Stuffs I wrote, on certain females in my life. Note: I am rarely this sentimental.
"The Raspberry Poem"
All the good compliments are taken
So don't look at me like that
When I say you call to mind raspberries
Soft and red and sunny
And just a little tart
I like raspberries, dammit!
"These Things Take Time"
Hold still, please
While I spend the rest of the day making snowflakes
And all of tomorrow giving them to you.
"Your Perfect Helples Little Thing"
I hadn't realized
That by saying, "Of course!"
I'd accepted a tiara
A
Handle WITH CARE
FRAGILE
Sticker, all my own
Don't you know that
Spoiled meat turns green and
Sprouts diseases and
Gets thrown away
(all very carefully)
I'm going to mail myself to
Someone who will pop with me
All this bubble wrap
That you put here.
"Just Walk Through the Damn Thing"
I don't think I'm going to
Walk with you in spring
anymore.
Every time, you stand
At the edge of the puddle
Looking forlorn and a little
lost.
I'm sick of sinking in the
Middle of the puddle
With rusting loneliness
Gathering in patches
Just behind my knees.

I like the rasperry poem... it's cute and amusing and vaugly frustrated, and I think it holds a lot of emotion for such a short bit of writing.

The Raspberry Poem and Just Walk Through the Damn Thing are my favorites. The first because it's adorable and deep and silly all in one package. The second because not only do I agree with the title, but there's a lot that's unsaid in it but that is still picked up on, if that makes any sense. I particularly like the last three lines.
These Things Take Time is very sweet and holds as much in it as a poem that's two pages. ^_^
You Perfect Helpless Little Thing is the only one I don't really get. I do like the imagery though, so it's all okay.
