Balancing equations creates an inbalance in my life

Here's a chemical poem...enjoy ;)

The sunny day takes on a gloom
Flowers lose their bloom
In the chemistry lab there is a boom

When swirls of H₂S our nostrils flay
Out of the lab we try to walk
But we sway

When acids and bases
Neutralise to form water and salt
Most of our experiments come to a halt

Passport to Sam's heart

The channel, Travel and Living (now, TLC.) used to be one of my favorites. Samantha Brown, peppy, funny and full of life, took me almost all over the world. This poem, written when I was 10, is dedicated to her.

Oh Samantha, you stole our hearts

With passports to different places

You travelled to China, Latin America

And travelled straight into our  hearts

You hosted great hotels,

Went on a cruise

Had fun in Disney Land,didn’t you?

Oh Samantha you made us laugh

With all your funny comments

Oh Samantha, we wish we could

Find a passport to your heart

Oh wouldn’t it be great,

If we could say

We have the passport to Samantha’s heart!

Does this make sense to you?

What follows is a nonsense poem. Inspired by one friend who wanted me to write a love poem and another who thought I could add elements of the subjects we studied, this was the outcome.

O darling,

How much I miss thee

Without you I’m a butterfly without a flower

A song with no lyrics

A river with no water

Cola with no caffeine

A ZMR Karizma without fuel injection

Blood without plasma

Pressure without force

Mole without molecule

Network connection with no device

Algebra without variables

World War 2 without Hitler

Past tense with no past participle

False Promises

You said you’ll be here

Before the month ended

Very close to me, near 

And my broken heart mended

But you broke it again

With all your lies

Tell me, what did you gain

As all my hope dies

You smile even as I weep

For your love is all I asked

The wound, it goes deep

I should have kept my feelings masked
