Ella Says #2

Featherless 

Running.
You are running.
Everyone must jerk out of the way.
For the Flyer.
For the Dreamer.
When you leap into the air,
You feel like you've sprouted wings.
You can shape the clouds,
And fly with the geese.
In their organized formation.
Your feathers jump off as you fly.
They don't need you anymore.
They wish to be free,
Free from your frequent flying.
But that's okay.
You don't notice.
The air is rushing loudly in your ears.
And you just don't care.
Nothing matters anymore.
You feel like you can do anything.
Anything you want.
But when you reach the ground,
You feel like you're held back.
All you can do is hope,
And stare at the soft clouds.
You are the Flyer.
You are the Dreamer.

adventure time fancy drawing

Lately Ella's been drawing a bunch of Adventure Time pictures.
I've never seen the show, she watches it when she's at her Dad's house.
She and her friends spend A LOT of time talking and texting about the show.

She's even written Cartoon Network a fan letter.
When she was supposed to be doing her homework.
She has a box of stickers from Japan,
given to her by a loved one that travels to Japan frequently.
(Dad's ex-girlfriend. I love her too.)
Adventure Time is worthy of the hoarded stickers:

japan stickers

Can't quite figure out what OTL with the dude on the floor means...
but it still makes us laugh!

Surprisingly the stickers reference "sweet milk" a lot too.
Weird.  

Hey, may you joy last througe the year....

Lovely poem Ella :)

Angel--Per Urban Dictionary "OTL. Korean emoticon expressing desperation /disappointment. (an image of a man kneeling down with both hands to the ground)"

I love the Urban dictionary. Its kind of funny. My friend and I had a word excepted by them not too long ago :)

Jaime, Jaime, accepted.

Beautiful Ella. Love the images in my head once again. Sad and wistful ending. :*)

Angel said...

Jaime- too funny! Why would they put a disappointed man on kid stickers? Haha! Some of them are crazy.
What was your word?

Jackie- Yeah, sad ending. I thought so too.

Jaime said...

Yes I have grammatical errors every once in a while. Thanks for calling me out Mom :)

Our word sounds pretty gross but it’s so true. Once day we were discussing what toast, captain crunch cereal, etc. can do to your mouth. The word to describe that...Mouth Beef. I know, i know, so gross. Ewwww. hahah :)
