BROKEN REFLECTIONS By Jessica Z
Rain Thin sheets of rain disrupt the cold silence Of a gloomy day in the city square. The chocolate shops themselves are melting, The jewelry stores losing their luster. A tree's slim branches groan Under the icy whisper of wind, And the tentative shoots of spring Bow their heads too. Silver clouds wrap themselves Around the sun, Casting the street into darkness. It's as if night has come early, But the stars are nowhere to be seen. A street lamp flickers, its light Temporarily illuminating That shadow lurking behind the corner. A beetle scuttles away, And the shadow steps out. It is a little girl With her pink umbrella And purple galoshes.

A Bad Hair Day I look in the mirror, My feelings hard to express. What has happened to my hair? It is truly a mess! It was fine yesterday, Yet today it's in knots. It's matted, in tangles, With blue and green spots. I inspect my old pillow, Yet nothing is there, So what could be the reason For this horrible hair? I've tried every hairspray, Each potion in town. But none of them work, They just drag me down! I read encyclopedias And how-to's galore At last! Here's the answer! I shall search no more. What was the secret To hair so lush? Why, of course it would be A simple hairbrush! http://vocaroo.com/i/s0GeUKEnzIay
White The color white Is a peculiar one. It is everything, Yet nothing at all. It is the perfect cloud for the perfect sky, And a shimmering wedding gown. It is a child's mind When she is taking a test, Whiter still Than the blank sheet of paper on the desk. White is a lonely color, Preferring to be by itself. The slightest imperfection Could make it a misty gray Or a rosy pink. If the world were without white, How would it look? Would December's fresh snow Be blue? Would the silky sand of the beaches Be green? But too much of white Would be boring And leave you wondering: What happens next?
