Beware


If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see a small, glowing spark in the distance. At first, it may seem beautiful because it's a beautiful thing, but beware, because it becomes hideous. Throughout the whole time, it has plent of outer beauty, but what about inner? Does this little spark have any inner beauty? Sometimes I wonder, but the answer is no. This little spark may be beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it's quite selfish. It may posess you and burn away your heart and all of your dreams. It will crush your hopes and bring out your worst fears. It will turn all your happiness into darkness, into its world. It will rule over you, so don't- whatever you do- let it posess you and get to you and crush your spirits until you're a soulless body. So beware. I warned you!

    The warm breeze flowing through my feathers,

    The sweet smell of nectar fills the air,

    I swoop down to the flowers,

    I see buds on the trees,

    Maple Syrup


    Maple Syrup

    Sugary water,
    dripping,
    dripping,
    Slowly filling up the buckets,
    Maple boiling,
    Until at last,
    Sugar,
    Slow moving,
    delicious,
    dropping onto your pancakes,
