The Color Pink

Written By Daishia O'Loughlin

 

 

 

Pink
Oh, Pink
Such a pretty color
Gorgeous
as it can be

Pink
some love
others just don't
it's too beautiful
a color to see
pink reminds me
of Barbie and fashion
now what
is so wrong
with that?
Too nice
too happy
too feminine
to sweet
but still beautiful
as a matter of fact
Pink
is the sky
when the sun sets
pink
is the color
of flowers
and pirouettes
ballerinas
barbie dolls
dresses
princesses
pink
is a color
so happy
and free
yes, pink
is a color
that captivates me

Cereal

by Daishia O'Loughlin

I never thought

I'd see the day

that I'd live off of cereal

but I have to say

when I have no access

to any other food

it's satisfying

and brightens my mood

Honey Nut cheerios

are actually quite healthy

not a lot of calories

or sugar like people tell me

As I munch on these cheerios

I'm satisfied with life

and the hunger disappears

so now the end of my strife

The picture of the happy bumble bee

sub-consciously fills my mind with glee

I'm distracted as I'm no longer hungry

This is actually quite sad...but oh well...poor me

Cereal is a food

for those who are desperately in need

of relief from the pain

of being hungry

Cereal is a food

that children like me

will eat gladly

hungry or not

It's simply fate, or destiny

ENC 1102

ENC 1102

The last english class

before I am through

So much to learn

so much to do

Was there more to learn?

Yes, it was true

 

Essays, Essays,

and projects, galore

I thought I'd learned it all

but here I learn more

and I wonder

Will my brain fall to the floor?

Writing is a priviledge

yet can be such a chore

 

I believed I knew how to argue

and how to persuade

But hey, We all learn things new

Possibly everyday

We may not be children

but we are not quite adults

and this is a necessity

if we kids want results

 

So let's read

let's write

make our young minds bright

At the end of this tunnel

there is a light

The light of "We're done!"

"We're finished! We're free!"

The light of "No more papers!

"Hi, summer! Yay me!"

This engaging class

that has proven a chore

hath drilled in us knowledge

of persuasion galore!

The Woods

by Daishia O'Loughlin

Sitting here

alone

it's pleasant

and tranquil

not much noise

not many people

It's so quiet

almost still

I lay here

staring at the sky

so beautiful

so young

but old

and radiant

full of secrets

and meaning

Why is nobody here?

Rather than wonder why

I must enjoy it

and watch the beautiful sky

enjoy what's left of nature

Nobody cares

Nobody can judge

as I enjoy my air

and I love it

Moments Like These

Written by Daishia O'Loughlin

It's moments like these

that are beautiful

rare and one of a kind

It's moment like these

that I adore

they are rare

and hard to find

Beautiful scenery

few people to be found

a lonely spot

where I may relax

Lovely peace

so sweet and sound

Here, I see a fountain

glowing between the trees

The MLK memorial

anyone can visit

as they please

Under this sweet architecture

I write

As my legs enjoy the breeze

of climate

that couldn't be more perfect

And I say all this

with ease

Because it's rare

that outside tranquility

blesses me

and showers me with peace

It's rare that

I have time alone

to rest along with the trees

I wish that

any time in my life

I could pick a second to freeze

so I may find myself

with nature

and be mesmerized as I please

So I may embrace every minute

in which I have this air to breathe

It's moments like these

that make me enjoy life

and appreciate the world

It's moments like these

that rejuvenate

the dying strands 

of my world
