Excuses
I couldn’t do my homework because I was on a run,
I didn’t shoot the basketball because I was blinded by the sun,
I will not go to bed because now I want a bath,
And I didn’t pay attention in class for I dislike math,
In art my work was messy because I didn’t use the stencil,
And now I can’t finish my report ‘cause I broke my pencil,
All of my excuses that I wanted to say,
Well, did they get me out of trouble… just for today?
Clouds
Wispy cotton floating in the heavens,
Like fluffy sheep in a blue pasture,
Slowly being persuaded by the nagging wind
Rain
The heavens boom ominously,
The sky crying and shedding infinite tears,
Turning the earth into limpid pools
