A Collection of Poems

by Persephone

The Ocean

There is the ocean.
It is nothing but a giant void in the earth.
The ocean is capable of swallowing people, boats and animals whole.
It is a seemingly never ending wast of blue.
Sometimes it is so peaceful, yet at other times it rages.

Ashes

What are ashes?
But remains of dead animals, humans even.
The end to all life that exists, well most.
You live, you die, you burn and then you are ashes.
Ashes, ashes, all that exists turns to ashes.

Fish

Fish are sometimes round.
They swim using these fin-like projections, I'm not exactly sure what
they are called.
Fish eat fish food--that's what they eat.
Fish are usually peaceful, you never hear about fish riots, now do you,
well Do You?
I thought not.
Fish can be cute but also quite ugly, it depends on the fish.
Some fish live in water, well actually all fish live in water, except the
ones with arms--they don't.
Fish can be tasty when battered and served with ketchup, but only the
elitest fish. Only the ones who are good enough to be the chosen ones.
That's all about fish.

Wombat

A wombat is an animal,
that swims like a wombat,
has the eyes of a wombat,
looks like a wombat,
and digests likes a wombat.
That is what a wombat it.

Hard-boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs can be very tasty,
sometimes, depending on how hard-boiled they are.
These eggs absolutely refuse to break when dropped--no matter how hard
you try.
You can make egg salad from hard-boiled eggs though it isn't one of their
highlights.
What else can I say about hard-boiled eggs?
Nothing... what a surprise.
