Poem: Thunder

A Haiku

Rumble and roll are

Words we use to try to calm

The sky as it screams.

Poem: Globe

The little globe on my desk

Spins tales for me of the city where we met –

And where you said you loved me

For the first time with your easy summer smile –

But as I twirl it with my finger, so smoothly,

Like you had me wrapped around yours,

I feel a sort of relief in knowing

That I don't wonder where you are

And what you’re doing anymore.

Poem: Brown-Haired Boys

She told me she was bored

Of brown-haired boys

Because of old and tired lines

And dates that felt like wasted time.

She told me she was tired

Of brown-haired boys and flirty smiles

Because her first love left his mark

When he left her in the dark.

She told me she had more than enough

Of brown-haired boys for the next few months

Or more;

She had closed and locked that door.

A Plant Update and Another Thank You~

//A non-poetry post

Hello, hello!

Thanks so much for 75 followers! As I've said before, I appreciate that you've taken the time to read my writing and stuck around for future posts. I'll keep on doing my best! I have some poems lined up for this week, so I hope that you enjoy/resonate with them~

I mentioned in an earlier post that I started growing some small plants. As an update, several of the seeds that I planted have sprouted (but I don't have any flowers yet). Watering them is one of the first things that I do every day, and since they first started sprouting, they have looked different every single time. My ever-changing (albeit tiny) garden has given me something simple to look forward to every day since it's different each time, and I definitely recommend starting one as a little summer project!

I hope that my blog grows as well as my plants have (they have leaves already, which is exciting) and has some flowers soon (cheesy, I know).

Anyway, thank you (again)!

Sending good vibes to you all,

j.p

Poem: Caterpillar

A Haiku

Caterpillar, you

Are stronger than you think. Soon

You will spread your wings.
