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!
