My Thoughts on Poems Cindy L.
To Be Six Again
Don’t you wish you could be six again, To be small and innocent to everyone? To make messes without a care, To break things. To run and fall, To cry and bawl, And have everyone think you’re cute?
Wouldn’t you want to six again? To remember the achievements you made, All the attempts you bade? And have people be wowed? To have people be proud?
Maybe someday, When people have their way, When were all scientific, We’ll invent a time machine, To soar back past the valleys and ravines, To see when you were six, And ages before then. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1LCrVeOQqXU
Ode to Food
Steak. Steak tastes good, It always should. Pizza. That’s good too, Yummy cheesy crusts to chew. Soup. I’ll drink more than one scoop, For this is worth munching Before eating something. Spaghetti. That’s worth some confetti. It’s really yummy. Yay for food, It’s good for you.
Food, that is great. It keeps you alive So you don’t die. Keeps you alert. By the way, what’s for dessert?

Fear
You say there has to be symptoms to be sick.
To show coughing, or sneezing, or wheezing. You say that you have to look pale, with a cold, Or tired with a virus. You say sickness has to be seen or heard.
What about the times with sweaty palms, The times with dry mouths, Every beat faster your heart becomes. Something that causes stress, And you tell me don’t worry?
What about the times where you can’t speak, Your hands shake, As cold as ice, From the dizziness that overwhelms? Why do you tell me to chill out?
Sickness, I say, doesn’t have to be seen. For what about the mind besides the body? Your body can catch colds, flus, and diseases, But your mind, can catch fear.
