NaPoWriMo 14

Carefully,
Very carefully,
The mud-stained hands guide the lump of clay.
The hands permeate the hard lump,
Slowly,
Very slowly,
Turning into into another shape.
Minutes pass,
And the clay stops twirling,
It has another shape now- it is a bowl.
Quickly,
Very quickly,
The bowl has been created.

As I walk along,
I see a fork in the road.
One path is very narrow and bending,
And one is very wide and smooth.
I start towards the smooth wide one,
But then I feel differently.
I change my direction and head toward the narrow one,
Knowing it will be an experience.

NaPoWriMo 12

I lurk in the darkest corners,
Snickering to myself.
I hide under children's beds,
Installing a sense of fear.
I am the one who pops infants' balloons,
The one who spills a child's ice cream.
I am the one who corrupts men,
Who creates all things unjust and wrong.
I am Evil.

It's funny how
Time can be so fleeting,
Or fly by me.
Time is a being
Nobody can understand.
Master of tardiness,
Queen of early arrival,
Time's fingers are in everything.
She has two arms;
One long,
One short,
To get her point across.
And she always rings a bell for every hour.

Places.
I love to travel
It's almost an addiction,
And love to talk about where I've been:
Canada
The USA
South Africa
Puerto Rico,
And the UK.
It's always an interesting topic.
But many more places I have not been,
Yet still yearn to be:
France
Italy
Russia
Germany
And Australia.
I have many more years to travel to these,
And that is my life's goal.

Everywhere I go,
I see people on their phone.
Checking their Instagram feed,
A deed they perform with ritual speed.
Updating their Facebook status,
Never with hiatus.
Or Tweeting about a sweet new shop,
Typing until their fingers drop.
This new world is filled with screens,
A realm well discovered by many teens.

Helping hands.
Navigation experts.
Papers of knowledge.
Guardians of wisdom.
Defenders against dumbness.
Swords of attainability.
Portals to the world.
Dreams of highways.
Maps.
