Forgotten in the mist

Yesterday someone woke up late.
They woke up only in time to paint the dawn,
But then all the others colors had been neglected,
And they need to be painted for life to go on.
So they just opened their refrigerator for some iced water to think it over.
As they opened the refrigerator, cold air rushed out and over the world.
They cried out in horror, for now you couldn't see anything.
Which, they realized, was exactly what they needed.
They then set to coloring the world
But forgot to paint some whales in the ocean
So I didn't see any
Yesterday morning
Because someone woke up late.

Autumn Sunset

The green trees mark the edge of my yard
Meeting the blue skies
That turn to pink
And red that meets
A fiery orange that caresses
The fiery sun as it hugs the horizon
Blazing the sky into colors
Of the center of the universe
Purple clouds roll in
From the east
In all their size and true colors
As the sun sets
In Autumn.

Jean Jacket

There's a jean jacket slung over my chair in my room.
It's supposed to be too small, it fit me in third grade.
I wore it for picture day.
I still have the picture. It had a fluffy collar that I was shoving in everyone's faces, insisting they feel the fluffiness.
I forgot my glasses that day. Now, I still have the jacket.
The collar I took off and used it somewhere, but I haven't felt compelled to look for it yet. It has two chest pockets and two pocket pockets.
Then, the pockets were empty. Now, it contains surprises.
In one chest pocket is a paintbrush that does not fit. The other has some small pencils and a whistle. The actual collar, when you take off the extra fluff, is just plain denim. I've adorned it with five pins, to add some excitement.
Tomorrow is picture day. I'm going to wear my jean jacket and dangly earrings like you've never seen before and you probably won't find in anywhere. I'm going to wear a necklace, and maybe a mood ring.
I'm wearing my blue pants with silver stitching.
For shoes, I'm wearing my sneakers, and lucky socks just in case you were curious. ;)
I hope you're not curious enough to be wondering about my underwear, which I'm not telling you.
Shirt wise? My rainbow tye-die (die as in die if you don't like my t-shirt) t-shirt.
But it's all underneath my five-pinned, collar-missing, pockets full, not too small, jean jacket that fit me in third grade.

9/11

On September 11th, ten years ago today,

Four planes were hijacked by terrorists.

Two of the four crash-landed in to each of the Twin Towers, or World Trade Centers, killing many people inside of the building and all of the passengers in the two planes.

-A film of the collapse of the two twin towers.

One of the other planes crashed into part of the Pentagon, also killing a few people and all of the passengers.

The last plane never hit its intended target.

The passengers realized what was happening and took over the plane, steering it away from the White House and crashed it into a field.

But there are some people that go out of their way to say that 9/11 was a hoax.

In the movie above, I heard people screaming, utterly terrified.

But there's another movie, that shows you the collapse with smooth saxophone jazz music playing.

I think that that is extremely disrespectful.

The death toll was estimated at 6,000 and these people are busy saying it was a hoax.

People, please have a moment of silence for all that was lost ten years ago.

Please read every period I write. They are the silence.

I wrote exactly 6,000 periods. Each one counts as a person that died in 9 11. If the toll is less, than may each person get two periods. If there were more, than I hope my periods were enough.

PS; 9/11 has the same number as 'Dial 9-1-1.'

It's not funny that the emergency number is the same as a huge emergency.

Bless all the souls that died on the fateful day ten years ago, and hope for the families that suffered losses.

I let the water run down my shiny new boots, admiring the effect the water droplets gave my flowery bogs.

I then cheerfully sprayed the water up into the air for no reason except for-

Ahhhhhh, a double rainbow :)---> (( 

See, rainbows exist Everywhere, but like ultraviolet light, water is needed to expose the true beauty of these prismatic arches.

So, next time you are hosing your car down, give those rainbows a chance to expose themselves as the true children's smiles they are.
