My Halloween Costume

Hello, I'm Mad Maggie, the crazy evil nurse.

I'm sure of all your nightmares, you'd vote me the worst.

I never finished Med school, my diploma's honorary.

Not for my lack of genius; they simply found me scary.

Perhaps it is my witchy hair, or my special Hypno-Glasses.

Maybe they don't like my pet, a spider named Arachnyss.

Arachnyss sits atop my shoulder, whispering jokes in my ear.

So if I throw my head back with mirth...

Mwah-ha-ha-hah! Mwah-haha-ha-ha-haaaah!!!

... you have nothing to fear. ^_~

I take my science equipment everwhere I go.

Vials of colorful liquids cast a spooky glow.

"But what are the mysterious stains on your coat?" you ask.

I smile, pulling from my pocket a green and slimy flask.

"It's the blood of my unfortunate lab assistant, Cody.

My concoction wasn't ready, so he got a bit explodey.

But now my potion's safe to drink. Would you like a taste?"

Your eyes go wide, you turn your heel and run with lots of haste.

My shoulders droop a little bit. I didn't mean to frighten.

Luckily Arachnyss has some words to make me brighten.

"Don't you worry, Maggie. I don't think you're mad.

When people get to know you, they'll see you're not that bad."

"You're right, Arachnyss," I reply, drinking my potion green.

"I'm sure we'll still get to have a Happy Halloween." ^_^

Perfect Candle Flame

We have known each other for such a long time.

How can I express it in a few simple rhymes?

Though we're torn apart by distance and circumstance,

We are close as can be, and that gives us a chance.

You tell me your secrets, and I tell you mine.

Talking to you... why, it's just like sunshine.

You're the person I count on. You make me feel complete.

Oh, how I wish that our worlds will someday meet.

Yes, we are friends, and we always will be.

But I wish we were more... Sometimes I can see

Us holding hands on a dock at sunset.

We're counting the stars, even ones not there yet.

We laugh together and the feeling's so right.

Just us sharing the moment on a dark, moonlit night.

Nothing else can compare. It's a feeling I can't name.

It's like warmth from the glow of a perfect candle flame.

We don't hang by a thread, we've got the strongest rope.

It's made of love and friendship, and most of all hope.

We've never clapped eyes on each other, but still,

I know that I love you, and I'm sure I always will.

♥Birthday Poem for Mom♥

For my wonderful mother,

who's unlike any other,

on the day you came to be.

I give you 3 cheers

for all of the years

that you have lived to see.

Bring on the presents and the fun,

because today, you're number one!

"Happy birthday!" we all chant.

Anything you wish, we'll grant.

Thank you, mom, for all that you do.

From your daughter (who really loves you. ^_~)

Happy 19th Birthday, Annette!

I have a sister named Annette

She's skinny and tall, a natural brunette,

And the coolest girl I've ever met, I bet

(Well, don't forget,

I'm biased. She's my twin after all.)

Get set, Annette,

We're about to have a ball.

You know why, of course. It's our birthday, y'all!

With our 19th year all over and done,

I wonder, "What will we do in the next one?"

Well, no matter what happens, let's be sure to have fun.

^_~

Together forever,

Our friendship I'll treasure.

Know that I'll never, ever

Forget or regret

The times we have shared

We're the perfect duet

You've always been there.

Thank you, Annette.

You know how much I care.

Love, your sister,

Bettina

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS ~ An Acrostic

Best ever place

On earth to be.

So much fun

To walk all

Over the city.

Nearly everything is

Made for walking distance.

A wonderful amount of

Special places to go,

Sights to see,

And people to meet.

Close ties I

Have with this place.

Understand, it is where I was born.

So much history

Etched into every brick of

The roads and buildings.

Take a walk around. You'll

See what I mean.

We've Arrived!

We've Arrived!

We've Arrived!

At last we have arrived!

Pats on the back

And happy high-fives!

^_^

We sure

Endured

A lot in our little car,

Driving all day

And way

Into the dark.

O,0

But cheer!

We're here!

Now at last,

First we'll unpack,

then maybe...

Crash.

On a Road-trip

I'm in a car, going fast!

Outside the scenery rushes past.

On a road-trip, going far.

Highway signs and other cars.

With windows down, the breeze is strong.

The stereo plays a funky song.

Bopping my head to the beat,

I wonder when we'll stop to eat.

I'd like to take a break and stretch,

But I won't complain, and I won't *kvetch.

I love road-trips, in fact I'll bet

You won't hear me say "Are we there yet?"

So sitting in the backseat, notebook in lap

I'll close my eyes and take a nap.

-_-

*Kvetch is a Yiddish word that means complain or make a fuss.

Also, the picture is almost exactly what our car actually looks like. ^_^

Knowing you

Knowing you has been a pleasure

Your friendship I will always treasure

Knowing you has given me lots

of cool ideas and great new thoughts

Knowing you has been a ride

I'm glad to have you by my side

Knowing you, I've changed so much

The sky feels close enough to touch

Knowing you has turned my world

Upside-down and flipped and twirled

Knowing you, I've read many a book

I probably wouldn't have given a look

Knowing you, my days are brighter

And I've become a better writer (I hope!)

Knowing you, I feel so free

My words come out like poetry

Knowing you are my best friend

Is something I hope never ends

Knowing you is like sunshine

You're unique, silly, one-of-a-kind

Knowing you, I'd like to say,

"I wouldn't have it any other way"

(I don't need to say it, but even so

Some things are simply good to know. ^_~)

Knowing you, you're smiling now

And so for you, I'll take a bow

^_^

In & Out

Sometimes I wish I could be very small.

A fly on the wall,

Not seen at all.

Invisible, I'd watch time go by.

Peaceful nothings, dreams and sighs.

Sometimes I wish I were big as can be!

For everyone to see

The spotlight on me!

I'd rule the world, have tons of friends!

Adventure, excitement, the fun never ends!

These 2 opposite parts of me

Make up my personality.

Sometimes I look in,

Sometimes I look out...

Maybe that's what life is all about

???
