Stopping Time

If I made a potion
I would make a potion that would allow me to stop time.
I think the ingredients would be a clock, of course,
some water because it’s a potion,
you need water in a potion!

And maybe a frog,
you know that’s in all of them!

It would smell horrible,
it would smell of rotten eggs and cheese!
The most terrible thing you could imagine of a smell.

I’d use it with homework,
parents,
free time,
but why stop there?
I could use it when I’m in a rush here or there.
I could do whatever I like,
with my 25 hours in a day!
That would be my potion,
my wonderful, beautiful,
useful, potion.
Wherever I take it,
wherever I use it,
whatever I do.
It would still be my wonderful.
beautiful.
useful.
potion
with a pinch of chaos
here and there.

    The potion I would make

     would be a soft pink.

     This potion will be made for love.

     It would be made

     with a little bit of sugar,

    Noises Around Me


    The noises around me 

    are sometimes loud

     and sometimes quiet.

     When it's quiet 

    I can hear the clicking of keys

     on computers when

     fingers press them down.
  • Different but all the same

    No matter,
    Our differences.
    Our Skin.
    Our Clothes.
    Our Hair.
    Our Home.
    Our Beliefs.
    Our Religions.
    We can put aside all-
    Of our differences
    And come together 
    As one.

    We can have trust in one another.
