The Sea

By Alexander Ridley

Shh…

Says the Sea

I can see

your seaweed,

your shells,

your sand,

your ships.

The yellow sun shines

as I sit

on the grainy sand.

I can smell

your salt

I can tell

there’s a lot.

I see the sea

as the sunset sets.

I have seen

your golden tint

your relaxing wind

as I leave the sea

with a grin.

Morning dew

By Anonymous

The sun…

In spring

Reflecting intense

Shining light

On the little

dew drops

On the

sharp

As a

Knife blades

Of grass

I only miss you

By Anonymous

I have six eyes

and six lies

six ears

and six years

I have all this, but what do to what?

only to catch you..

you’re there in the mirror

there in my eyes

there in the kitchen as you stir up the next few lies

you can run but you can't hide

you'll always be there in my eyes

Peaceful is a woman

Who lives in the clouds

In their own world

Eating ice cream sundaes

In their christmas pajamas

Peaceful is a woman

who everyone loves

And wants to

Be

Peaceful is like coming up for

Fresh air

Peaceful is someone i will

Never be

- Peaceful
