, Phoenix, the world will be yours, even all of the plants and stars and the entire universe will be lost in your hands!

Viva! Viva la Vida!

Life cries I do!

Ahh, but shh…

Fairytales don’t always have a happy ending.

Something to think about...

This is a story about four people: Everybody,Somebody,Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could've done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody.

But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and

Trip To Japan: An expressive piece that demonstrates correct dialogue form

I sat on my bed staring at the phone that lay by my side trying to muster up the courage to call my best friend and let her in on the bad news. She’s been my best friend since forever. We’ve been through everything together, even remarkably her ex-boyfriend Justin. She loved him so much but the guy cheated on her. She was torn but broke up with him and the only way to heal her broken heart was for her and me to go on this trip to Japan. Oh god. The guilt grew like weeds in a garden.  I took a deep breath then slowly, mostly unconsciously, I dialed Cecilia’s number. It rang once, then twice as I twirled a loose thread in my jeans that would surely rip a hole in them if I twirled it any tighter.

            “Hello?”

            “CC, hey.” To my dismay, my voice was shaky. I squeezed my eyes shut afraid to continue talking, afraid that the news would slip foolishly from my tongue and shatter her heart, and most likely our friendship.

            “Danika? Helloo?” She sounded impatient as she always did when I didn’t just get to the point.

            Finally, after several long minutes, it seemed, I said, “You know that trip we’ve been talking about and planning for? The one to Japan…”

            “Yeah of course. Duh. So when are we going to be able to hang out and go shopping and oh my goodness Danika we could get matching boots!” She sounded so happy it made my heart break in two. I took another deep breath still twirling the small thread.

            “Cc, I’m so sorry but I’m not taking you anymore.” As soon as the sentence left my lips I felt like throwing up from guilt.  The thread finally broke exposing a small portion of my knee. My heart raced ready to hear the click of the phone when she hung up on me. I knew she wouldn’t do that but the tension of the moment dared me to believe otherwise.

            “But, why not me? Who are you taking then?” I could hear the tears and the fury in her voice.

            “Because Cc, I’m not okay?  I’m taking someone else; I’ve changed my mind ok? Does that answer your question?” I clenched my jaw holding back the tears and my lunch.

            She was quiet for a second, and then replied. “No,” She paused. “You didn’t tell me who you were taking.”

That’s when I hung up, suddenly more nauseous than I’ve ever been. I was not about to tell her that the person I was taking was Justin.
