Fouettes On the Moon By: Samantha Lattanze
Something Like That I walk upstairs, my ankles popping even though I’m only 12. My hand slides along the rough wooden banister, And I trip when I step from the last stair to the spiral rug. I pick myself up off the ground, and brush my jeans off, Hoping that nobody saw that My bedroom door is to my right. I turn the doorknob; the door Creaks open And it takes me a minute to register That the walls are blue, not pink with Accent squares. Those are gone Forever. I’ll never get them back. Well, at least not the exact same ones. I don't miss them wait, Yes, I Do. They were painted by my dad and grandpa when I was 4 Or something like That.
I
don’t
remember

Hitting the Lamp Post We gather, or wait On a cotton candy cloud A cotton candy cloud darkening With our weight On my signal We all Fall at the same time Each choosing Our own Path. I fall faster than the others. I didn't change my course And I hit The lamp post.

The Bent Tree The branches of a bent tree Carrying The weight of the leaves That are troubled Thought The birds That are angry words The snow That is the time spent wallowing in the Sadness and the Never ending winter Which is life

A Sock Falls I keep my socks In a brown wooden box In the laundry room. And the wet clothes I haul Out of the washer in the wall And a sock falls out.

Dance Dance is A world Where I could leap from cloud to cloud Waltz with the stars And fouette on the moon, All with keeping my feet Firmly on the ground because This is My reality My world But if my reality Is unrealistic Does that make it a dream? A wish? If I'm living a dream, does that make my dream real? Do I still have a dream? Or is my dream reality? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ixzLvAecaR
