Mumbo Jumbo

Posted on by Calista 
Mumbo Jumbo
That's my phrase
To describe 
What goes on 
Up in my brain
Too many thoughts 
And projects to name
Personal 
Or otherwise publically named
Take deep breaths
And write it out
But wait...
Hold up...
I forgot it all just now. 
What a mess. 
What to do?
Nothing ever comes out just right.
What about for you?
You see, 
When I start to multi-task
Lamas yodle 
And start to to ask
And look
There it goes
My mumbo jumbo mind
Trailing off again
And now I've forgotten
The next 5 lines
For now I'll try
To organize
My mumbo jumbo mind.

P.S. Isn’t my little messy brain dude, just so adorable. I drew him myself on the google drawings thingy in drive. I’m kind of proud of it. 😆

Writing

Posted on by Calista 
Grabbing a paper
Pickinging up a pen 
Fingers wrapped around, holding
Pen to paper
Stroking up and down
Hand gliding 
Words forming
Thoughts flowing free

I’m back with more poetry, yay! So this poem is actually based off of two prompts that I found. The first one is a how to prompt, it basically said to write a poem telling someone how to complete a mundane task that most people don’t even think about as they complete it. The second prompted me to limit myself to writing a poem with only twenty five words or less. This poem includes both of these prompts because it is 24 words long and it talks about how to write.

I struggled with the phrasing of how to explain writing. Most people would have a hard time explaining it because you learn how to write at such a young age and from there it is just muscle memory and what you have learned. You don’t normally have to put much thought or effort into the actual writing but rather what you are writing. There are so many little details when it comes to writing and I wasn’t sure how to phrase them all, so my poem is really just about the basic idea of writing, rather then how to actually write.

This poem was really relaxing to write and allowed me a break from my homework, so I hope you enjoy it. It may seem simple, but there is so much behind everyday tasks that you may not think about.

Until we meet again…

7/7

Posted on by Calista 
Staying up too late, and scrambling to finish
 Waking up to smiles, painted yellow
 Boring, skipping, guilt, that's what I felt
 Sadness with a cute blue jacket, Disney bound
 Health and good feelings with a new friend, Peabody
 The perfect day full of movies and sushi!
 Visiting Lola, with jello and feeling lazy 
 And that's the end of my week!

Daily poetry post! Let’s hope I can actually keep up with this one.

Today’s prompt was to write one line per day of the week, based on what happened last week for you. So it may sound messy, but it’s my week, one day per line, yay!

Until we meet again…

The Untouchable

Posted on by Calista 
You tell me that I’ve got this 
 But do I really?

I don’t believe 
 I do
  
 I watch myself 
 sink further
 Until out of reach
 From me and you 
  
 You reach out 
 to grab me 
 I let myself
 Sink further away
  
 No belief
 And all alone
  
 People say I’ve got this
 But I don’t believe 
 That I do
  
 It’s always
 A little further
 Then I can reach
 And you could care
  
 So I sink further
 Into my own self despair 

I have decided to write daily poetry and the prompt I got for today was the untouchable. The description said, something that would always be a little bit out of reach. As I thought about this the first thing, I came to was belief in myself. At this moment right now, I think I lack a lot of belief in myself and look towards others for self reassurance way too often. So, I think I shall try to be more self cofident and sure of myself.

Until next time…

Love

Posted on by Calista

What’s so great about it?
Why does everyone want it?
Do I need it?

It is such an easy word
To throw around
Why do we give it so much meaning and yet so little?

We say “I love it!”
Do we really?

What is love?
How do you love?
How do we use love?

So easy to say.
Too easy to say.
So much meaning and yet so little.

Do I need love?
Do you need love?

Maybe not.
But do you crave it and want it?
Simple, yes.

That’s why I hate it and the word.
It’s too easy to use or misuse.
Too easy to say.

And love itself is such a touchy subject.
Can you say it?
“I love it” or “I love you”

It should be heavy
When you say it

It should hold meaning
But does it?

A poem based off a weekend challenge that I missed the deadline to.  So here I am posting it here, because I haven’t posted poetry in awhile.

Until we meet again…

Labels #2

I am more than my label

I  am more than my name

I am more than the feelings

That shines through my pain

~

Who am I

I am the girl

Who sits behind you in math class

And hardly dares to breathe

~

I am the quiet unspoken words

I am the brainiac or bookworm

I am the one who does it all

~

I don’t have feelings

Or a reason to worry

For my life is perfect and without care

~

I am the girl who gets good grades

I am the girl who isn’t afraid

I am the girl who doesn’t have emotions

I am the girl who wishes no hard feelings

~

I am the girl who gets disappointed

I am the girl who cries over Bs

I am the girl who shakes her head when you start to breathe

The vicious vape that corrupts your brain

And turns you into the monster you are today

~

Who am I really

I am the girl who loves poetry

I am the girl who bakes feverishly

I am the girl who laughs and who cries

~

The question is who am I to you

I am the girl who isn’t ever seen

I am the girl listens to your pleads

I am the girl that doesn’t seem to break

I am the girl that worries over useless mistakes
