Slam Poetry: Ode to Socks

Here's a random / funny slam poem I made and preformed for my writers craft class:

Socks. People wear them!

For too many times, you are taken for granted, my dear sock. Oh! How thou makuth my feet comfy, luxurious and warm, yet I simple throw you into the laundry room at the end of the day, not a single word said. Your fluffiness is beyond measure as you care for me, and love me without issue. Even as I throw in the dreaded dryer tissue.

You cover my feet as you cover my heart with your soft, innocent skin, and today, I thank you for thou friendship.

For all the times I have abused thee, you have never abandoned. Just like a pirate and his loyal bird, or a knight and his trusty steed, you have always followed me on adventures throughout my life. Through the hot, cold, wet and dry, whatever, you have always stayed, and filled your home on my feet.

You are low, yet so high as I walk forward in life, with your assistance. While the going can go rough, and the shoes may stink, I wish to let you know, my heart stinks even more, of realizing how much I took thee for granted. For the many wash cycles of life, day after day, the fluffiness of life may depart, yet you continue through hell to hug me. I put all of my weight of my life on you, but you always get through even when I do not. A you fill the empty spaces between my shoe and my foot, my empty parts of my heart are filled.

And your brothers, and sisters, throughout the world. Different sizes, colours, styles and shapes. Let them know this message of gratitude. 

Thank you, my dear sock, thank you. And I love you.

Drama in life - Go away

I have escaped you for the longest time, yet you finally caught me,
Drama of life, please set me free,
I don't like you, its simple as that,
Just leave me alone you crazy cat!

I want to live my teen years with out the crap that nears,
Drama in high school, work and life wtf its just out there I hears,
I don't want to lose friends or others in my life,
So hitch a ride on a bus and I'll also give you a knife.

Drama, Drama go away,
Come again, no wait, just stay away, not some other day,
I want to live my life, with honesty, justice and fun,
Not lies and gossip; just fun in the sun.

DRAMA IN LIFE... GO AWAY! I want to live my life!

Remember your friends...

Remember your friends, every night and day,
They can get you out of a pickle, well, that's what they say,
Through the good and the bad, the ugly and the fun,
Remember who your friends are, and they will remember you, as much as the sun.

Share the goals and dreams, the loves and fame,
But never forget the friend who gets you there in this game,
Friends help solve problems and are honest with you,
They want you to succeed, and you should hope for them too.

When your high in the sky, and living your life,
Never turn your back on a friend, or sharpen the knife,
Jealousy, greed, hate are easy to fall to,
Don't do it, don't look at it, please, I plead to you.

Cherish and love your friends every single day,
It's true that some friends go, but still, many stay,
Never throw them in the trash, I warn you,
Friends are a special part of life, maybe even a gift too.

Take me out, to the black.

Picture by Chris Hadfield

In the black,

One giant orb of blue beneath us,

Floating around high above our big home,

Beautiful.

Never gone,

White puffy clouds fill its big clear sky,

Great blue oceans and continents too,

Always there.

Far from home,

Looking at the face of man, so small,

The darkness goes on forever on,

Face of god.

In the dark,

Our home shines so incredibly bright,

Learn to love each other must be done,

Love never dies.

Poem to the Future

Who am I? What will I be?
When I leave into the world, when I leave my family,
The sun rises on a brand new day,
Yet I cannot see the shore of the other side of the bay,

What will I do? What will I become?
Schools, Careers and jobs,
Unknown for me,
Where will this confusion stop?

Sometimes an adventure, and sometimes a curse,
Where will the wheel stop? No one knows,
Even my heart is in confusion,
And as well, my soul,

Yesterday is the past, tomorrow the future,
One cannot control either, so live today: the present,
Forget about the venom, the addiction of lies,
Live your life today, and the rest will just fly!
