Pocketful of Green by Lil-0dd1ty, literature

Literature

Pocketful of Green

This is not a story of a victim of circumstance. This is the story of a little girl who loved the color green. Her homeland was pearly shell of sea and gray Salty and thick, black ribbons of roads Snow white sun. Green was the stuff of dreams, of crayons Of mountains of construction paper plastered on the walls She pressed her hands to and dreamt of forests And one day She fell through it. In the land of green The sunlight was golden Crowning her with lime spotlights As it sifted through the endless leaves Bounced off the emerald fur of the earth Her brown skin was as alive as the wood And seemed to burst out flora As the tre

Yeux Lumineux

Il était une fois, comme il est toutes les fois, une mère qui berçait sa fille, avec amour dans ses yeux. Elle leva sa tête, contempla le sombre monde et le maudit, craignant que sa fille soit un jour perdue au noir et l'obscurité, malheureuse qu'elle ne puisse l'illuminer à jamais dans sa totalité. Plutôt, elle somma une tempête terrible de nuages les plus noirs autour d'elle. Elle tira avec ses doigts quelques fils de lumière d'un puissant éclaire et avec son aiguille pointu et scintillant, elle cousit ces fils aux yeux de sa fille. Elle soupira de soulagement, certaine que sa fille po

Literature

Birdsong

A songbird once pelted towards me without warning As I'd been singing quietly to a sky striped with iron bars And as I covered my face, she perched on my hand I stared She sang. Curious, I drew my hand from the window She flew gracefully around my cell In a streak of violet and hope I laughed and chased her She warbled and returned to my outstretched finger And I sang with her. I showed her the gleaming lock to my prison I shared my dreams of a golden key. She beep-bopped and fluttered her iridescent wings As if she understood. I held the lock in my trembling palms Searing Weakening And when the metal was soft She plunged h

Bright Eyes

Once upon a time, as upon all time, a mother held her newborn daughter with love in her eyes. She glared at the dark world and cursed it, fearing her daughter would someday be lost to the darkness, and wished her powers were great enough to illuminate it forever. Instead, she summoned a terrible storm of the blackest clouds, pulled strands of light from the lightning with her fingers, and with her gleaming needle, sewed them around her daughter's irises. She sighed in relief when the task was done, as she knew her daughter would then shed light on everything she set her eyes upon, and would never know darkness. The babe with lightning eyes g

Literature

Bursting Imagination

I can't even imagine I can't even imagine I can't even imagine If all I've ever done is Imagine. I'm armed to face the darkening world With only the negative space between Shadow puppets Darker, ever still, under my shielding downcast eyelashes Long with Youth, spidered with mascara at attempts to adolescence Destined to shrivel and crumble away with the cruel wind of truths That I can't even begin to imagine. The spine of the Book is my roof The Pages, my walls, my wings Meant only to glide on gentle breezes of hypotheticals Blinded by the soft yellow sunbeams of Tales Warm, keeping me safe from a temperature That I couldn't i

Theory of Sky by Lil-0dd1ty, literature

Literature

Theory of Sky

Pastel sunrises Always lead to startlingly blue skies Clouds paint the atmosphere To please our artistic eye And to shield us from knowledge of the beyond. The sun blinds us As our day blooms into color And only through this blindness may we glimpse utter clarity. The world on its axis As a plastic ballet dancer in a velvet music box Pivots away from the sun And faces the rest of existence But only through the night and cloaking darkness May we glimpse utter infinity.

Literature

Home

Curled up in a haven, a shelter, a home A refuge from the world, one that's all their own The world begins to tremble; the floor starts to quake A baby's cry muffled as peace and serenity fades What towered now topples, what once sheltered now burns The survivors cluster together and confirm That chaos erupted here today But in order to survive, they must not sit there and wait The family watches as their home's set on fire And the smoke that keeps rising higher and higher Causing the little baby to cough As it fills his minute and tender lungs The young one is angry, it doesn't seem fair That these monsters show up to spread the

Shiny by Lil-0dd1ty, literature

Literature

Shiny

Streaking dragonfly wings Skidding along the lonely pond Meeting the crumbling gray boulder Meeting the glimmer in his blue eyes of sky Then droplets free falling out of the blue And raging flashes out of my heavens Lightning streaks, thunder shrieks Not knowing if blindness is darkness or light The shine of the sun blows it all away But I'm still here Catching liquid gems in my empty hands Under the green of the peaceful trees Letting the wind stream though my hair Watching streaking dragonfly wings Skidding along the lonely pond.

