Riddle

I am bumpy and slimy

small and fragile

you could crush the life out of me

girls squeal when they see me

boys play with us from dusk until don

i can spring high like a pogo stick

and i sing all night long

what am I?



Answer!

Two Tone Poem


I am mint green light and fresh
Lazy like the palms of a somber tree
The mist masking its surroundings
Now showing all there is to be seen
Sweet sweet sorrows of an old old soul

I am light butter yellow full of bright energetic light begging
To be set free
Swirling, swishing m swaying emotions
Always changing
A child lost in translation not willing
To fall for all the manipulation
The snapping and cracking of emotions alive.
