A multitude of treasures buried beneath the rubble of things once magnificent.

This is a free verse poem comprised of elements regarding nature and society.


Roses and violets

grow abundantly here

Little variation is found

For these flowers are all that abound.


Red petals cover the earth beneath my feet

Two soles sink lower and deeper

Out of sight

Out of mind

Vanishing

Slowly

Away


Disappear.


That cyan firmament like a continuous ocean you will not escape the exit burned millennia ago, washed out and flooded, are you sure it even exists?


Various tall tales and fables

Have been born of a sole identity.

It is not yours to bear.

And the reasons for your fear?


Little is justifiable in the society of thieves.

A multitude of treasures buried beneath

The rubble of things once magnificent

Now cut down to a quarter of the size;

Each and every inch demolished by lies.

Yet you still curse the heaven above all blue skies.


The lack of color is real

No fault in our eyes.

The waves of sapphire glimmer crimson

In the moonlight.


The garden is far overgrown.

The lack of consideration for the chocolate cosmos

Has caused many to wilt,

More have died.

But not the roses and violets of course.

If water is a privilege

Dehydrated you will stay

Because the watering can has never been one to stray

From the red and blue scythe of the reaper.


Numerous are the youtan poluo

Or was it the corpse flower?

That lie peacefully beneath the soil of the graves.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
