Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?

does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
or fester like a sore-
and then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-
Like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Twinkle Twinkle

Glittering shines of light

I imagine at night

Soaring over the world forever

Jewels of the heavens

Sparkling small glimmering

I can only dream

Favorite Holiday

Fire flower,

Pyrotechnics,

Illuminated discharge,

Sky high animated bursts.

Crackling crimson

Kablooey!

Night lights,

N' mornin mess,

Celebrating self-government.

So Much Depends Upon...

So much depends
Upon
A waxy
Snowboard
Drenched in White
Powder
With a mask of
Stickers
