The Poems

Hey guys, these are the first couple poems I've written so far this year... I had to write them for Creative Writing... The first two are really good but the last one I just wrote down really quickly so I could finish it :) Enjoy!!

MOTHER
I watch my mother go off to work,
And sarcastically say goodbye.
She knows how hard it is
To let her children go.
We're off to school all day,
And even when we get home,
She won't be there.

It makes me remember
Way back when,
We'd drive to school together
And sing as loud as we can.
“We're off to see the wizard,”
She'd sing
I'd just smile at her and sing along,
Because everything was right.

Now I miss those times,
When she would hold me
And drive me to school,
But I know she has more duties now,
To her job and to our home.
I still know she loves us all,
As we love her,
But still I miss the little moments,
That I would spend with my mother.


CHOCOLATE COVERED CHEESECAKE
Hot September noon,
Sweat dripping down our necks.
Was just crowned a princess,
Who needs more than that?
We stop at a stand,
To get a quick snack,
Before we continue
Our Renesiance Festival adventure.
The chocolate covered cheese cake stand.
We needed something cold,
Due to the heat.
It was cold and rich,
Chocolatey and good.
I'd never tasted anything so sweet.
It was dripping down my hand
As I held the popsicle stick.
But I didn't care,
For I was in heaven.
“Chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick,”
The man yelled out
To customers passing by.
I didn't care though.
I already had mine.

VINYL RECORDS
I sit on my bed,
Bored
Nothing to do.
I glance over
And peruse over what I could do.
I see my iPod,
Games.
I see my Kindle,
Books.
I see my clock radio,
That tells me the time
But I stop.
Stare,
There
There on the shelf.
My turntable and records
Laying,
As though calling to be used.
"Play with us!" they shriek,
As I turn the player on,
Put the needle down,
And watch it go 'round and 'round.
The clearest music I've ever heard
Comes through the speakers.
I smile,
Yes,
This is the bordem buster I'd been looking for.
