A Poem by mikayla baldwin
"

entering teenage territory...

"
white with black spots or

black with white spots?

the zebra conundrum of the walls has always

been a contortionist

to the mind

since the beginning of time

enter my palace and let the aroma of 

perfume-drenched smoke and nineties hip hop

caress you 

a plethora of paint splatters 

crumpled love letters 

failed exams

creep 

under the bed

waiting

to grab your feet

as you dance in front of the mirror 

one

lonely house plant sits

in the corner

leeching from the bit of light 

trickling through my blinds

i hope you can swim

through desolate text books and

dainty panties

when the sun

blesses the west

the moon makes peace 

with the east 

lanterns illuminate the ceiling

let your eyes connect them 

until the big dipper

replenishes you with the nectar

of your sweetest dreams 

the dream catcher hangs near

fighting every evil spirit

that could possibly ruin

your time

in this utopia

Wow. This is great! The use of wordplay had me into this to the very end. Actually, the use of wordplay in this is very similar to my own use of it. :) I really enjoyed this. Great work!
