هرتي البيضاء
هرتي البيضاء
تركضُ في الحقول ِ الخضراء
تأكل عشرَ حباتٍ في النهار
و تلعبُ بجانبِ النار
هرّتي ، هرّتي أنتِ سعادتي وفرحي
أحبّك ِ وأرعاكِ
كلّ أيام حياتي !
بقلم الشاّعرة جني شكردجيان

LF -- The Warm Hand & the Cold Water

Warm reassuring hands
Grasped my shoulders
I do not understand
What do they want to do?
A gentle pat on my back
Is coming from its palm
Now I know what they want to do
They want me to be calm
With the hands is where
I want to stay
But near the clear blue water
I want to be away
I didn't want to seem afraid
Because I was not
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath
A surprise was what I got
I floated at the surface;
The water was extraordinarily clear
Although the salt had scorched my eyes
The water was pure and mere

2+2=4
Mesopotamians invented the wheel
Are all the facts
We learn at school
100% real?
What if 2+2 were vector numbers?
Then answer could be anything
What if what the archeologists found
Was just an oversized ring?
If you think of things this way
You’ll agree with me here:
All the facts we learn at school
Should be 100% clear

For helping and caring
For listening too
For tolerating and sharing
100 times
I’ll thank you
For patience and friendship
For empathy as well
For honesty and respectfulness
100 times
I’ll say that you’re swell
For not teasing or cheating
Or telling a lie
To be like you
100 times
I’ll try

LF -- My Brother Drank Tabasco Sauce

My brother drank Tabasco sauce
He did it; I don’t know why
He sat staring at it on the table
Then I heard him scream and cry
My brother drank Tabasco sauce
The stuff I wouldn’t like to taste
After the incident
He cooled his mouth with toothpaste
My brother drank Tabasco sauce
Maybe he was dared
As soon as he finished drinking
His ears steamed and his eyes flared
My brother drank Tabasco sauce
His eyes were as red as fire
He dunked his head in a tub filled with ice
As his temperature rose higher
My brother drank Tabasco sauce
The whole bottle down his throat
The moment the last drop fell in
He bleated like a goat
My brother drank Tabasco sauce
The reason remains a mystery
This event was remembered for a couple of years But now his silliness is history
Note: My brother did not actually do this

SD -- My Bum

I fell on my bum
And then I went nuts
The bruise was so big
The bruise was so wide
It hurt so much
That it felt like a spike
I went to the doctor and I tried everything
But all he said was “we can’t do anything.”
When I went to school
All I heard were laughs
They were talking about my big puffy pants
I went to the pharmacy and bought a medicine
Which was called: “I can heal anything”
I drank a pill and waited a little
And when I looked at my bum
It was all wrinkled
That’s when I thought there was no way out
Until I stapled my bum
And all the air went out.

Why
Why do I think?
Why do I study?
Why do I see?
Why do I love?
Coming from my heart
Coming from my brain
Why do I have such organs?
Oh God please tell me why?
Why can’t I fly?
Why can’t I shoot my self?
And not die
Why can’t I clime a building?
Without any gear
Why!!!!Why can’t I=http://=http://

Gorgeous Nature
On the leaf lands the bee
Looking around at the tree
Looking here looking there
There are trees everywhere
The sun rising up
Lighting all the sky
Trees will grow up
Forming a gorgeous land
Birds in the sky
Flocking and not shy
Bees flying everywhere
Carrying the pollen cheerful there
Butterflies fly in the air going
To their mothers for care
Life is joyful when you are there
If you’re not it’s like a nightmare
People go there to be healed
Forget depression and their fear
You can go there to have fun
Watch the stars and the sun.
