too long...

too long...

it's been too long since
laughter
it's been too long since
smiles
i'm tired of living on memories
the good times
the bad times
things shared
i want new ones
it's been too long
i miss you

Here's a short little poem that didn't really take me too long to write.  I feel this way with missing people sometimes.  Like right now, I miss my sister and brother-in-law, my friends from when I was at Oklahoma Christian, and especially my boyfriend.  Summers are hard when people live far away!  :-P  So...  Let me know what you think!  Feel free to share!  Also, here is a picture from my yard that I took a while back.  It's perdy!

The Goldfish

The Goldfish

The common pet goldfish
Has exactly one wish
To remember something
That was just happening
Three seconds ago,
But his brain's too slow.
So this poor fish pet
Will always forget
And will not recall
Anything at all
From three seconds ago
Since his brain is too slow.
How hard it must be
With no memory
Where you cannot recollect
Or even try to reflect
On the things you have done.
That just doesn't sound fun.
So I think my only wish
Is to not be a goldfish.

I had some pet fish in my dorm room when I lived in Edmond.  I wasn't very successful with them.  Let's just say I used to toilet to the great fishbowl in the sky for a lot of them.  :-P  Oh well, I'm sure those fish won't be the last ones I have in my lifetime.  I always thought that having a tropical fish tank would be cool, but I don't think I'd be able to take care of those kinds of fish.  Who knows...  Anyway.  I hope that you enjoyed my fishy poem.  Feel free to share!

Also I will be gone and away from my computer all of next week.  So, sadly, I won't be able to post anything for a while.  :-(  I will be back though, and I will try to do some writing while I'm gone.  Enjoy this poem for now and any of my old poems, and I will be back soon!
