Glasses

I wrote this for a Writer’s society exercise.  I was studying a pair of glasses lying upside-down on a table.

Somebody’s eyes
I lie and wait
Upside-down
I see the world
Spatters of mustard
Mar my simple beauty
Breath and sleeve
Everything’s better
Below me another
I see upside-down
But no more feeling
Than the black, polished table
Time to leave
And I fly
Sung with practiced grace
To rest on the nose
Of a familiar face.

Tiger Dreams

My toy tiger was sitting on a table next to a small box of frosted flakes, so I wondered what my toy was thinking about Tony the Tiger.

I sit next to Tony
He’s GRRREAT!
Why can’t I be like him?

I look at my owner
Puzzlement on my face
She looks up
Maybe hearing
Then back to her notebook

Why can’t I?
Who said I couldn’t?

The nameless people in China
Who stuffed my body
And set my face
That’s who.

The Plaque

I saw one of them annoying plaques on the wall.  Yay observation.


Proudly proclaiming
‘The Honour System’
Letters fade to blurs
Eventually becoming
Pompous Teacher Torture




 Never regret
