Wildflower

Bloop,
Bloop,
Bloop,
Bloop, bloop.
Open.
Yawn.
Bloop, bloop.
Umbrella yawn.
Bloop, bloop.
Peace and calm.
Bloop, bloop.
Do you write for me to read?
Bloop, bloop.
Do you write to plant a seed?
Bloop, bloop.
And the seed,
Is it a weed?
Bloop, Bloop.
Wildflower!

Punctuate?

Why must we punctuate everything?!
Why can't we just write?
Free to think?
Without interruption!!!
Don't you see how it gets in the way?
Why must we punctuate?

Well, okay, I'll fit in just a bit
To your standards,
But listen up now!
I refuse to live a punctuated life.
Only on paper will I punctuate.
Understand?

Bouncing Rubber Balls

Inside

Your children delight me.
    They run around inside of you
        As if they were rubber balls,
            Bouncing.

When I  Look at a Daffodil

When I Look at a Daffodil

When I look at a daffodil,
I don't just see a daffodil,
No,
I see the whole world.

What's that, you ask?
Of course, I can't explain it.
You have to do that for yourself.

Why?

Why does everything have to have a title?
In school, they always want a title.
Why?
Books all have to have titles.
I don't know why.
Wouldn't it be nicer and more fun
If they just had color?
Why, then,
We could read all the blue books,
According to hue, of course,
And when we wanted to move on,
Say, from blue to green,
We could move through blue green first.
Now doesn't that make sense?
Wouldn't that be more fun?
Think of all the surprises.

"Why Can't I Make Up My Mind?" by Sharon Terry


The color blue,
No, green,
No, yellow.

Oh, why can't I make up my mind?
Maybe I don't have a mind.
Maybe it is absent.
Do you think?
Oh, why can't I make up my mind?
