On my way home, I met a man called Bird.

His coat was made of feathers

And he had talons as twisted

As tree roots.

As he touched me

His feathers felt as soft as a cloud.

Yesterday, I met a  boy called Sadness.

He spoke no words

He only moaned like

A wounded animal.

He did not walk, he

Only moped and his eyes

Were like sunken ships.

Today, I met a girl called Thunder.

Her face was as red as fire

And her rage burned like lava

Spreading through a forest as

She walked.

I met a king called Dolphin.

His fingers were as crinkled

as seaweed.

His eyes were as blue as the ocean

And he ran like a shark hunting for its prey.

I met a boy called Mountain.

His arms were as big as

a boulder and his back was as hairy as a grizzly bear.

He spoke to me in a gruff voice.

I met a Star studier.

His eyes were as blue as Neptune

And his heart was as warm as

The sun.

As he touched me, he felt as cold

As Mercury.

I met a man called Dusk.

His eyes were as black as the sky,

he disappeared as soon as

He arrived.

I met a king called Greed.

He devoured the world like a cookie.

He trudged terrifyingly down the road

Looking for the Universe.
