The Waddle Surprise

AUTHORS NOTE: 

            So I wrote this in 2014 and it was about this stuffed animal penguin that I was obsessed with at the time. I still cringe when I read this but it is so cute and kind of funny. I never finished it but it's good while it lasts. Enjoy! (P.S. Ignore the grammar errors sorry)



THE WADDLE SURPRISE


Chapter 1


“ Wheres waddles mother?” i yelled into the kitchen.


“I haven't seen him since you left for school.” she replied.


“come eat your dinner please!”  she yelled back. I run down the stairs and jump into my seat. “Is father joining us for dinner mother?” I asked. father mostly didn't come eat with us because he was really busy with work. He was a toy maker. I know what you're thinking!” You have the best dad ever!” Yes I know it is cool that he is a toy maker, but it seems like he ignores me most of the time. He would play with me all the time when i was little, i don't know what happened to all those years. “no you know he is very busy this time of year.” she said with sad eyes. Sometimes father would go out of town to work with the new toys blueprint. He would be gone for weeks and weeks. After dinner, I washed the dishes with mother then raced upstairs and sat in my toy chairs and finished my tea appointment. “sorry for the inconvenience elizabeth i had a meeting downstairs.” I apologized. I sipped tea and snacked on fake cookies. “I have to go find waddles elizabeth.” I said as I pushed back my chair and stood up politely. I checked under my bed, in my closet, and under the stairs. But no waddles. I sat down on the stairs and sighed. “Im sure you'll find him somewhere honey don't worry”. Mother said as she rounded the corner and sat next to me. “now go take a shower and get ready for bed. you have school tomorrow!” she said. I walk up the stairs slowly and got in the shower. i didn't feel like singing or running or dancing. I just wanted my waddles.


Chapter 2




“beep beep beep beep!” My alarm clock rings 7:20 am. I lazily pressed the snooze button, pulled back the covers, and got up to start getting ready. All i could think about was not finding waddles. Waddles was the first toy i owned when i was a little girl. He was my best friend , best guest, and best comforter. When i lost him yesterday it was heartbreaking. i wanted to scream and cry, but big girls dont cry. I slowly walked downstairs to eat breakfast with my mom and see father  for a short minute before he went into his office. “ well look who's up!” father shouted when i came into the kitchen. “now why is my sunshine so gray?” he said sadly. “i couldn't find waddles last night and i don't know where he is”. i say almost bursting into tears. “ aww thats a bummer! tell you what ill help you look for him after school ok sweetie?” he asked. “ ok” i said. I didn't believe him though. Everytime he promises me something he always forget. “come on Kat time to get to school!” mother told me. i race upstairs and get ready and meet mother in the car. When we get into the school, i put my backpack and lunch in my cubbie and sit in my desk. Mrs. Chelsie gives me my homework and the class lession. My school is really small. So small there is only four kids in my class, then again, we live in the country. I bounce slightly on my ball and start writing. Yes we have excercise balls as chairs because Mrs. Chelsie says it helps us think better. When mother picked me up from school she took me to get a snack at the Angle Walk.

Time (long & short)

 AUTHORS NOTE:          Written in 2019. This was a school assignment where we had to write the same poem in a long formant and a short format. They are both displayed here but it's about the same thing so feel free to read one or the other if you want LONG Sometimes we think time Stops when it doesn’t,  But time still moves Forward because of the world Still spins around with Us, like one minute The world is a beautiful Place made of wonder,  And the next it Is all crumbling down  Before your eyes, Something that was yours Now is taken from Your hands, without a Blink of an eye,  And the known becomes  The unknown, Since you  gave hope, Now there  is no hope, Only sadness  and loneliness Because your  thoughts were Impure but  that won’t Stop the  pain from Flooding down  your bloodstream, As your  brain begins To alter  itself dark, And all  that is left Is the  The illusion o...

Oblivious

 AUTHORS NOTE:         Written in 2019. I had been going through a tough time after splitting from a friend who was actually not a friend. I didn't realize it for a long time and I was hurt deeply when I found out what was really happening. I know that I am better off now. I wrote this in a strongly focused mood so it is not in traditional poem format and I can't bear to change it.  Oblivious In the beginning, it was the best. We were creative and hopeful. We would talk about our hopes and dreams. The ways that we would trust each other and promise to never lose it. Lightness and fun would fill my heart, making me never want to lose it. We would criticize who we wanted to be, by criticizing others. We would poke and stab at the actions we didn’t like. No one should do this or that, in the public’s eyes. Somethings we knew we would avoid. In the beginning, it was light and fluffy and harmless. There was no pain, pressure, or sadness. In the next, it was...

The Lucky Koala

 AUTHORS NOTE:          Written in 2019. I had to write a poem for school that was about a current issue. This one is about the Australian fires that happened that school year and how an animal would feel in that situation. The Lucky Koala I crawl towards my breakfast and bask in the sun The leaves felt soft on my teeth as I bit into them Warmth baked into my grey fur I watched the clouds where I sit The wind ruffled the tree and my ears September was always peaceful I finished my food and heard an odd sound I turned around on the tree branch The sky was filled with blood and darkness Startled, I perked up from my snug posture Along the horizon, there were flicks of light The air around me grew thick My lungs were getting heavy Something was wrong on this day Something was different this time of year The heats were hotter  The land was dryer  I tried to ignore the ignorant destroyer While it took out humans and their homes I tried not to think abo...
