Premium Member I am like a storm that never wins, a rain that finds no shelter
I am like a storm that never wins, a rain that finds no shelter, I offer a few drops and sigh, they call it drama and look away, If it rains too much, they flee as if my truth would drown their worth, I remain dry and they complain, why am I cold, why am I silent, As if...

Noah, The Shelter Dog
At the animal shelter, I looked at them all The dogs were aplenty, some large and some small. Some of them were barking, and others looked quite meek. Would I find a dog to take home this week? I wanted one badly, I had almost given up, But then I saw Noah, oh a sweet little pup. He looked at me...

I have my shelter from the elements my haven away from world madness my well of peace and harmony where it’s safe and i feel free within its confines.

A mother's arms will make a boy feel warm. Without her, the world would be strange and cold. She keeps her darling safe from fear and harm and offers him a loving hand to hold. She watches over him where he may go and always holds him tightly to her breast. She shields him when the winds...

Mulberries and butterflies
They love the leaves—the butterflies, mulberry for their eggs, a home and caterpillars' feast, where adults rest their legs. Their beauty drawn—the butterflies, mulberry for their dance, where beauty mirrors beauty well, even with fleeting glance. With weather harsh—the butterflies, mulberry their shelter, through chilling winds or blazing heat, no flight helter-skelter. When hunger strikes—the butterflies, mulberry their nectar, for food, for strength, for energy, their nose, their detector. For friendship’s...

Verse 1 His coat is torn his shoes are thin The cold cuts deep beneath his skin Little boy coughs small hands that shake Winter's breath is much to hard To hard to take. Verse 2 Sidewalk echoes silent prayers People pass but no one cares Cardboard kingdom borrowed time Every step is a mount- Mountain climbed. Chorus And the city turns away Like they...

Today I’m channeling on of my favorite Bob Dylan songs to help me with my poem. SHELTER FROM THE STORM A storm has raged across this country since its inception… swirling clouds of greed and prejudice and hate. And as long as this storm continues…our country never will be great! To those who have been and still feel oppressed, hopeless...

To All the Dogs in Shelters
To all the dogs in shelters, Waiting for their deaths: I hope tonight you dream so sweetly Of fields so big and green; trees so high and protecting— You don’t understand that you’ve been abandoned; Your family is never coming back. I hope you feel safe and comfortable On your final night; And when morning arrives, I hope you still feel happy (Your face...
