Icecream Stand

a poem



The ice cream man, broke the first waffle cone, so he had to get another one. He told me to call him Paul, but he looked like a saint, so I called him St. Paul. When he looked down at me, I could tell he thought I was an angel, but he didn’t know I had a knife in my pocket, that made me a bandit. I didn’t look like one because dad said I couldn’t ride my horse around town. I smiled at him when he handed me two ice creams, one for me, one for Cali. I was surprised there were still ice cream stands, seeing it was autumn.

My Mother

a poem




She always carried that knife. Even when she was broke. We buried her in late autumn, two miles out of St. Paul. She was buried deep down in the earth. With the plastic angel Cali gave her, and her horse’s saddle tucked under one arm.
I kept the knife. But I vowed to never be broke. I put her high school picture I found in her diary next to the grave. After some thought, left the knife there as well.



This is fictional, my mother is perfectly alive, but I just like writing poems from fictional character's points of view.

Juicy Summers

a poem



I remember the summers in St. Paul to be real Juicy. What with Cali getting married, when Sarah fell off her horse and broke her arm, I remember Aunt Watermelon giving her a lollipop and Sarah sticking her tongue out at me, I didn’t get one. I decided that if I wanted a sucker, I’d have to work for one. I spent all day picking flowers, cutting the stems with my knife so I wouldn’t pull up the roots. I gave them to Aunt Watermelon. She called me an angel, but didn’t give a sucker. I remember looking down at Aunt Watermelon’s fluffy slippers and wishing I had some.

    Autumn is juicy, just not as juicy as summers are.





Hope you liked it! I don't actually have an Aunt Watermelon, this is completely fictional!

Flowers of joy.

credit

Flowers dust the fields like blush across a girl's cheek. 
If you dig a hole into the ground under a field of poppies, 
you would find a girl, your age. 
If you talk to her, you would find that the
sound of her voice is like the smell of roses and lilacs.
She is your friend.
