Him

She feared, but also loved him

She knew she would have to go to him in the end

And so would everyone else

There was no escape

Who is he you ask?

                

Death.

Tea Party

The girls in my class had tea parties

But never invited me

“Can I come to your tea party?” I asked once

“No.” Was the straight reply  

So I decided to have my own

I made invitations

And gave them out to every girl in my class

4:00. I sat with cake and tea on my table

But no one came

“They must have thought 5:00 my dear.” Said my mother

I waited till 7:00, but no one came.

“Let’s have a tea party.” I said recently to my friends

We agreed to have it at my place

And they came

And we had the best tea party ever

Bindi

The teacher talked about something

She wasn’t listening

She was looking at her teacher’s bindi

Her big, fat bindi

It was bright red

It reminded her of the sun

The sun that gives us vitamin D

“What if there were no sun?”

She wondered,

“The world would be dark

The kids would have no sunlight to play in

The plants would bathe in darkness

The world would not know when to awake

We would be but, sad without the sun”

She looked hard at her bindi

The mind was everything, but distracted
