July Is Spelled D-e-s-s-e-r-t

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 09:56:00 -0400

It’s hot, so hot,
The sun is beating
down.
You can feel each wave of heat
that rises from the pavement.

It’s hot, too hot,
You feel as if you’re
dying.
You imagine you can see vultures
bearing down on your body.

It’s cold! So cold!
The ice cream melts
fast.
You remember now why you’ve always
loved the summer.

O Cupcake, My Cupcake

Your fluffy, ooey-gooey chocolate core,
Your frosting, so airy yet indulgent.
How is it that you taste so amazing?
When I bite into you, my taste buds sing.
O, how I’m drawn to your beckoning smell!
I need just one more bite of glory, but—
Alas! Now you’re gone. No more to adore.
Thank you, cupcake, for brightening my day.

The Mourning Process

I.
Frozen blueberries,
You just fell from the freezer.
It is a sad day.

II.
O, my blueberries,
Why did you spill everywhere?
I would have loved you.

III.
Goodbye, blueberries.
You were filled with such promise.
Your loss will be mourned.
