This is a picture I took of my front yard

while standing on my porch

A little Taste of Death

I had a taste of death today.
It was caramel apples and
Cotton candy; the kind that
Melts on your tongue.

Then I started thinking
About the ferris wheel of life.
How you get on,
Thinking it'll be fun;

And you go around and around,
Seeing the conductor's face,
Like the people who keep popping up in your life;
Always at just the right or wrong time.

And even though your stuck in this cycle
it's your decision to rock back and forth;
Or just sit there losing your stomach with each
Downward fall.

Then the conductor stops you,
Which you swear it wasn't a long enough ride;
That you were jipped, but still the ride's over,
And you wonder if it was worth the money you spent.

So you walk to the concession stand,
Looking for that thing to fill your;
Unsatisfied ride, when the vendor
Hands you, a caramel apple and the cotton cand you ordered.

I Prey - By Sara Borkowski

I prey on those of weaker virtues;

I find them a veritable feast.

I quest for reasons to hurt you

and release my vicious inner beast.

No longer will I be EveryoneEveryones.

Tonight I find my own way to evict em’,

from my heart.

From them I’ll find a way to elicit an amends.

They’ll make it if their smart.

I prey on those of bad intentions,

keeping them honest

as I devour their manhood,

so they can never hurt anyone again.

Rhyme In Nine - By Sara Borkowski

I am a rhyme in nine syllables.

Was a poet and did not know it.

This is how I wanted to be seen;

through my endeavors and all my dreams.

Never Enough - by Sara Borkowski

I am never enough for anybody.
Teacher said I don't like your poem.
Tear me down and rebuild me into your image.
I am never enough for anybody.
Boyfriend said I don't understand you.
Shatter me completely and rebuild me into your image.
I am never enough for anyone.
Student calls me a cracker.
Cut me open and rebuild me into your image.
I am never enough for anyone.
Mother told me, “you are so childish.”
Crack my soul wide and rebuild me into your image.
I am never enough for anyone
but I will be enough for myself.
I will remake myself into my own image.
