Waves

by Brittany Blankenship

I envy your sunshine smile and surfer curls.

You are breezy freedom rolling -

A tangy mango wave.

My smile cracks between my cloud of curls.

I roll from bed and crash throughout the day,

A torrid swirling storm.

You're jelous of my marching soldier grades.

I wish they'd dance and play like yours,

A spicy, reckless tango

But I'll keep crashing, marching, trudging, though

I wonder when I'll trade my A's

For tangy mango waves.
