Snow is like a lottery ticket,
Glittering comfort,
Surprises coming down in all directions,
You never know what you will get.

Transparency feels like an empty building,
Abandoned imagination,
Where joy used to spread,
Like dye on silk,
Now erased.
Transparency,
Forgotten everything,
Except
Itself.

Moon
acts like a prowling
cat,
with shining silver
eyes,
glowing in the
night.
Never seen in the
day,
both are creatures of the
night.

Rain falls like numbers,
never ending,
for both qualities go right back up.
Adding, rising
subtracting, falling
multiplying, evaporating
dividing, repeating.
Snow falls like the alphabet.

both their own
world,
both their own
day,
both are
alive.

Night ends like a play
the blinds close
the viewers applaud
I hop into bed and
The scene ends the curtains open once more,
And a singer waltzes on stage,
She sings a
Lullaby,
Gently, gently, singing as I doze off to sleep
Erased from life,
Then, the dreams come in,
gone

Fresh lavender
tastes like homemade sorbet, with thick, cold creaminess, golden like my mom makes,
too good to resist
like deep lavender
I smell in my mom’s
perfume.

Silk is like night,
in the beginning, soft cool and sweet,
or, as a red stain
dark and threatening,
dark on white
like the moon at night
with only two colors
there
forever.

Dew,
calm and clean
like a new day.
Ahead of me dropplets
slide down the blades
of the
wet
rainy
grass.

Trees are like dancers,
Gliding across
A dance floor.
With their branches
Waving like arms,
And leaves swaying
To the beat
Of the music.

Lavender feels like rain
Soft as fur,
Light as snow,
A magical aroma.
Like a garden,
Lavender is as
Free as a bird.

Eagles are like Seahorses,
gliding in the air
and under water
the graceful bird swoops
down to the ocean
and calls
“want to play?”
but Seahorse just races
along swift fully
and tries to get to the end of the ocean.

Rain falls like petals from a flower, crystal like drops are free to explore, delicate, gentle pillow petals, dance from top to bottom, revealing its different colors, hitting the ground ever so softly. I wish I could be like them, but thats just a dream.

Mountains stand high like giant upside down Thumbtacks with sharp pointy peaks,
Usually sat on, they relish your scream of pain.

I am fire,
Snapping unexpectedly ,
alight with the smallest spark,
getting higher, until I’m
put

I am a snow storm,
dripping emotions,
like a battle, fighting for life,
or a joyful wedding,
not seeing clearly.
A tormented bees' nest,
angry about little things
that didn't even matter.
An open door to life,
welcoming in all kinds of ideas,
free or captured,
unprepaired

I am ice,
Slick, cool, and silent,
Like an endless frosty mirror,
Suddenly drowning you
In anger.

I am chocolate chips.
I am sweetly shared by all.
I have good taste,
a never ending pleasure.

I am plastic.
Sometimes
silent,
clear,
unnoticed,
useful, and
radiant.

Crystal rocks dance,
reminding me of a wet, fearsome, rainstorm.
glimmering snow and deep puddles.
So peaceful,
and so soothing. trying to fall asleep, while listening to the rain pour on my window.
Inviting everyone in, the world seems empty,
as if there is none left.
