Writing

Bubblegum pink lip gloss

You

Chatter in your sleep to

An invisible boyfriend

You stand in a group, fake smiles hastily plastered

Over blond hair

At the mall

Only those looking were stunned silent.

Empty swing set; no laughter now.

The toy falls 

faster 

faster 

closer to the ground 

its paws reaching out

it lands on the grass with a light thud

it hides there

waiting

quietly.

Moments slip away

faster than I'd like them to.

Moments I could hold onto forever

moments I would hold onto forever

if I were given the chance.

Although memories are forever,

Here are some of my ideas for challenges for next year!

1.) Write about life on another planet in poetry or prose.

2.) In poetical or lyrical format, write about climate change/rising problems such as that.
