The air breathes frost. A thin wind beats
Old dust and papers down gray streets
And blows brown leaves with curled-up edges
At frightened sparrows on window ledges.
What is the mood?
by Richard Garcia
I have seen machines eating houses
And stairways walk all by themselves
And elevator doors opening and closing And people disappear.
What is the mood?
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
What is the mood?
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
What is the mood?
Don’t show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I'm afraid at all
It’s only in my dreams.
What is the mood?
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

Answer
Fable
I come with no wrapping or pretty pink bows.
I am who I am, from my head to my toes.
I tend to get loud when speaking my mind.
Even a little crazy some of the time.
I'm not a size 5 and don't care to be.
You can be you and I can be me.
I try to stay strong when pain knocks me down.
And the times that I cry are when no one's around.
To error is human or so that's what they say.
Well, tell me who's perfect anyway.
