Little SoldierThe lonely little soldier on top of the hill
knows he must fall; it's part of the drill.
He appears so lost, and doesn't know what to do...
so he looks with searching eyes up to the great blue.
He thinks and he ponders about what may come,
and while the heavens are uncaring, the wind starts to hum.
A spirited dirge on fluttery wings
is the only clue of what the future brings.
Its whispers tell of ages past,
and how the time has flown so fast.
The little soldier closes his eyes,
letting his heart say its last goodbyes.
Wrinkles tell of experiences taking their toll,
and wearily speak of the years they stole.

Home?this is a yellow brick house
that is home to many a mouse,
but is not one to me.

this house is a stepping stone
that wears me to the bone,
but i don’t let anyone see.

this house carries voices
that limit my choices,
but i will one day fly free.

this house is so sick
that it sucks my life like a tick,
but i will not fall to my knee.

this is a yellow brick house
that doesn’t attempt to rouse,
but i will carry on, and simply be.Home? by ~QuirkyBrainiac

Ode to the SensesClouds laze around a fiery sun.
Slowly drifting on a vanilla breeze
That tickles the palm fronds with casual fun.
The saccharin aroma wafts along, only to tease
My nose. I let it encase me with complete ease.
A taste lingers in my mouth: peppermint bliss.
Adding to the cloying layer of vanilla, it makes me beg for more with a 'pretty please'.
Just the thought of more makes me miss
Those lazy days on the beach, hoping to kiss
The waves. The water's pounding on the rocks
Is puer music, a piano perfectly cascading with the mint's hiss
In my mouth. The water crescendos and knocks
Into my feet, drenching my socks.
My feet squish through the whiOde to the Senses by ~QuirkyBrainiac

O Teacher! my Teacher!Parody of "O Captain! my Captain!" by Walt Whitman

O Teacher! my Teacher! My homework is done,
The paper has weathered my brain, the grade I sought is won,
The end is near, the bell I hear, the students all hurry,
While we all hasten through the hall, the school loud and noisy;
But O no! no! no!
O the cursed numbers of red,
Where in the room I sign the sheet,
'Late sign in,' it said.

O Teacher! my Teacher! I tried not to be late;
"Rise up--for you a tardy--for you shall answer next,
For you have question number one--for you must answer right,"
For you, teacher, the answer I will give, students' eager faces turning;
Here Teacher! deaO Teacher! my Teacher! by ~QuirkyBrainiac

"Broken" really does exemplify this piece. Your pain is felt through the haphazard yet purposefully placed color. The sad blue hues mir...

This piece, in my opinion, is the best you have so far. The dark backdrop blends perfectly with your graphic tee and raven-black hair. ...

Hey! So I'm a high school senior who loves the arts and sciences, reading, writing, being in nature/with animals, volunteering/working, sports, hanging with friends, etc. I'm goofy and random and adorkable. I enjoy both the complex simplicities and simple complexities in life, as well as everything in between. I post mainly poems and photos these days, along with journals about my wacky family and their zany antics. Let me know what you think!!

And stike up a random conversation! I love to talk, so yeah, hit me up ^_^ I'm a very open person, and anything you want to know, just ask! No worries... I don't bite! ..much. O.o Kidding! I'm kidding! Hugging, on the other hand, I will do quite often...

Disclaimer! Please, please, please, PLEASE don't take it personally if I rave about your art, and don't put it in my Favorites. Please don't be offended! I have decided for now, because there is so much amazing art on here and impossible to put it all into my favorites, that I won't be putting anything into that category. If I love your work, I'll tell you and put a watch on you. Okie dokie? Thank you for listening and understanding! And please take no offense if I call you "dude" in a message; I call everyone dude for emphasis because they rock, regardless of the connotation of 'dude'

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...... NO TAGGING!!!!!!!!! I never do it and it is just irksome. Please and thank you for respecting this!!! Much appreciated

Parents Say the Darnedest Things...--3/6/13

Journals / Personal

So we finished dinner and we're all just talking about random stuff. My dad and I are sitting, and my mom is at the kitchen doorway. She is about to head into the hall after my dad gave her playful grief about something, she says, "I need a vacation... far, far away". All in good humor of course.

So I pipe in and say, with a big, cheesy grin plastered, "How about to Alaska?"

Mom: -.-
Me: But then you could be with Sarah Palin! *even bigger, cheesy grin*
*gasps* You could hunt together!!

*nods enthusiastically*
Mom: *dirty look* I'm menopausal. Do you REALLY want to put a gun in my hand?
Me: *without hesitation* YUP!
Mom: The only thing I would be hunting is HER!

We all crack up at that. My mom leaves to go to her sewing room. Meanwhile my dad and I start up a scenario...

Dad: So I haven't seen your wife for a few days...
Me: Yes, she went on vacation to Alaska to hunt

Dad: Oh, what does she hunt?
Me: *another cheeky grin* Big game!

Then we start cracking up again, and I go to my mom to tell her our little scene... to which I receive a funny glare and an order to do my homework, which I don't start for another half hour
