Where

Submitted by Hannah W. on Sat, 08/30/2008 - 17:35

Where am I now?
You know that too,
Though perhaps, you didn’t listen,
Or wish to hear the truth.

Where did I go?
I’ll tell you straight,
Though perhaps you don’t care,
Or wish to contemplate.

Here I am,
Right here am I,
And I have been here
All the time.

Last Night I Had a Dream

Submitted by Taylor on Sat, 08/30/2008 - 05:37

Last night I had a dream
I wish had never ended.
I dremt I'd found the woman
my birth had taken me from.
We reunited, as before in heaven's vales,
but then my eyes were opened by the sun
and then the morning breeze.

I shut them tight again
to see her pretty face instead,
but all is faded now--I can't recall
but a trace, but a footprint left on
the seashore, left for a crazed lover
to guard from the waves, as proof
of the foot that left it long ago.

Amndor

Upon shoulders of mountains
Upon gliding plains
Red as mountains
Burnt as ashes
Hard as rock
Wild eyes
Amdor

Amdor
Keen eyes
Curved tail
Flared nostrils
Galloping hooves
Neighs like an avalanche
A son of the great Friesian

Tree Primeval

Tree Primeval

Upon the mount I stand, a tree of eld,
Deformed, but wise, and humbly bent to earth
From brutal storms that cow the bravest man.
This eve I watch a most ferocious storm,
That cruelly savors thrashing wheat in fields,
And proudly floods the streams with pouring rain,
While thunder loudly crashes high above.
But hark! The frenzied storm now fades away,
The gray and dark, foreboding clouds withdraw
And in their place resides the golden sun.

My Mime

Fierce anger consumes my mind
as I think of the time you abused my mime.
How could you treat him like an animal
when he's a harmless actor in this cruel, cruel world?

You tripped him and then you stole his black beret.
You dowsed his shirt in red Kool-Aid.
I'll never forgive you for what you did at that time.
When you thought it'd be funny to hurt my mime.

Absolutely Nothing

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

You'll never guess
you'll never be able to say
You'll never ever ever guess
what I've done today.

I didn't ride an elephant,
or dive to ships sunk deep,
I didn't climb a mountain,
I didn't even sleep.

I didn't chase a butterfly,
or sail the seven seas,
I didn't swing from branches high,
or eat broccoli and cheese.

I didn't herd some buffalo,
or run across the world,
I didn't make a daisy chain,
or wave a flag unfurled.
