A field of dandelions

Walking through a field of dandelions

Clinging to my wish,

Clutched in one hand,

Wondering what on earth

I could possibly ask this field of dandelions for.

 

Should I ask

For my audition to go well?

Or something personal like

I hope my friends don't hate me by the end of this year?

Or should I ask

For good grades

Or maybe

For next year to

Not suck?

 

All the questions

Echo around my brain

As I stand among the flowers

In this field of dandelions,

Clinging to my wish.

    Duet

    starting together ending together

    weaving around each other's sound

    adapting tuning

    instinctively fitting into the tone

    the way we want to do this

    the contrast

    played so perfectly

  • The boys in my class

    The agony of the human race

    simple creatures

    snickering at my poetry 

    banging their fists against their heads

    stalling work

    reading mushy parts of books they pretend not to enjoy

    saying stupid things

  • Sleigh ride

    Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

    percussion back there repeatedly hitting the sleigh bells
