Welcome

This little blog is mostly about little odd things in life that make my day or that I enjoy. I made this site so I could share them in an artistic way, such as in poems and creative writing.

Hope you enjoy,

Odd thing# 14


Run
Cool brisk air slaps me in the face
Saying
Wake up
Running
It’s dark like dark chocolate on my tongue as I breathe
Swing my arms
Soar
Legs work against pounds of concrete
Feet slap against pavement making a beat for the birds to sing to
The sun rises slowly
I speed up
My legs burn with the sun
Then there is no more cool air
Only heat
And I sweat
Sticky
I want to stop
I breathe harder
My lungs laboring hard
My heart is slamming itself against the walls of my insides

Odd thing #13

Swing tap
Pulsating rhythms speak to me
Talent shines on the stage
I feel the beat in my bones

I Plunge into the music
I let my body melt into its essence
To be seized by its steady thrum 

i love the feeling of wanting to dance, not knowing what i can do then surprising myself as i make a move.

Odd thing #12


If you want to be something and you cant, be nothing
But then again you can’t be nothing because to be nothing is a something even though it’s nothing. So if you can’t be something and you can’t be nothing, then be you. 

in other words...i honestly dont know how to explain this one.

Odd thing #11


Air rumbles
Tree tumbles

Mountain shakes
The earth quakes 

scary that i experienced an earth quake, it was all the way from Washington.

odd thing#10


Tinkling china
Scent of red rose
Touches my nostrils with its steaming tendrils
And as I dream I live to sip
Upon this flowery tasteful nectar
Taken from a rose

This moment now I live
In the moment
I have lived to this moment
Taking one sip
Feel it on my tongue
One sip
One moment
One life to this moment

And as I swallow
I wonder how I have come
To sit here on this day, this month, this year
To drink this
To taste this
In a moment 


in other words, we have only lived up to this moment.

odd thing # 9


Sand grinds
Sun shines
Sunburns on my thighs

Face red
Skin dead
So alive while water rushes over me

in other words, i love a day at the beach, getting nice and sunburned and feeling so tired when i get home :D

Odd Thing # 8


Descriptions crisp on my tongue
Freshen my uncolored mind with blooming talent


in other words, i love words, how they sound together, and i believe they can make one more of a colorful person. sorry about not posting much.

odd thing # 7


Little lights
Twinkle shine
Stare at the twine
No perfect lines
                       
Simple limbs
Wire bends

Standing tall, this humble family tree…



In other words, I like how my family has a fake tree but we cover it up with such nice lights and ornaments, that it looks a pretty as any Christmas tree.

Odd thing # 6

comming home, lay around
the blanket feels like thistledown

close your eyes, breath a sigh
this is the end, sleep through the night




in other words, i like coming home from school and taking a nap under my warm , fuzzy blanket.

Odd Thing # 5


Scribble smudge
I see they are faded
People write
"This is nice."
Conversations on the surface for all to see and point to
They exclaim
"This is yours?”
I say no I own no words
I compose


in other words, i like writing poems on my desk and coming back to see if others wrote a response :)

Odd thing # 4

Ring finger
Tan from the sun
Remove the ring
But its still there

In other words, I like it when my hands tan in the sun and when I take my ring off you can see white skin where it used to be. :)

Odd thing #3

It's late at night
Dark and so quiet
So quiet a night
No sound and no light

And then so fast
It did not last
The chair in your room
Decides to move


in other words, i like it when, at night, the temperature changes and the furniture or your roof creeks and pops as it adjusts to the change. the molecules move and shift and it makes a sound. i love the thought of hearing molecules move. :)









odd thing # 2

waking up early in the mourning, still dark out side.  going on a walk  and its cold. your nose is numb. you break a sweat as you travel. your thighs burn and the next day they are sore but it feels so good to stretch them.

Odd thing to be happy about #1

when I'm all alone at the house. it's quiet and peaceful so I can fill it with my own music and no one can tell me to stop. :) yes, when I'm at home alone, i like to sing. i practice my favorite songs and sometimes i make new ones. you should try it.
