jasmine shipp Poems

I can’t go to school because I am sick
If I walk out my house I’ll get hit by a brick

I can’t go to school because I’m afraid
...

Life is every where
It is in you now and forever it shall stay
Life is the wind blowing sideways
Life is the winter and the summer
...

White magic women seen walking on the rode
White magic women with poison lips and bitter eyes
White magic women with that black magic hair
White magic women with skin and bones
...

I don’t like the rain
It’s boring and wet
It messes up hair and clothes
When it rains I sit in my room
...

Laying on the beach with my feet in the sand
Swish, Swish, Splash, Splash
Water covers the sand and my feet
Chomp, Chomp crabs threaten for me to get off their land
...

You wonder where you’ll be next year
Just trying to see the sun again
You strive for a cool breeze on a hot day
Wishing things where different
...

I like candy leaves
And lollypop shoes
I love the sweet smell of butterscotch cheese
And blubbery colored screws
...

There once was a field of grass

That danced to the singing of the wind
...

Like a slug crawling down a tree
The rain dropp slowly leaves its wet trail behind
Looking for other fellow rain drops
Only wanting to be friends with them
...
