Ode to Eeyore
Always blue and sad
Monotone and apathetic
Sarcastically
Almost sadistically
Humorous
Building houses
That always fall down
Enduring the torture of his detachable tail
Stitching coming loose at the seams
An unhappy smile
Playing on swings in the middle of the night
Howling with glee
Until he falls off
Yet soft to the touch
Comforting in times of need
In times of sorrow
In times of fear
In times of pain
And even in times of happiness
He smells like something wild
An intoxicatingly good smell
Sad eyes looking over my shoulder
Warming my back
Tripping people
And secretly laughing with me
He’s always there
When I get into trouble
And stays by my side when I get caught
Always hungering for strawberries
Sour yet sweet
But something about him
Feels…
Happy
Monotone and apathetic
Sarcastically
Almost sadistically
Humorous
Building houses
That always fall down
Enduring the torture of his detachable tail
Stitching coming loose at the seams
An unhappy smile
Playing on swings in the middle of the night
Howling with glee
Until he falls off
Yet soft to the touch
Comforting in times of need
In times of sorrow
In times of fear
In times of pain
And even in times of happiness
He smells like something wild
An intoxicatingly good smell
Sad eyes looking over my shoulder
Warming my back
Tripping people
And secretly laughing with me
He’s always there
When I get into trouble
And stays by my side when I get caught
Always hungering for strawberries
Sour yet sweet
But something about him
Feels…
Happy
