If to be a sonnet is to be vain, then to be a sonnet is to be a friend. 

If to be a limerick is to be laughed at, then to be a limerick is to be a child. 

5 years ago I was in 5th grade 

My "friend" told me I had a weird laugh 

I was too scared to laugh after that 

I love you like the sun loves the moon

The kind of love that only exists in the in-betweens

Between day and night

Because love is a spectrum

And I don't love you at the end of it

I love you in that sweet spot

Spring

cherry blossoms float south

carried by a gentle breeze

of chirps and happy sighs

Summer

I think peace looks like:  

driving on the highway from College Park  

listening to “White Ferrari” 

by Frank Ocean 

I don’t like the word chivalry

The spelling

The sound

And what it means

Be chivalrous and put women first!

Can’t we just be treated as equals?

I think it’s dumb

A prince in shining armor
