  • Belly Smacking Forever

    I smack my bellyIt’s hugeIf I fall into the oceanIt will make a great deluge I smack my bellyLight and heavyIt brokeThe levy I smack my bellyIt’s very plumpIt isn’tA chump I smack my bellyIt creates a shockwaveBy smacking it vigorouslyIt will cause a 100 foot wave I smack my bellyDuring the day and nightSmacking…

  • The Ocean Blue

    I will sailThe ocean blueIt’s somethingI must do I cast offMy sturdy boatUpon the waterIt does float I hoistThe main sailI’ll soon haveA nautical tale A seagullLands on the mastThe oceanIs vast I breath inThe salty sea airI feel contentWithout a care I sailBack homeFor now the seasI will not roam by Zachary Uram(C) 2024

  • Melancholy

  • Summertime Memories As A Child

    Flavored ice conesFoot-long strawberry licoriceOrange push-up pops Drinking from the water hoseWalking barefoot in the grassCollecting cicada shells Running around the neighborhoodPlaying whiffle ballSplashing our feet in the rain puddles Smelling rose bushesCollecting lightning bugs in a jarBlowing dandelions Swimming at the poolGetting ice cream conesDinner at Pizza Hut by Zachary Uram(C) 2024
