Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

My Journal's Gilded Pages


My writing journal’s pages

Are gilded and bright.

Its pages glitter and shine

In the warm sunlight.


These gilded pages

Are filled with different things

Like poems and stories

Of dragons and kings.


I use my feather pen

To write riveting tales

Of boats that soar in starry skies

Beside large flying whales.


I use my feather pen

To write poems about birds

Who sing of faraway lands

And use strange, amazing words.


I write stories of the past

I write stories of the present

I write stories of the future

Which I find very pleasant.


My writing journal’s pages

Are gilded and bright

Not because of the gold leaf

But because of the words inside, right?
