In the Sky

In the sky, I see blue and a spiritual angle interested in discovery

I see fluffy curvy white clouds

in the sky I see orange like a flower and a sun

I see constant movement

in the sky it looks like the sun is following you

but it is not

in the sky I taste salty water

apples and cherries

I taste strawberries from the garden

in the sky I taste an orange juice sun

and lemonade

in the sky I hear thunder and rain

the howling spiritual wolf

in the sky I hear pigs squealing and giggling

I hear the wind of a tornado

in the sky I hear butterflies fluttering softly

I hear someone eating crunchy cereal

and horses running on the rainbow sky

in the sky I smell a good witch flying on her broom

in the sky I smell armpits

and bananas in a pink bowl of ice cream

in the sky I smell chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven

I smell cloud sharks eating fish and strawberries

in the sky I feel free horses running

I feel heavy air

in the sky I feel blue jays and chipmunks

going up and down the branches of a sky tree

in the sky I feel like I could fly

If I were President!

Anyone could be president

even a girl or a boy or a fish

a shark, a shoelace, or someone in the army

A president can be a number, like the dollar bill

or a wall or a nothing

if I were a little kid and I was president

I would wish for someone else to take my place

because I am bored with being president

I would want a pretty yellow room in a pretty yellow house

I would want a pet electric eel

if I were president and the world was in trouble

I would save the country

I would wish for more hair

if I were president I would give food and pets

I would give them presents, like toys so they won't be bored

I would feed people sushi, water and juice

if I were president I would give everyone money

I would ask people to rebuild the White House, to give me a motorcycle

and help me sell pets

if I were president I could change the world

like changing the flag to a number 44 with stripes all over

or a bear flag

if I were president I would change China

I would change everything that needed to be changed

I would change LA to Africa

if I were president I would promise to save the American people from America

I would promise erasers and glasses

I would promise a cow

it would live in the white house and be a president cow

If I were President

I can be president

anyone can be president

just like George Washington, George Bush and George CupONoodles

good people can be president

cause bad people have guns and shoot people

if I were president I would talk about the country and the golden chair

I would sit in the chair and tell stories about fish

I would do my business work

writing notes about children

if I were president I would plant a garden and grow strawberries and friendship

I would be a cheerleader for the alphabet

if I were president I would give away houses and food

I would give candy too, and spiders to bite the bad people

I would give kittens and dogs and dragons and zebras

if I were president I would give away happiness, love, kisses and hugs

if I were president I would give away magic

if I were president I would ask everyone to love their mom's and dads

and brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles

I would ask for a big white house to live in

I would make everybody rich and ask everybody to share happiness and love

if I were president I would promise to come back to my house and work

I would promise to visit the people and never leave them

I would promise never to go to bed

I would promise never to die so I can be nice to people always

if I were president I would send everyone in the whole world money

if I were president I would wish for the children of the world

to go to school everyday so they can learn

I would wish that everyone on the whole planet had hot food with tapatillo on it

If I were president I would wish to be an angel

In the Sky

In the beautiful blue sky

I see milky white clouds

clouds like whipped cream

it reminds me of blue ice cream with whipped cream

in the dark night sky

I smell the pine in the trees

it reminds me of dangerous cats

in the overcast gray sky

I taste sprinkling rain drops

I reminds me of going to sleep

in the pouring raining sky

I feel cold hail on me

it reminds me of beautiful white snow

in the mily snow white sky

I hear snow fairies going home

it reminds me of willow trees waving along

in the beautiful blue milky white dark gray sky

I Lost My Family Memory in Mexico

I lost my family memory in Mexico

My family is there

but I am here

I can never get those memories back

My family is there

I miss them

I can never get those memories back

I can see them sometimes

I miss them

They sometimes cry when we leave

I can see them sometimes

I am happy with them

They sometimes cry when we leave

I lost my family memory in Mexico

I am happy with them

but I am here

Soul

My soul belongs to me

Not to you...but to me

My soul kinda shuts down

When I hear somebody dies

Over a color

Red

Blue

I feel the pain

Of a friend

That once

belonged

to someone

My soul belongs to me

Not to you...but to me

The Name Within

I got my name from the sky the earth and the air,

my mother is the sky, my father is the earth and

my sister is the air, but I, I am the seasons.

My friends call me spring and sometimes

even summer or fall, I don't like being called

winter because winter makes me cold and harsh.

I can change my family's reaction to me.

How to be a Butterfly

You have to learn to fly.

You have to wear a lot of colors.

You have to feel the wind

blowing on your face.

You have to make butterfly friends.

You have to learn to sleep on a leaf

or branch in spring or winter.

You have to find nectar from a flower.

And just be yourself!

The Temptation Shunner

I dream of light on a rainy day.

I dance in the wind and the stars

in the dark gloomy night.

Show me your happiness,

your confidence in yourself.

Give me your fear,

your madness, your darkness.

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see.

Do you see darkness or light?

My eyes are like a moon shattered in the sky.

My mouth is like dresses just waiting to dance.

Everyone has temptation in their lives.

But I shall shun them all.

The Crazy Dark Mask

I dream of someone.

I dance with someone.

I show myself.

I dream of my runny eyes

and my crazy dramatic

hair floating in the air.

My mouth looks

like a flower.

My forehead looks

like a diamond.

My eyebrows are wavy

and crowded.

My nose looks

like a raindrop trying

to hit the ground.

But I would always

know myself,

being myself.

Sharp as Tiger's Nails

Look into my eyes

you will see glowing green fire

My ears are as sharp as

tiger's nails

My nose looks like a

snowman's nose

My skin is black like outside

in the dark

Look into my eyes

they glow like green fire

My face looks like

a lion's face

My mouth screams

for war
