My Feelings

Everyone has feelings, where are mine?
I feel I have stopped in time.
The future is driving me mad,
It always makes me feel a teensy bit sad.

I wish that I had read between the lines
But I guess I really didn't have the time.
The thought that my mind is falling through space
Is a joke to everyone who laughs in my face.

Except the guy in the corner
begging you for change,
and the man at the funeral home,
acting real strange.

I really feel kind of stressed out,
It makes other people want to shout,
Don't make me feel bad for you,
There is nothing really wrong with you,
So don't take this the wrong way,
But cut it out.

I don't want to take this crap,
So don't complain when I snap,
After you've said to much,
I am always light to the touch.

The future is always bright they say,
But many of us normal kids in the corner say nay.
The ones who have no feelings,
No thoughts inside.

Other people feel they can rule them,
That's not what I think.
People should just leave us in peace
They don't understand what is happening to us.

A Warm June Day - A Ballad

The warm June day embraced my soul
As I walked down the lane.
The flowers swayed to my lazy stroll,
My smile I held in vain.

The colors shouted loud and clear,
“We love a sunny day!”
Not far off, in a hayfield near
A farmer was sneezing away.

Concerned was I,
I jumped the ditch
And made my way to him.
“Gesundheit, sir, how you do twitch!
Your eyes, also look grim!”

He looked at me and stared me down
His eyes fair watering.
His face not kind, he wore a frown
And said, quite blistering,
“Get off my land, you no good clown!
Be off with you, I say!
Before I come and beat you down
With this here bale of hay!”

Concerned grew I,
I jumped the ditch
And ran away from him.
He gunned his tractor in a fit
His eyes still looking grim.

I hurried to my waiting car
As fast as I could go.
I had no desire with him to spar:
So much for his red nose!

Haikus - Creative Writing 12/4/09

Oakhurst bottle sits
On the lawn so quietly, nice
Never again makes a sound

Crazy mustached man
Why are you staring at me?
Look the other way

Tall UPS man
waving as he is driving by
What an ugly truck

Yellow wire cover
Saving us from electrocution
Thank you for your help

Gray colored Toyota
driven by elderly man
What a wife he has!

Shiny black rock
Takes my mind off the world
But only for a second

One tree has leaves
All the others have no leaves
Why aren't you naked too?
