List Poem
By Kendall Wright
Man sitting across the way,
Watching my every move.
Man sitting across the way,
Staring with eyes of gold.
Man sitting across the way,
Smiling when I turn away.
Man sitting across the way,
Now walking my way.
Man sitting across the way,
Handing me a rose of frosted white.
Man sitting across the way,
Turns and leaves.
Man once sitting across the way,
Gives me hope.
Just to let you guys know some of these are school assignments..Too much writing lately so sorry.
Choice
By Kendall Wright
A warm touch turned into a cold
wet grasp. The careless hands took a small baby from the Father’s protective
hold.
They carried the child into a
dark prison that resembled a house; a house that had been shrouded.
A hideous body cradled the small
gift. A body that was masked with a smiling face.
As soon as
the Father left, the mask shattered. Boiling ooze sputtered through the
pearlescent skin, staining the baby’s
body.
Eyes burned down on the bundle
scanning for any transmitters that might reveal the secrets around them.
Darkness began to swallow the
three month child. It became so dark that the monster itself could not see, so
it dropped the child leaving it alone to cry.
The
child would cry until the Father would see past the mask of the Beast several
days later
Childhood Friend
By Kendall Wright
A green faced child stared at
the bottomless pit of toys.
“You cannot play until this is clean.” A booming voice ruptured a nearby stack of
toys causing it to topple over. The steaming red face disappeared behind a
barred door.
As soon as the keeper was gone a
tapping came from the window across the sea of disaster. Several long wooden
arms reached to tap the tampered glass.
My legs sunk in the toy as I
bolted towards the skylight to find the source of this rhythm.
Two boys
were attached to the long branches; smiles almost flawless except for several
missing teeth.
The smallest
boy of the two held up a small ball.
His pale arm extended backwards
preparing to catapult the ball through the window.
The ball
launched from his sweaty palm; darkness surrounded the ball as the keeper
chased the boys from my prison.
My hands wrapped around the ball
as I quickly retreated back into my cell.
It was worth a try.
Poem
Mirror mirror on the
wall,
Who is the wisest of
them all?
Who’s smile is like
the moon’s soft glow,
And grows in voice
like a horns low blow.
Who dances with grace
of a swan,
And has hair like the
fire of dawn.
Who What Where is
this creature?
Call forth this so
called teacher!
Teacher of dance.
Teacher of rhythm.
Teacher who needs no
reason.
Come forth and
challenge me.
I dare you.
I swear to you,
I shall wait here
beyond the sea of everlasting eternity.
