Poetry Workshop: Love

My Love

I am a warm crackling fire on a cold winter's night.
I am hot chocolate with big puffy marshmallows
floating lazily in circles, the creamy mounds melting.
I am the sound of dead leaves crunching underfoot
on a blustery atumn day.
Warm,
fuzzy,
soft,
sweaters wrapped around me.
I am the color of a gleaming yellow flame
from a deep crimson candle.
I am a slow, lazy cat stretching and circling.
Stretching each inch of its body.

My Parents

I am the smell of tobacco and
perfumey deoderant close to my nose
I am a cinimon latte with
whip cream and sprinkles on top
I am a song for every
occassion and a trilling laughter
I am a crushing hug that
makes me cry, a giant boulder on my chest
I am the color of orangey
tomatoes in a big garden salad and
I move like the wind howling
over the flower pots outside my window

i wrote these at a poetry workshop/concert and read the first Love one for open mike :)
