Wanderman Poems

“The Bridge”
The fog that hovers above
makes this bridge look scary,
but for all we know
the bridge could lead to
a brighter
path.
“Winter Walk”
I’m walking to school
as icy wind hits my face
and my nose goes red.
“The Beach”
Salty ocean winds
crashing coldly on my face
hit me like a brick.
“Awake”
I’m curled up in bed
under all of my blankets.
Netflix shines brightly.
“A Yellow Starburst”
Sometimes in life,
you are a yellow starburst.
Some will dislike you,
you’ll be others last choice.
Though with every yellow starburst
comes a burst of bright light.
And when its unwrapped
its true colors are shown,
a flavorful inside
not for everyone though.
“No Sleep”
Curled up in the corner
no one else is home
I hear a sudden noise
lightning strikes while I’m alone
I don’t want to look outside
The wind rustles with voices
Monsters flood in through the window
As shadows fill my room
The darkness brings a breach
And the floors begin to creak
I cower under my blankets
And I don’t want to move
Unable to fall asleep
Wondering when the night will end
And the sun will shine and speak
“Destination”
Sitting in the car.
Waiting at a light.
Thinking about the destination.
Dreaming about what it will bring.
The sun will shine like gold,
and stars will shine like diamonds.
The laughter will flow like rivers,
and at night we’ll crash like waves.
Though the journey might take days,
in the end it’s worth the wait.
“Arizona Iced Tea”
oh, Arizona iced tea
with your peachy flavor
sitting in my fridge
waiting for me to take a sip
I pour you in my cup
and you sweat upon the glass
your orange color sits alone
until I pick you up
then in my mouth you go
and down my throat you crawl
rehydrating my body
allowing me to continue on
“Red Eyed Monsters”
The red eyed monsters make mom mad.
They stop slowly then sit still.
Long lines linger ahead lighting the lanes.
As one winks then wanders west,
It makes another monster roar.
Causing colossal commotion.
So, I just take a nap.
“HP Computer”
HP computer
Given by the school,
Constantly frustrating me,
So, I’m unable to keep my cool.
Please stop breaking
At such an inconvenient time.
I’m unable to type my lab report
Whatever, it’s cool, I’m fine.
“I Miss You”
I don’t think I’ve ever missed someone
as much as I miss you.
That disease that destroyed your life
Took my everything away too.
It was hard to watch progress
when there was nothing I could do
to stop that disgusting monster
from taking over you.
I love you so much
and I think about you every day.
So, until we meet again
I miss you Mrs. Elaine.
“Poison in the River”
Hey,
don’t spray the weeds,
it’s getting in the water,
it’s killing the trees.
The fish that are swimming,
they can survive.
I want to dive in,
but the waters deceiving.
It seems so clean and pretty,
but what lies inside
is a boatload of poison
which isn’t so good for the eyes.
So please don’t spray the water weeds,
they can only grow so far.
It’s destroying the view
turning something once green and flourishing
to a graveyard that they can’t undo.
“Black Duck”
Black duck
Floating down the river
Seems so simple
But to my surprise
You stand out
Like a giraffe would in the sky
As your head
From the bushes cleared
A bright red beak
Surprisingly appeared
“Music to My Ears”
Music is my medicine
when I’m having a bad day.
I put on my headphones
and it helps the sad fade away.
