PIC RANDOMLY RELATED
So, it's my mother's birthday on Friday and I can not decide whether or not it's a good idea to write her a poem as a present. I mean, I know it could be seen as a sweet gesture and all but I'm actually a practical kind of person (oh lol the irony) and I know that if it were me I'd rather have a present that I can use.
... but I'm kind of out of money, I don't know what novels my mother follows (except for SOIaF which we have and Eragon which I refuse to buy for her), and I bought her teddy bears for the past few birthdays/Mother's Days.
I asked plurk (f-locked BTW) whether or not I should go for it and got a unanimous yes, but I don't think you guys know how horrible I am at poetry. This is what I think to be my best so far:

Hazy purple wind invading. A book bricked through a glass window. A child wipes drool from his cheek, waiting for today’s dessert. Never dinner. There is violence over a wrong math equation. Life teaches the tutor. Holes poked through cloth; a child still waiting for dessert. The scent of syrup and cream waft in the air. A yell tasted down the throat and sticks like phlegm. Berries crushed under a spoon. Did you do a good job is answered by Yes. Yes Yes. Lies always start out lavender. Poured too early on a plate, gelatin liquefies with the syrup. A fork through a strawberry, there is victory for the saccharine virus. The strawberry shimmers as the syrup’s still too hot. The boy salivates as the sugar coaxes. Down in a single bite. Tears come out when spit hides behind pride. A book bricked through a glass window because experience was the chosen teacher. Strawberries are vengefully sour. Awaited present turns punishment. A tongue too burnt to apologize tomorrow, a scalded dark purple.
