Poetry #16: The ABC's of Poetry

Sorry, I haven't exactly been keeping up daily, but I'm still enjoying this.

Pen hits paper with a splatter of ink
Mind resorting to casual life, extravagant dreams
Hours of throwing caution to the wind
Thoughtfully chewing a snack as you browse prompting sites

Anger, tears, frustration
Crumpled paper hits the floor

Unboxing a new pen, ink-splattering and all
And starting once more

-Trevor :)

Poetry Month Day #27: Quarantine Birthday

I'm sorry for the delay in writing. Enjoy!

No friends! No Thomas or Marty Or Von Auren twins The cake will be sour The limes will be sweet I will spend hours Blanketed on the couch seat What's that you said Mother? Can it be true? We'll all be together So it WON'T be blue! -Trevor :) I am actually looking forward to my birthday, mind you ;)
