Poem 1: A Beginning

I sat and I wondered, to myself in my head, what shall I do before going to bed? "There's not much day left; there's no time ...

Poem 133: Snow Day

We were promised just the day before 
that skies would dump a fluff downpour
and now as I sit with my clock
I wonder if the sky forgot.
My alarm has long past sung to me
But I snooze and listen joyfully
waiting very patiently 
for a message from the school.

We were promised just the day before
that skies would dump a fluff downpour
now I wait most anxiously 
and tap to ticking time.
An hour now has passed away
and not one word has come to say
that, just as promised, snow has fell
upon my middle school.

We were promised just the day before
that skies would dump a fluff downpour
and now I realize I'll be late
if school's not canceled soon.
I check the web and view the news
and just once more I hit the snooze
but when it rings once more I'll know
that I am late to school.

We were promised just the day before
that skies would dump a fluff downpour
and now...
Look! Wait!
That's a snowflake!
I'm staying home from school.
