Poetry On Odyssey: An Ode To My Car Chapstick

The summer took you from me, and you will be dearly missed.

Poetry On Odyssey: An Ode To My Car Chapstick

To my dear car chapstick

All melted to goo.

The summer took you too soon

I will forever miss you.


My lips feel so dry and rough

Now, that you are gone.

I tried to save you, I swear,

With my maximum AC on.


But you had already turned to mush

Within my car's cup holder.

I wish we could have grown together

As we both got older and older.


But we didn't get that chance

To reach your tube's end.

But then again I never have been able to do that.

Cause it is just too damn hard, my friend.


I have lost too many chapsticks.

Your loss being the most gruesome.

But at least this time it isn't my fault

As it is when I just lose em'.


But the moral of the story is

That you were trapped in my car's confines.

And I'm sorry I could not rescue you

From the harsh summer sunshine.


And I do not want to replace you.

Because your memory still haunts me.

Not to mention, it would melt too.

Summer is meant to be car-chapstick-free :(

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
