poem #26

the hummingbird peck at my eyelids
with the crimson feathers that blend with the
pink outlines. the feathers dance across my cheek and
the hummingbird now moves to my heart, vibrating through my
veins and i see the sakura trees hung close to the broken
wood fence where i would dance and hang onto your every word.
the hummingbird dies after winter and
i kind of wished i kept it inside of a cage

You have so much potential and love bursting in you. -Omnom

poem #27

the roses curl and twist while
their buds flourish along my spine to my toes where
they grow brighter than before. yellow bees become my eyes as i
glare into the sun for the last time, wishing for you to finally notice me
with my garden growing just right for your taste.
You are like a blacksmith's hammer, you always forge people's happiness until the coal heating up the forge turns to ash. Then you just refuel it and start over. -Persistence (2015)

You have so much potential and love bursting in you. -Omnom

poem #28

we look at the clouds for faraway lands and
we hoped the summer wind would blow us away; dandelions.
touching the pink sky, there was a peachy flavor left on our tongues and
we kissed under the blue moon. tulips grew in my hair and-
the china plates were only used for dinner but you
went ahead and used them for shooting practice.
rocks breaking against windows; romeo and juliet must've been jealous.
summer ended as winter begun, the coldness settling in my heart and
i tried to look for happiness in all the wrong places. but i only found happiness
when i was with you.

poem #29

we are almost done with
plastic yellow sun hats and gleaming
smiles that hold almost every secret. the dirt track is
muddied from your tears while the horses whinny, locked tight
in prison cells. colorful flags wave against the sky, interlocking
emotions scattering like paint on a canvas. we hold hands with hope
that we don't run away from the race and end up in
last place.
You are like a blacksmith's hammer, you always forge people's happiness until the coal heating up the forge turns to ash. Then you just refuel it and start over. -Persistence (2015)

poem #30

we stand under the empty sky, our tears are the heavy rain drops
that protect us from the happiness we wish to feel.
we hold hands and close our eyes while the small breeze drags
us away from this moment.
i told you to never look back but
you were always worried about everything and
i didn't stop you;
because all we ever were was
reckless history.

Congratulations on completing NaPo!! :) Your last poem is really powerful, you somehow make your description of crying not-cliche. And I like the two words you chose to end it on; "reckless history." the pairing of those two words says a lot. I also should say that I really enjoyed your poem about time that you posted earlier (23?) and the poem with the line about the death of fireflies was also one of my favorites. :)
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Just looking at these last few poems, you have an awesome use of nature imagery. Congrats on finishing! Also, I find it funny that both you and I and @Nikayla referenced dandelions at least once. I wonder if there's more, haha.
