  • "Liquid Words"


    Miracle Vines,
    of Alabama

     

    Liquid words…Yes these words I speak is out of the ordinary liquid words

    Speaking through the precipitation through the rain, sleet, and flurs

    Hurricanes and tornados in my vocabulary occurs

    Twisted words in a twister liquid words I prefer

    So when something is on my mind my words like an ocean

    Above sea level or below depending on my emotions

    My words are liquid words no potions

    Needed for the mouths of the oceans that’s closing

    My heart is needing liquid words because it’s frozen

    Waiting for it to melt so it can open

    Sometimes it’s constantly dry I reopen

    Up to the mouth of the river to start soaking

    Not enough strength to swim I start choking

    Because the bridge of trust instantly collapsed no floating

    Good deeds and dirty sins in water bottles I was toating

    Drinking to quince my thirst causing problems never knowing

    Started from a drop to a puddle I start growing

    Transforming into a large body of water I start flowing

    And I’m lost without a boat….No life jacket or no raincoat…

    To cover me from these liquid words I wrote…Matter of fact I put myself under oath

    I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth

    Sometimes my water turn from dirty brown to sky blue

    And that’s just by God’s miracles

    That makes me put it in liquid words because I’m just so lyrical…..I’m out

    Everything I imagine comes to life
    Everything I want comes to life
    Everything loved came back to life
    Everything I draw comes to life
    Everything I write comes to life
    Wait.
    Let’s stop.
    Am I imagining too much?

"My Grandmother Bonnie"

 

By Johnnae Vernon, Age 10

Springfield, MA

 

She brings me things like necklaces and rings

She is nice and clean

She wear’s colors like yellow, purple, and green

I love her she loves me

Her kisses are like butter chocolate and cream

When I have a bad day your smile makes me shine

Not theirs, not mine, it’s your smile that makes me shine
