A Name-less Poem

My brother wears my father's shoes.
He stumbles around
giggling.
The laughs continue
The years go by
One day the shoes dissapear.
The stumbles and giggles stop,
The laughs are gone
The years go by
As I watch my brother,
I've found my father's shoes.
I watch my brother walk in them
no longer stumbling.
The shoes fit perfectly,
and we start to
giggle.

A Tim Burton-inspired Story/Poem/Thing

There once was a girl named Tomato.
Little Tomato was different than most girls.
All the girls were called fruit,
All the boys were called vegetables.
Not many knew that Tomato was a girl:
She seemed like a boy.
Tomato accepted her differences,
But it didn't make her any less boy-ish.
One day, Tomato's gym teacher placed her
on the wrong team
(of course!)
All the other children laughed;
Tomato didn't fit in.
There once was a girl named Tomato.
Little Tomato held her head high,
and with her chin up, proclaimed:
" I am a fruit!"
And she was a fruit.


This is just a little story I wrote, inspired by Tim Burton. It's not finished; I have some editing I'd like to do, but it's a rough draft. I've been writing a lot lately, so I'll be posting some stuff. My writing will range from opinionated pieces to fantasy poems. It will be a huge variety of writing, so brace yourselves. I hope you enjoy, and please give me feedback!

A Poem Without a Title (the first step of my "new" blog)

The ocean is my mind,

The birds are people;

They keep it balanced.

The fish are my happy thoughts,

and the sharks are my depression.

The dolphins are compliments,

The whales are insecurities, 

calling out for help.

The fishermen are friends,

they bring out the good and bad from within my mind.

The beaches are the special people,

the ones who know me the best. 

They will never see the whole ocean,

but they are as close as anyone will ever get.

Reevaluating My Blog

I have decided to add some new things to my blog (that I haven't used in forever). I will not just write about experiences, but also post my writing.

I love writing. I recently entered a poetry contest, and I was chosen to be published! I am still awaiting to hear if I am one of the winners.

I love creative writing, so when I have time I will post my writing here.
