 Cuckoo Bird Blue
It started out a normal day The wind tugged at the trees. The day started out as always, Until I heard the voice call to me. I live alone in my blue house, A pantry and dim light. Puzzle pieces in every nook, Creaking stairs that say goodnight. My yellow bird whistles a tune, Every now and then. When the clock strikes twelve, it never fails Cuckoo bird sings again. Then all falls silent in my blue house The only sound is one. It's not my bird, nor the wooden stairs, That voice tells me to run. All doors are locked from the outside, There's no place for me to go. In my blue house the days are gone, With no way for me to know. One night my bird stopped whistling, That blue house I once adored. The clock strikes twelve and this time it failed, The cuckoo bird sang no more. Written by Stephanie (Sterp) Evelyn

 Forever Day
A poem by Stephanie (Sterp) Evelyn It falls from the sky A soft, loud hum Delicate and violent all at once. I search for time I call to day or night, Behind locked doors, with no end in sight. What day is it? Or what should I ask instead? Abandoned by light, darkness left to befriend. Violent and delicate, together as one It falls from the sky A soft, loud hum. Time ignores me Or has she laid to rest Because day and night are no longer distinguished? Everyday is a Forever Day Too long, too short and then again At least I found a new best friend. |
