just a bit off the top

from the perspective of a Blade of Grass

what a glorious day, the Sun really brings out my green

and the Wind in my hair feels great

that Rain was refreshing, a bit much for my taste, but I’ve grown two inches so I can’t complain

what’s that You have there? it looks a beastly machine

oh, it’s that time of the week already? just a bit off the top my friend, that’s all I need

ah! what the hell man, You’re ruining my youthful glow, You’ve cut me bald

maybe your Dad should take the next run

ah that’s better, it’s growing back now, more comfortable,

the Rain was so cold on my bare head,

I lost my Charlie* Sheen, from malachite to brown like ground beef,

your crew cut made me weak, my hair is power you see,

keeps the acid from seeping into my core.

it’s bounce and volume supports your rolling soccer balls and feet as You run about, growing with You

like Dickinson, “a narrow fellow occasionally rides” causing a rift amongst myself and my counterparts, though we don’t mind

it makes us stronger

amongst my family the Bugs thrive, hiding from your prying eyes,

them You fear, so this solid do You, I, and yet You still betray me?

who’s this you’re sending out to me? a friend to keep me company? a dog, how cute!

his paws tickle my cranium through my luscious lock,

his playful panting cools me so, his dashing to and fro so funny,

ouch! struck by the ball he chases so,

ah! that was close, he nearly guillotined me, oh well, can’t complain, he’s adorable

oh crap!

the end.

Author's Note

* - ostentatious but lacking in quality

random capitalization to define Characters and Allusions

its really quite cruddy but figured I'd share it all the same, tear it to pieces if you wish, it'll help me grow as a writer

That was a really interesting and entertaining perspective. The note at the end really helped to explain the odd capitalization; it was a bit confusing in the beginning. You may want to capitalize the first letter of every sentence to help make the end and beginning of each thought easier to decipher, if you don't think it'll take away from the emphasis of the other words.