You Can't Paint Yourself by Lil-0dd1ty, literature

Literature

You Can't Paint Yourself

You can't paint yourself The colors you want. You can't wield the brush And be the canvas too. But suppose you do And you're almost done Just your palm and fingers Remain bare So you switch hands To paint your hand But oh no! The paint on your Other hand Rubs off! Quickly you paint that Too But your other hand Also fades And in your haste to cover it up You fall And skin your knees So that the true color shines through. It blinds me. And so you rush to repaint the knees And hide your hands behind your back Hiding their true colors And the brush you wield. But I can see them, Cassandra.

My Bio

:S drat. i always despised succinct introductions...
okay. i'm young, i'm small, i'm loud. my hair challenges the boundaries of brown and black, but likes to cultivate a few red hairs (even a BLONDE one once!) out of spite. my eyes are small in the morning and wide at night. kudos to those who can find my pupils. let's see, er... i'm hispanic? born in peru? (i feel like i say that a lot, but i do find it crucial to my identity..)
i like it when people admire me for a so-called "steadfast optimism" and "constant smile", but sometimes i wish i could be seen as more than that... maybe someone capable of deeper thoughts and *gasp* moments of doubt? that's probably WHY i'm here :P
i'm a girl raised in... very humble surroundings, and fished out by an academic scholarship into a school for... monetarily endowed kids. it's a beautiful bubble, and i'm not sure how i feel about prolonging such innocence.
i like to eat pie alone but eat cake with friends. i constantly lose the game! i love my pets; my dog odie, my gerbil juju, my fish (too many to name), my venus flytrap freddie hermy, and my brother daniel. i'm as big a harry potter fangirl as they come... i'm a proud CTY forevermore after 8 summers of 3-week-long nerdgasms. i'm a theatre kid ;P i'm the kind of person who can listen to jesse mccartney, luciano pavarotti, queen, ludwig van beethoven, classic disney songs, and lil' jon on the same playlist *grins* i'm a trekkie. i follow the lakers. i'm good with kids because i AM a kid. i hate it when i find out i'm feeling sorry for myself, and promptly force myself to count my blessings. i NEED more BOOKSHELVES, not a DRESSER, mami! my trusty nightstand is a cardboard box, and damned be he who knocks it!
i refuse to open my window for days in order to not destroy the spiderweb and its egg sac. my best friend was a praying mantis for half a year. i play with stuffed animals. i still get a lump in my throat when mufasa dies. i want people to read my work someday and think, "wow. what a remarkable girl." i want my legacy, but not necessarily my name, to live on for centuries. i know i have a long way to go before i reach that level of immortality, and i want to start now. i want you to comment on my things.
i lost the game.

Lickitung (and updating this thing after 7 months)

0 min read

it's been ages since i updated this thing! O_o to anyone who's reading, hello and i still liiiiive! *waving arms* well, this doesn't happen everyday, but i stumbled upon a baby hummingbird sprawled on the concrete. i looked for a nest but i couldn't find one, so i took the bird home for revision (if he had injuries). he was hungry, so i gave him some warm sugar water. he has a looooong slurpy tongue, so i dubbed him lickitung, after the long-tongued pokemon :D (variations include little-tongue and lizard-tongue) how nice it was on the soul to feel those little claws grip your finger for dear life :3 i think the little guy fell from the nest

neffie, queen of egypt

0 min read

first of all, i'm in an extremely good mood thanks to the warm breeze and scattered clouds, which are characteristic of the transition between summer and fall (autumn being my favorite :D). soon there will be leaves, and i can have pocahontas moments! and now, i'm being attacked by doggy tongues *giggles* my dog, odie, has allowed room in his domain for a foster dog! i volunteer at pet adoptions, and now i get to give shelter to a dog which would otherwise be slammed into a overcrowded cage. she is a small chihuahua and i have christened her nefertiti, the most famous queen of egypt, fitting for her beauty (... for a chihuahua), her dainty d

eid mubarak!

0 min read

it's september 11 2010, meaning it has been 9 years since that terrible day when al-qaeda, in a demonstration of unspeakable evil, hijacked 2 planes and crashed them into the world trade center, killing over 3000 americans and themselves. however, today is also the last day of ramadan, the eid ul-fitr, in which muslims feast to celebrate the end of the fast and consider the unfortunate who cannot eat and those who do not have their blessings, and honor them. many would consider this an unlucky coincidence. i think it's more than fitting. the muslims are, in essence, honoring the those who died on sept. 11. let them celebrate. fellow america
