Writing

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.

Here, for the first time in years

With family I haven’t known

But still, family.

And I like it here.

The first vacation

I’ve actually enjoyed

So far away from my own home

Which usually I hate

Time slips away from us

My guard slips down 

Her hands slips in my hair 

And somehow I slip further out of love 

I dream of her touch 

I have the chance to do anything

not quite everything

but many things

and I don't know what I want to do.

I could be a writer

or start my own company

or be an Einstein-level mathematician
