Plague Rose Poems

This is a story of the day of the dead
The day they rose from their boxed-up beds
There was fire and smoke
And blood and corpses
...

Basketball, basketball
Life is just like basketball
Shoot a million times
You won't get ‘em all
...

My home is in my head
It doesn't matter
Where I am
My friends are in my heart
...

See a sight
of color and flight
Beauty and elegance
is the mystical butterfly
...

I sit here alone
Looking out at the shore
I throw another stone
What am I waiting for?
...

I don’t believe in vampires
But I’m scared of them anyway
I have reason to believe that zombies exist
And I fear them just the same
...

We are all seashells
On the shore of life
The tide called death
Will pull us away
...

Seven lonely daffodils
Waiting to die
On this common
Winter morning
...

While others walk,
I will run.
While others hide
on a rainy day,
...

Time is dying
I am aware
You think I'm crazy
You're obliged to stare
...
