Bah | Cattail Jester
Bah he said
As if my whole world
And all I said was jesting
But so it is
Bah he said
And dismissed me a clown
Never mind the red shoes
And nose I wore, look
Past the grease paint.
where can i find good poems
Should Not | Cattail Jester
It’s a little too late
Much too late
For should not
The die has been cast
Beans spilled
And should not
Is a thing on the past
Now there’s only
The carpet of guilt
Wallpaper of whining
Sad idling engine
What might have been.
Geese Headed South | Mary Bone
Geese were flying south
for the winter.
honking along the way,
promising to return again someday.
Rich | Edgar Law
If I were rich I would buy
you a big house that would
be empty and useless.
I would buy a swimming
pool that we could paddle
around in, full of insects
by the end of summer.
I would buy a solution
to all your problems I’ve
created, and see if I could
buy a back door to creep
out of.
A Girl That I Loved | Joshua Chen
My body moves, Goes where I will
But wherever I am, My heart stays still
Each time I think of you, I’m filled with joy
If you haven’t entered my life, it’d be nothing more than a toy
At times I feel like I’m falling to the depths
Yet you’re always on my mind, Always in my head
Sometimes I fall so hard , My heart feels broken into two
But when I wake up, I feel alright
Because I’ll picture that I’m beside you.
All I know is that I love you so, So please do not ever let me go.
Life may be tough being with you,
But what would my life be without you.
I’ll never stop or let you go,
As I might be amongst the clouds by tomorrow.
I’d do anything to make you stay
Because life without you would be so grey.
My heart is pure towards you,
As pure as snow from an angels view.
You know these words are forever true,
And I’ll never want anyone else but you.

Still Working | Cattail Jester
I am happy to report
You will be happy to know
All is still working properly
The train is whistling
Right now and again today
My heart is beating
The apparatus we used
To prop up existence
Acts again in play
A steady chugging
Conscience unfolds.
Earth: A Love Story | Hope Vigil-Alvarez
She was beautiful
So blue and green
Within the starry skies
She’d dance and preen.
Then Man came to live within her
And she cried with joy
So flattered with attention
Her flowers blossomed
And leafy trees bloomed
But soon Man decided that she just wasn’t modern
So he dressed her up
In buildings
Made up her face
In neon lights
She was eager to please
And let him have his way
But then he complained
“I don’t even recognize you anymore, you’ve really let yourself go, or I can’t live here anymore”
She cried acid rain tears of pollution
For she’d tried so hard
Given the best years of her life
Only to be rejected.
She knew something had to change
So she steeled herself against him
And decided it was Time
For another Ice Age.
