rainbow girls birthday partyRainbow birthday girl dressed in her striped socks and shoes of pink
She put down her pencils, tossed out her paints and ink.
Concentrated on her party, her presents, her guests and such.
Many gave her rainbow gifts which she loved very much!...

Curly haired Carlotta Commandeers a BusCurly haired Carlotta brought her curls onto our bus
Filling it up from seat to seat, annoying many of us.
Her hair grew an inch every fifteen minutes you see.
We could barely speak to each other for it was not wee.
These curls went down the aisle and into the seats.
Two guys sitting on some of it were...

OVERTHINKINGWhy is the heart so confusing
You’ve been told it’s wrong
You know it’s wrong
But you crave for them more
Not even physically
Just their presence is more than enough
You give until you’re drained
Wondering why you don’t receive as much
You care so much
Why isn’t it the same
You want people to feel loved and cared for
But it...

This NoteI’m hiding this note far from humanity
And yes you are dying to know why I want it out of sight
I’m hiding this note from man
Far from the sun yet close
Too close to be missed
As I am scribbling these words
Inked in sweat and blood
Coming from a place I can’t...

The Environmental Reformation
“The Verdant Oath of Gaia”
(An Epic for Environment Day – June 5)
I. Invocation of the Living Earth
O breath of Earth, in twilight’s greenest vow,
Thou pulse beneath the mountains’ argent brow,
Awake thy voice, O Gaia, long betrayed,
To stir the winds and waters once obeyed.
Let forests speak in tones of moss and flame,
And rivers chant the loss...

I want to pick up the cuddly koalaHe looks cuddly
I want to pick him up and hug him
But I have been warned
Koalas do not like that
At all
Part of me still wants to
The dangerous part
The silly part
The stupid part...

thinking about swimming with dolphinsdolphins have a sense of play that resonates with me
A spirit of joy and excitement
A childlike innocence
They take care of each other
Appear to share private jokes
I picture myself swimming with them
But then I remember I would be terrified
I am scared to death of the ocean
I have seen the movie Jaws, haven’t I?...

Bitsy Bailey Bug and Rodneys Poodle and PugBittersweet bitsy Bailey bug
Rock and rolled in Rodney’s rug
Had he partaked of a daily drug?
Rodney was sick of Bailey’s crazy mug
Time to go home, he told the lug
Just one more chug, said Bailey bug
He was chased off by Rodney's poodle and a pug....

Attitude
Hate not the clouds that roar;
Feel happy, seeing their outpour!
Glare not at the chisels that cut you hard;
Mind, they turn you into the idols of high regard!

the hopper of grassesHe zings through tall grasses and lands on my knee
I try my best to pull this sticky legged insect off me
He chortles and chuckles and pings off in the wind.
This hopper of grasses surely has annoyed and sinned.
Another one of these pests zings onto my shirt.
Giving me the willies, I scream at my cousin Bert
Get...

Baby SaulSaul was a dynamic showman after all
Predestined, for he had been born inside a caul
At birth, he looked like a porcelain doll
An October baby, that gorgeous fall
His mama delivered him inside the mall
His father said, this babe can sure bawl!
They wrapped him up in grandma’s shawl
Eleven pounds, so not very small
They named him after his...

sloth tries on running shoesThe sloth tried on all the running shoes in the store.
Brand new clerk on commission’s heart gave a soar.
She did not realize that sloth does this every day.
But never buys a shoe, for running is not his way.
He does it because he loved the colors, said her boss.
If my supervisor would let me, I would...
