tiger in my closeta tiger crept into my closet today
it happened at three pm. while I was away
she was silent but hungry, wanting some meat
messed up my closet, put two shoes on her feet
I woke up at a quarter past two
saw her stealing my tennis shoes blue
shut my eyes tight and pretended to sleep
did not make a sound,...

We cannot sell this tandem bikethe garage sale sellers could not get rid of the bike
It takes a certain person, two actually, said Mike
It was a tandem bike, they could not sell that day
Until a giraffe family came by and happily rode it away....

Come Back Colorful Butterfly Faeriecolorful butterfly faerie flew into the garden today
The marigolds, lilies and lilacs all leaned her way
Wanting a favor, a glimpse, a look at her gown
She had a terrific personality, and no kind of frown
She is such a beauty! The elves and dwarfs did agree.
Tomato worm never saw her; he was watching TV
The radishes and carrots...

cakes fort he snakesRed, the hot hedgehog baked strawberry short cakes
They were delicious, magnificent, she fed them to her snakes
Better than her chocolate sundaes, or her blueberry shakes.
Best recipe she has, said those satisfied snakes....

cranky beecranky bee was born on the underside of the hive
he has been cranky since minutes old, maybe five
this was from his mother, but his daddy agreed
He has always been angry, always seems peeved.
you could not have a regular conversation with him
He was always angry with Tom, Dick, Johnny and Jim
Always looking for the bad side,...

The BreezePlease gentle, calm and sweet Breeze.
That stems from off the sea,
Breezemy spirit gently and calmly,
And bring to me softly
Thoughts and dreams of kinder times past
When I was young and had a gentler soul..
Visible only through the dance and skip of the weary leaves and trees.
She is the big beautiful Breeze. Miss Breeze.

The unseen gazeThe hidden Beauty no one sees,
It speaks when the world is lost in sleep,
Yet the moon caught a gaze- someone admiring it,
While others still lived in their virtual slit.
They peeped blue ray-she felt the glowing mist,
They missed the grace the silence kissed....

Burn the witchThey say I'm a witch, but when I told them I have a spell to make them write poetry, they shout "Free the witch!"
But when I say I'm a writer, they want to hurt me. As soon as I mention my spell to make words touch hearts, they say "Free the writer!"
To me, it doesn't...

you will feel much better My cough was empty, my lungs struggling
There was no mucus, I was worn out from the hacking
My mother put Vicks vapor rub all over me
The soles of my feet, my back, my neck, my chest
It was two a.m. we were desperate for sleep.
She fixed me vanilla chamomile tea
Stirred in honey
Drink this, she told me. You...

Romancing Pain"Abraham, you hurt me deeply, failed me, betrayed me, and made my heart weep.
I thought I could trust, but you proved me wrong,
Took me for granted, didn't care strong.
But still, I forgive, not for you, but me,
To heal my heart, set my soul free.
I won't hold onto pain, won't retaliate,
I'll rise above, don't need your...

Remembering the frantic little boy with strawberry blond hair who didn't say booRemembering the frantic little boy with strawberry blond hair who didn't say boo
Nonverbal (though he could talk)
most of his responses
happened to be witnessed
as his characteristic
and courtesy enigmatic
trademark shoulder shrug.
If born free and clear today
skilled professional diagnosticians
employed within the mental health field,
would probably unanimously agree
he met criteria
as high functioning autistic spectrum
predicated upon withdrawn
and introverted behavior classic...
