life

So a little diversion from the LOLs, but here are two poems that Kelsey and I wrote for an english project of mine. Comments are wonderful!

Pessimistic: “Vase”
Life is a vase:
wonderful to look upon,
accented with such vivid creativity,
and can hold so many beautiful things--
yet so easily destroyed, so very fragile.
it's easily jarred,
and even the slightest push
can knock it to the ground
and shatter its existence.

Optimistic: “iPod”
Life is an iPod,
press shuffle and see what you get.
Is it a mellow, happy, upbeat sing along?
Every beat has its own drum,
many diverse tunes,
long or short, many hidden messages.
Boom, boom, my ears pounding with the loudness
and all you have to do is listen.
