When I was a Crusher

When I was a Crusher

By Michelle Stiles


When I was thirteen I had a crush on this boy.
When he looked at me it gave me joy.
His eyes were green and his complexion was tan.
I could tell he would be handsome as a man.
My friend had told me he liked me before I knew his name.
I thought he was somebody else that was lame.
When I found out who he was I said, “Oh so that’s who he is?!”
I had said that in front of him and I knew my chance was missed.
For I had told my friend that I didn’t like him, thinking it was the other guy.
I regret saying that in front of him and for being shy
Because I never told him how I felt.
Even when I se him now I melt.
But he’s had a girlfriend for a couple of years.
Seeing how I missed my chance gives me tears.
Who knows though, there might be hope.
But thinking about it now makes me mope.

Salt


Salt

by Michelle Stiles

I am salt.
You know me for making food taste better.
My best friend is my old buddy pepper.
We are always together.
I wish to taste good forever and ever.
My mother is sodium.
My father is food.
I live in a shaker and I love to shake because it gets me out of my room.
My enemy is sugar because we always get mixed up.
I fear people stepping on me when roads are icy and rough.
I may just be an ingredient but hey, that’s not my fault.
I shouldn’t be complaining but hey, I’m only salt.
