Mini’s Blog – Not Feeling Great

I wanted to post another post this week because I am trying super hard to get into the habit of posting SOMETHING twice a week whether it be a blog, game review, or book review. I feel bleh today. My body is fighting something off and of course it had to be on a weekend that I have stuff planned. So in an effort to post something I will share my pumpkin that I did for the Literary Pumpkin Contest at our Library, and I will share a poem I wrote. So nothing crazy. Hope you like them. Let me know what you think of them!

For the Literary Pumpkin Contest this year I did Grumpy Monkey in honor of Jesse and Gideon. I try to do this contest every year. I have won a few times, against some stiff competition. Mostly my mom and one of my friends. There are other adult competitors, but only one of them has actually beaten me and my mom. We bring the competition. We ARE the competition. We are the champions, my friends. Anyhoo. It’s one of the events I look forward to every year, and it’s when I put all my creative effort into a project that actually turns out looking like an adult did it and not a 5 year old. Behold. GRUMPY MONKEY!! And the person who looks like Grumpy Monkey!!

Rainbow Drip by Margaret Chavez

Black rocks with rainbow outlines
Drip down the waterfall mountain
Shape shifting to robotic pleasures
Biotech advances to electronic rainbow plasma
Blasting (yes, a euphemism)
Neon highlights
Chimera
Intergalactic platform shoes

Tripping on a clone
Like Post Malone
Aw, hell naw!
It's all about Water Malone!

Going from 80's to 90's 
Like blasters and Atari
To Lisa Frank and beanie babies
I miss those days as I drift away
On the rainbow drips, against that black

The End

Now I can’t explain this poem too much. I wrote it in California over the summer last year, and I was listening to a TON of 80’s music (that really hasn’t changed much). So I let my imagination go wild with the idea of bright neon colors against the black backgrounds. The art of the 80’s. I don’t know. Y’all may find it weird, but I dig it. See y’all next week with another blog and a game review!
