Fun Poems for a lighthearted day

Quirky

My cells are alive

My quarks they wiggle

I jump and jive

I snort and giggle

I may be quirky

I like to sway

I jitterbug

quiver and sashay

I’m a galaxy

My atoms squiggle

I’m full of hope

I’m all a-jiggle
~Kelly Athena

Jail

I think I’m in jail

I feel wounded, impaled

I’m pierced with self-sabotage

Maybe I should be de-clawed

The Kite

I am bold and bright

I am free and light

I am dancing high

in the sky

Yes, I am held

by a string--

but I can still see

everything
~Kelly Athena

Listening to Flowers

I hear flowers when they sing and talk

I listen at dawn while they chuckle and yawn,

lift their heads and excitedly say,

“An angel opened me up last night

I’m finally abloom— I can see the light!”

Most grown-ups don’t even hear these things

or if they do they’re afraid it’s not true

but I know it’s as real as me and you

Hush, now, and you’ll hear them too
~Kelly Athena


Drama Queen

What would you do without all your drama?

I see exclamation points 

thick as wool on a llama,

bold capital letters filling your space

Would you care to escape to a different place

where semi colons and commas are queen--

where small fonts and smiley’s 

are all that is seen?

Or would you terribly miss your drama

as much as a child misses her mama?
~Kelly Athena
