Soprano or Alto? Successful or Failure?

Maybe, just maybe, on one day,

I will get out of this old town,

My life’s song will find its own way.

Yes, while living here is okay,

My creativity’s in-bounds,

Maybe, just maybe, on one day.

Planning my escape as I lay,

By me, many choices surround,

My life’s song will find its own way.

I’m a fun girl, who loves to play,

And wants to get her name around,

Maybe, just maybe, on one day.

In many years, you will say ‘Hey!’

When my name will be praised and crowned,

My life’s song will find its own way.

My birds will set free, and- Hooray!-

I will be out of this old town.

Maybe, just maybe, on one day,

My life’s song will find its own way.

Ten Years in Pennsylvania = A Sestina of Love

I cannot believe that I am here,

And I know that one should not say what I will,

But I feel as if my life

Passed me by with the blink of my eyes.

These past ten years have been so amazing

That I wish to examine every detail of them.

All of the important people, I need to thank them,

They have shaped me as I grew up here.

My family, although crazy, is amazing,

And they have saved me by putting me against my will.

So as one can see by looking into my eyes,

I have a past, but thrive for my future life.

Just over ten years ago, I met friends that would stay through my life,

And my prayers will forever be with them.

So much has happened before my eyes,

Death, Divorce, Marriage, Birth, Happiness, Sadness; It was all right here.

These ten years of past will convince me to do what I will,

And I anticipate that my future will be amazing.

The future for others was also amazing,

Not just for those I know but for the entire world’s life.

This happiness came to Alex, Tori, Gabe, Anna, and Will,

My cousins have been steeply blessed- How I deeply love them.

I am so happy that these past years have brought them here,

And now they are happy, one may see it in their eyes.

The sunlight beams in as I open my eyes-

This, of course, being on a day that is amazing-

And I acknowledge that I am still here,

In the place where I have built everything I know about life.

One day, I wish to have children, and pass things onto them,

And direct them to do great things, I hope I will.

I shut my eyes again and fall back to sleep because I know I will

Anyway. Too tired for awareness still are my eyes.

I then dream about my next ten years and what I wish to do with them,

I just know I want them to be amazing.

In a larger city is where I want to build my future life,

But I do not know, maybe I will stay here.

Honestly, I do not even know what I do want except an amazing

Future in which I can say I built. I want a life

That I can come back to and proudly say, “I made my past here.”

When Art is to Air like You are to Love.

Please let

Me feel the art.

The textures make me feel

So real in this trapped life I live.

Alive.

Hypnotized

His eyes,

That darkened face,

So strange and so flawless

Why’d he catch my eye?

That man.

fiveSeven .

Lights, Camera, Action!

Hollywood living so fast-

Such an envied place.

Seven.

Watch the pretty leaves

Fall down; Red, yellow, and orange.

Oh, how I love Fall.

Shakespeare Would Be Proud

As I was walking down the street one day

I had seen the most peculiar thing

It caught my eye and made me glance that way

Under the tree there was a diamond ring

I picked it up and wondered what to do

Who was there to tell?

I wondered and wondered the whole day through

I found a diamond, I wanted to yell!

Then I brought it home, only to find out

That my mother would not be pleased with me

And do I remember her ugly shout

I’d find the owner, or I would not be!

I finally found the girl who owned it

She thanked me with the change in her pocket!

Do You Have The Lyrics In You …?

A frightening fork in the road,

A knife in the back,

A man whose whole heart and soul are in black

A cutie pie,

An apple in a tree,

One thing’s for sure, I got the lyrics in me

So what, my endearing dear,

Have you written today?

Come out and show the world what you have to say

Put the pen to the paper,

Scribble something new,

And tell me…do you have the lyrics in you?
