long list of poetry

today i wrote a ton of poems, on the bus, and during lunch. I don't think they're very good but everyone says I should post them, so here they are:
Authors

Authors have a gift you know.
they make ink all the colors of the rainbow.
and they paint a world in which it snows.
and they create the seeds to sow.
all of that just to show, to us.
by Zachary Schroeder


Books

Books. there is a world behind their pages,
longing to come out and tell us their story.
longing to come out and show us their brightly colored countryside,
made of nothing but words,
and the life force of the author, that they pored out onto the page, in those long hours that they spent writing.
books.
just open one up and you will see.

A humorous poem of death

Death.
maybe you just disappear.

or maybe you come back on the northern hemisphere.
or maybe you go to heaven or hell.
or maybe death is like a bell.
tinkling and tinkling in the night.
why oh why can't it be be bright.
by Zachary Schroeder

The bus

The crowded bus forced together.
sweaty and hot, the smell of leather.
the chatter of school kids from the back.
privacy I do lack.
a fly buzzing on the glass.
girls together in a mass.
