MONDAY MUSES

This poem is reflecting on one poem line. “Eternal nightmare”

A block away

I heard a boom

A block away

This is trouble

A block away

It’s a dark basement

My block

Is a backyard

Filled with beautiful beautiful flowers

A block away

There’s segregation

My window looks through this

Beautiful beautiful sky

Where clouds dance in tune with the wind

My window

Looks through all of this

Blocks and blocks

All the way I can see.

In this beautiful beautiful world

This poem is about a song “summer love.” I wrote how the song represents something in my life. The song is about my friend that lives miles away and I only can see her once a year in the summer.

Summer vacation

Represents

Jovana

The balcony

Singing out to strangers

The McDonalds milkshakes

 Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla

Summer without you

Is like

A tree without soil

A flower without petals

Or

A friend without a friend

Jovana without Amber

The next poem is about a girl named Malala Yousafzai. This is my reaction.

One shot

One bullet

One touch of a trigger

Made her even stronger

That touch of a trigger

That day represents

Every man, every women for their own rights

Encouragement

Through the hard days

Support

Rights

Equality

“Education first”
