Freaking Ashton (Ballade)
Asking him to sweethearts went the wrong way
Ashton's nod, then a sudden turn away
Friends tried to convince him otherwise
Freaking Ashton
Prom was a sweet idea that didn't stay
You never asked me to my dismay
Though you owed it to me in my eyes
Freaking Ashton
Then we have practice for track every day
Where you get injured but run anyway
How can you be so dumb and not realize
Freaking Ashton
Ever since I met you, this next line is a common one
Freaking Ashton
Chasing Hope (Dramatic monologue)
I got told you were leaving
After our first class
But you left early
Before class even began
I had to test without you
Stressing all the way
And hope I did not fail
Because you were away
Then I had to sit
And wait for it to end
All by my lonesome self
Without you my friend
You were on a bus
Going to compete
I was cheering you on
Before you even arrived
At the far away meet
I hope you do well
And have lots of fun
While I'm stuck behind
Hoping that you've won
The Light and Deep Things (Villanelle)
We talk and laugh and joke every day
While sitting in class together so routine
But never forget the deep things we also say
It's always fun, never the same display
But it's always a very similar scene
We talk and laugh and joke every day
You open up to me when texting away
There's a lot of light talk seen
But never forget the deep things we also say
You always let me know if you're okay
And when you're tired and hurt even when it's unseen
We talk and laugh and joke every day
You always check on me which is so cliche
And it makes me feel like a queen
But never forget the deep things we also say
I always feel that you will betray and go astray
Though I know that's not what you mean
We talk and laugh and joke every day
But never forget the deep things we also say
Echoing Humor (Haiku)
Quiet laughter rings
In class between you and me
As we joke around
WIshing (Katauna)
Being of one mind
I tell you of little things
Hoping you will understand
Sparkling Show (Tanka)
Twinkling in the sky
Are diamond like stars, shining
Ever so brightly
They dance, twirling fast and slow
All apart of the grand show
Wind's music (Regna)
As the light wind blows
The leaves start singing sweetly
Adding to the flow
In the gentle breeze, the leaves dance free,
Nature's symphony, a melody serene.
Alone (Tanka)
Cast off from their love
Abandoned is not only
Desertion by those
You love deeply but also
loneliness while near past friends
Prioritization (Dansa)
Is the jar full
Filled with golf balls to the top
So that now we have to stop
Because there's no null
Is the jar full
Now the pebbles go in atop
Falling downward with a plop
Until they reach a lull
Is the jar full
Sand goes in with a drop
Filling the remaining space nonstop
Until the jar reaches its goal
Is the jar full
