Hitch Your Wagon To a Star


This is a poem I wrote a while ago... Take what you will from it. 

Emerging though the jungle;
a mighty  barrier barred way.  
Look left
Look right
a door is found.
Pushing, pushing, pushing
and with an immense thud 
opened.
Emerging from the cold stone 
blinding palates of color
illuminating bleakness.
A rockey path lead through
the towering trees that
dance in the soothing gust.
Walking, walking, walking
a sound in the distance
disrupting the quiet trees.
Emerging into a clearing 
an amazing sight
cascading over the edge 
into existance. 
Water.
Closer, closer, closer 
drawing, 
perfect aquamarine, 
lined with 
emeralds, violets, and lemons. 
At the base of the ever falling cascade
curtains of cloud. 
Birds black figures 
against a blazing fire of light,
perfect circle, 
holds up the world
suspended in unbroken blue. 
This is a stupendous paradise. 

-Kat


These are a few more fun poems I had written, around the same time
certain lines though out my poems have some meaning to me. The objects themselves do not

Across the green lawn 
a little bird hops on by
with a brunette top coat
and a fire underbelly. 
He is recognizable immediately.
He has a plump body, and a long slender beak
and two little orbs of black, 
all positioned on two slender sticks
I walk outside onto the front porch, 
and observe his actions. 
He pauses attentive to my actions
and I to his. He goes back to his hunting. 
I move slightly, he spreads his wings and
with a powerful beat, he has lift off

He is now mine.

Abandoned in the
middle of Nowhere, 
a Cup, 
aged and chipped,
dust covered. 
Looked as if
fire had caressed 
the finish, 
it was coal black , 
fragile. 
Cant take my eyes off of it
Impatient hands pick It up 
It shatters...
