Rosepetals rain from the ceiling
Pictureframes flip inside out
Tables and chairs begin feeling
Daydreams rush out of the spout
Butterflies crafted from money
Treebranches draped in despair
The clouds insist it is sunny
Nurseryrhymes float through the air
Mapleleafs fade into color
Shootingstars litter the ground
Although triumphs grow nothing but taller
Somehow we all still fall down

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
