1. How to be a Vegetable

Image

To be a veggie is
quite absurd, a pretty
little oddity of life
Oh carrots and cabbage, it’s a dream

But If you’ve ever wondered
what it takes to be a veggie, for goodness’
sake, just follow these tip-tap steps
to live as they say; a ve-ge-table-s life

No need for arms or legs, you see
Or stifles of worry, sadness and grief
For they darken the colour of your red
Tomato cheeks
Green umbrella, you should stretch out to the sky instead
To catch the sunlight as you stand tall
And free

Let the raindrops kiss your leaves
Twirl and spin, let the drops fall down
No shoes or fancy jackets around for snails,
Those teeny-tiny fashion thieves
That stroll above your wiggling roots
In the coldness of a brown coat

Though, beware of those pesky bugs and
their devious shenanigans
Don’t let them define your purpose
and your in-dom-it-able
-ness. Show no fear and
shout: “I’m a veggie, hear me, and I’m
vegging all about!”

There you have it, your veggie degree
for thinking about those oddities too
So if you’re feeling a bit pe-
Cu-lair, think of all, lettuce and greens
And soon enough, a veggie you’ll be!
Think like a proton; always positive ;)

2. i wish i were more like a tree

Image

i wish i were more like a tree
stronger than I ever knew
living like a mortal, while a timeless-
being at heart

i wish i were more like a tree
through rain and storms, standing as if
i had not a (particular) thing to worry
my wavy head about

i wish i were more like a tree
green and adorned with fungi to keep me
company, but perfectly immaculate
inside (/from a distance)

i wish i were more like a tree
feeling the change of tidings in my
trunk-covered bones, while waiting for
the moon to rise

i wish
i
were more
like
a tree

when you can see me
as nothing more
but a tree

This poem was sooo good! I love the imagery, and this line:

living like a mortal, while a timeless-
being at heart

Incredible! :D

Oooh I like this poem and the metaphor too! It is very emotional and kinda sad but I really like sad poems. Keep going with your awesome poetry!!

@RavenAkuma thank you so much! :) In just those few seconds I came up with that line, I loved it too. I'm glad to hear that that has shown through <33

@herbalhour thanks for popping by again! I might've picked up a few things about the creative way of writing a poem on YWS... :D

@LuminescentAnt ahhh thank you, thank you! You write awesome poetry as well! :)

3. Tuesday Night

Image

Don’t find me on a tuesday night, don’t
call or text or bring a fight, don’t wish
You left the lights on in the abyss, don’t
Try to turn back on the road, just
Don’t

Don’t deny the past you’ve left behind, don’t
Let them down on tuesday night, don’t
Think we’ve got it all sorted out, don’t live
Like you haunt the front doors, ‘cause you
Don’t

Don’t believe you’re gone for now, don’t
Make it seem like a difference, don’t make a vow
You’ll never mean, don’t try anything
On tuesday night, I know you will, but
Don’t
Think like a proton; always positive ;)
