Dragons and Glitter and Ghosts and Witches

I would have

Loved

The '80's

(And the '60's

And the '70's)

I've been

Told.

(All that glitter.)

 

I've been

Popping

Bubble wrap.

(Now my

Fingers

Are rubbed

Raw.)

 

I do not believe

In witches,

But I do

Not doubt

That they

Exist.

 

I wanted to

Run,

To scream

And

Shout,

For,

Stood before

Me,

Not a ghost,

But the

Dragon himself.

(Bathed in glitter.)

 

I couldn't

Stop.

(I was running

To a stand

Still.)

 

But that wasn't

Good

Enough.

(Never is.)

 

My garbled

                    Version

                              Of

                                  Events

                                     Came

Spilling out,

I was talking

Of monsters.

                                    (Dragons and glitter

          And ghosts and

                     Witches.)

I was talking

So fast

I started

To choke.

I started

To cough

And,

Up came

(Up chucked.)

Glitter

And

Wishes.

   (All mixed up

    In tears

                 And

     Stomach acid.)

 

I am

(The watchdog)

watching

The

T.V

And surfing

Endlessly

On The

Internet.

          (Looking for signs of

                 The witches

                               And

                Ghosts.)

I Must have

Ran

My

Hand

Through

My hair

A

Hundred

Times

And still

I can't

(Eat the)

Get the

Glitter

Out.

 

 

Tears about

My

Cheeks,

Running through

My Make Up.

(Mixing up the glitter.)

 

Oh I can't

Go on

Stage

Now.

 

I'll do It!

 

(The dragons roared.)

 

Give me another

Chance,

Let me

Prove myself.

 

They all

Agreed

That was alright.

 

Except

            (The exception to the rule.)

 

"Well Thats all

Ok,

Mr. Dragon,"

Said The Witch

"But I'd like to

Know,

What did you

Do

With your

First

Chance?"

 

 

I Would've

Loved

The '80's,

(I've been told.)

But I'm not to sure.

(I can't stand shoulder pads.)

 

Reviews

[nostal]

Very witty and entertaining writing.

[Tai Ryens]

Loved your entertaining use of words, haha, good poem! :)

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks for the rather odd but entertaining excursion, Beatrice. (No shoulder pads aren't too cool. I like bell bottoms, though)

[Cassidy Mask]

What have you been smoking?? :D only joking i loved it really especially the last stanza its like after all the crazy mythical things throughout the rest of the poem it ends with something as mundane as shoulder pads. LOVE IT :D xx
