Brown EyesReminiscent of a doe
with a hue as rich as earth,
your gaze takes me home
to a cedar-filled hearth.
Welcoming like hot chocolate
and as vibrant as autumn's leaves,
your stare carries the life
that Mother Nature herself weaves.
Neutral, yet expressive—
as versatile as leather, but still so alive—
your eyes are the gemstones
favored by the sun and I alike....

Reset ThinkingToo many days I've spent working out in the gym
Trying to get toned, trying to be slim.
Diet fad failures are too many to mention
I've always began with good intention.
Your told, not to eat this but do eat that
Limit the portions, cut off the meat fat.
Not too many potatoes and eat plenty of veg
Some protein is...

Night Out at the Carnival
Neon lights twinkle against the velvet, dark skies,
Ferris wheel spins like a huge ring of fireflies;
Shadows sway in the pavement, tents, booths, and crowds,
As bright bulbs bring glare to cotton candy clouds .
Iron tunes from colorful carousel
Equalize clanking ride near the dinging bell;
Laughter listens to chatter screams in delight,
As hush whispers before the ride...

Finger PrintHe was deeply worried,
A problem lay within,
Buried in the depths of his heart,
Countless slaves in his possession.
He wanted to control
All of them, he needed
A unique identity for each.
Suddenly, he struck upon
The idea of a fingerprint.

Dragon TongueDragon tongue
Ill be your dragon
I see your smile
Through your alien face
I didn't mean to abandon you
In time when the army needs us most
Without the mass graves
How can we take this land
Just leave em for dead
But don't kill them
That beautiful spot
On the hill with the flowers in bloom
Now could be someone's tomb
Forfeit the blue...

CHARLIECHARLIE © 2025 Sara Etgen-Baker
just for fun...
There once was a bar named Charlie,
whose sweetness was truly quite gnarly.
With a crunch and a snap,
in a candy-filled wrap,
he danced in his package so snarly.
But Charlie, you see, had a flaw.
He'd melt in the sun—oh, the awe!

And The Cat Crept In
Motion-activated caught on camera
while cookies for the kids I was cooking
a collared cat crept into the kitchen
when I stepped outside and wasn't looking
his potty break was well-timed
as, sadly, I'd left the door unlocked
onto the counter by the sink he climbed
bared his butt and crapped in the crock
tho' he gave new meaning
to vanilla chocolate chip
if I...

The Chirp with in the ChaosOn my plate, I get to taste new things,
Every day—flavors that life brings.
Sometimes it's healthy, sometimes a mess,
At times I bloom, at times—distress.
I feel ruptured, torn apart,
When it’s finally my turn to start.
Oh! The fight between my heart and mind,
Oh! The silence and the violence entwined.
For ease, we chase some clever trick,
Like knowing "ominous" means...

The Chocolate CakeThe first chocolate cake you remember-
The one I brought for you...
I baked it with so much love,
Glazed it with dark chocolate,
As dense as my affection for you.
Next morning with a tensed move,
I went up to your place,
Pacing to and fro...
You said with your eyes:
"Keep it on the table."
And then you said you enjoyed it-
Even shared...

MY BRAIN DOGI have a brain.
But not just any brain — I have a brain dog.
It doesn’t sit. It doesn’t stay.
It runs. Fast. Far. Wild.
It sniffs every thought ever thought.
Dreams in 4D. Overthinks lunch plans like it's nuclear policy.
Sometimes... it chases shadows.
Dark ones. Horror-movie-type thoughts.
So I lock it up.!
“Time-out,” I say. “No more mind mazes today.”
And there...

Forever YoursSplashing chocolate kisses on your face
Making love wishes near make out lake
The sky is blue my passion is red
Maroon heart true by it we’re lead
Like a balloon silver spirits float
Thanks to you I have yellow hope
In love like birds we chirp and fly
Mating call heard seen in green eyes
Each day is new emerald exciting
Being with...
