                                                                        What is Love? 

Love…

Pushes us to keep trudging when all seems lost

And despair creeps in

Love…

Keeps fighting the impossible without pause

 Love…

It cannot be discouraged, cannot be blamed, cannot be extinguished

Faith turns to doubt, hope to despair, gentleness to bitterness, purity to lust, courage to fear, but

Love, never, fails.

                                                                           Beauties of the Sky

 When I gaze into the sky

I am overcome with awe and wonder,

Lightning and thunder

Intertwine with one another in a brilliant display of power.

I stand and watch with wonder…

Shining shooting stars dance across the sky

Leaving a sparkling trail behind,

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

All of them alike circling to the Sun in reverence…

Ah, the Sun, the RULER of the Solar System

Like a protective mother,

Holding her children close,

The Sun enwraps her planets in its gravitational grasp

Soothing them with her warmth…

…When I gaze into the sky

I am overcome with awe and wonder,

Admiring this wonderful world around me

                                                                             Sachi Babach

Zooming at the speed of sound

A little blur of white

Furiously flies off down the hall

Her tail wagging with delight

With her ears perked back she jerks right, left, then right again

Down bend after bend

Faster and faster she scrambles though the maze of walls

Panting vigorously, arriving at her destination

Leaping high she ascends to my covers and hovers above my face

After slowly squinting my eyes, I open them

And behold a beautiful but terrible beast…

…My little Sachi Babachi

                                                                        Saturday Morning

Waking up in the morning

I stretch my sleepy limbs,

Crawl out of bed

And trudge along

Down the hall

To kindle afresh my groggy head

Splashing water on my face

I have an epiphany!

A surge of hope and joy

Jubilance and ecstasy

It’s Saturday!

Today’s the day that I will be set free

Of the tyrant known as school

Oh la de da me!

                                                                Poetception (Poem Inception)

Thinking…thinking…

Got it!

Staring intensely at my paper

Glaring at the pearly sheets

Jotting down my musings

Tales of glory and great feats

Romance and love,

Fear and anguish

People of differing language

Maniacal monsters

Tenacious heroes

Beautiful maidens

All with one goal

…one goal

To play the role in my masterful tale

It could occur anytime anywhere!

To think!

I have the mind

The ball-point pen

To proclaim my story out to the world…

…but first I must write it…hmmmmm
