Earth: The Early Years

When I was too dumb

They put me in Rocks for Jocks

Geography class

Fire: Whoops!

Word to the wise, folks

Mount your sconces properly

I miss that condo

Water: Hi Bobby

Swim around with me

In that old ocean of Love

Look! A jellyfish

Air: Candy Confusion

Airhead, they call me

What is that supposed to mean?

I am not that sweet

Be A Truly Beautiful Woman!
A woman who holds no grudges is truly admirable in life. Show respect by embracing a past untold. Cultivate a noble spirit. Strive to be a woman with a serene face, a tranquil heart, and a simple, pleasant smile.

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.
