Their painted faces,
White rimmed eyes, cry for justice
Flip this art denied!

Improv -

You just can't say no.
Use your own voice, build off gifts
Given, learned, and sowed.

today's Saturday away
in a steel jawed couch.

To the zoo, I went
And saw, myself fifty years

There is a Dragon

There is a dragon inside your school.

Roaming the hallways, seeking out ghouls.

               Tough and majestic, silly and sweet;
               Friend to the strong, protector of weak.

               A dragon who cries, breathes fire and might;
               Guarding a treasure during the moonlit night.

               When all is quiet, when children have gone;
               when doors have all closed with a whisper of song –

               The dragon appears on its nightly patrol.
               There is a dragon inside your school.

In the Evening -

I never want to
Write it, I want to live it
To blow this box out.

Pull its' petals on a whim,

Untouched, on her own.

Of a week end break.
