assorted poems from the girl who can't write (e.g. me)

life is

life is obsolete,
incomplete
sometimes
you just want to delete
it all and redo

but then remember
your forever
remember your forever


life is full of pain,
and regret
i shouldn't have lain,
there and let it happen


but remember
my forever,
remember my forever


life isn't fair
it tears the soul
from us,
and takes a toll,
on us

but remember
their forever
remember their forever


life isn't all bad, either






moody teen

i might be a moody teen,
i might love rock,
maybe i wear combat boots,
or maybe not,
but some days,
no matter my mood,
i just want someone to brush my hair,
and tell me that they really care


Red-Tail

Red tailed hawk, soaring up high,
you are more magnifecent than I.
Below, a lonely feild mouse sits,
then darts back into her hidden terrain,
under the creosote, smelling of rain.

A roadrunner sprints off after it's prey,
sorry Mr. Roadrunner, not today.
Mighty Colorado rushing by,
rattle snake sunning itself on a rock,
and me, wishing that I was the hawk.

(now that one ^, for some reason, the judges liked, and I won second place in a contest at Tres Reos. No idea if I spelled that right)

Okay. I've gotta split now, but I'll post more of my ameture poetry later.

Oooh! Pretty colors! *reaches out hand to stroke computer screen, and bursts into overly dramatic tears when cannot touch the lovely redness*



Okay. I'm having major trouble getting a stupid pic onto my blog, so I'm following the help instructions, which involve posting a pic on the blog, then copying the URL. So here it is. If I pull it off, the pic'll be on my profile. If not... look at th pretty colors! Oooooh!:)


ADDED RECENTLY: I can't do it without the computer knowladge of my father. So I must pic my profile later. :(
*bursts into overly dramatic tears*
My (teeny tiny) side of common sence says this: "Stop bursting into overly dramatic tears of desperation. You are not an emotional person, so shut up. You are emmbarressing me."

PETA. And the good it does.

Your Health, the Environment, and Animals Used for Food
Chickens, pigs, turkeys, cows, and other animals who are raised for food value their lives just as much as you and I value ours. They are not nuggets, drumsticks, burgers, roasts, steaks, chops, bacon strips, sausage links, or hot dogs, and they certainly don’t have any spare ribs. If someone did the same things to dogs and cats that farmers and slaughterhouse workers do to these friendly animals, they could be prosecuted for animal cruelty and locked up.
Animals on factory farms suffer terribly before they show up in neat, tidy packages at the grocery store, your fave restaurant, or a fast-food joint. They live in crowded, filthy conditions and suffer through painful procedures like branding, dehorning, debeaking, and having their tails cut off and their teeth sawed off—all without painkillers. They are crammed onto trucks and carted to the slaughterhouse, where they’re hung upside-down and their throats are slit, often while they are still fully conscious.
Did you know that each vegetarian saves 100 lives a year? Well … 101 when you count yourself. Eating animals and animal products contributes to health problems, including cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and obesity—just to name a few. You’ve probably heard Mom and Dad talking about trying to eat healthier by avoiding fatty foods, right? Well, let them know that meat, dairy products, and eggs have no fiber or complex carbohydrates and are full of fat and cholesterol.
Your parents might think that you can’t get the right nutrition from a vegetarian diet, but that’s just not true! Fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains are the way to go! So before you announce that you’re going veg, do some research and present the facts. For starters, beans, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, peas, nuts, broccoli, mushrooms, and peanuts are healthy sources of protein. And you can get the calcium that you need from beans, kale, soy products, and other green leafy vegetables.
The best thing you can do for the environment is to go vegetarian! Think about it: About 80 percent of the farmland and nearly half the water used in the U.S. are used to raise animals for food. And the sewage produced by those animals—thousands of pounds of it—often spills into lakes and streams, contaminating them.
Did you know that it takes about 300 gallons of water per day to produce food for someone who is totally vegetarian, but it takes more than 4,000 gallons of water per day to create the food needed to feed a meat-eater? Shocking, isn’t it?! Here’s another interesting statistic: Every vegetarian saves an acre of trees every year! More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to grow crops to feed animals who are raised for meat, and another acre of trees disappears every five seconds. Scary! The tropical rain forests are also being destroyed to create grazing land for cattle. Fifty-five square feet of rain forest may be cut down to produce just one quarter-pound burger.
The best thing that you can do for animals, your health, and the Earth is to go veg!

I'm a vegan, but that still could refer to me. And I've only been vegan for less than a year. I fully support PETA. I know people think they're too harsh, but I think that's one way to snap a person back into reality. I mean, God, you're saving 100 lives a year going veg. Probably more going vegan. Wouldn't you do it if you could? I mean, I'm lucky, having parents who understand, but even if I didn't, I would go veg. I wouldn't care what they said. And I'd like to point out that by going veg, you are saving human lives, too. Want to stop world hunger? Well, stop eating even one meat product, such as beef, and the grain that would otherwise have been fed to cattle is feeding many people. You aren't stopping it all they way, but you're taking a chunk out of it. It even uses less WATER, for heaven's sake. Some of you out there, (Especially teen aged and under) might think you can't make a difference. But you can. All us veg/vegans out here need your help. You can even do a meatless Monday, or something like that. What to lose weight? Well, go veg. Much more effective then the South Beach Diet. Want to cut down cholesterol? Go veg. Want to quit eating anything that once lived and breathed and walked and had feelings just like a human? I mean, it's disgusting when you think about it. We don't need meat. We are omnivores, meaning that we can eat plants OR animals. If you can make a choice to be healthier, skinnier, happier and not eat anything that once had a face on it, why don't you? Did you know that sugar (The white kind) is often ground together with animal bones to turn it white? Are you aware that you can get sugar that's just the same, except it's natural for approximately the same amount of money? Did you know that companies often put a chemical in your food that makes you addicted to it? Are you addicted to your Big Mac? Why don't you find out what is in it, exactly? I'm sure that'll turn you off. Fast.

P.S. If you're interested in going veg contact me and I'll give you the titles of a few good cook books and reference books. If you are having trouble convincing your parent(s) tell me. I have a wonderfully explanatory book by someone most of us have heard of. Does Jane Goodall ring a bell?
