Orphan early he was left
By God was adopted!

Meerkats stand on mound entrance
Straight, erect, alert watching
Almost undistinguishable stands
A garfield like cat, adopted child

Had a baby at sixteen:
was told he was adopted.
I spent years searching for him,
but, mom and dad lied to me,
the baby had died.

Charlie was our sweet adopted cat-
A rescue from a fire- not only that;
Twenty years we shared love- tit for tat.

and orphaned alone
To never have surnames

My name is Stacey
One who will rise again
My name is Leon
A lion among men
One who will resurrect
Through the Holy One
I am a king, a man
Adopted as a son

We are all of us kings and queens
I don't mean in family genes
But: God loves us to smithereens
We're adopted to royal means

The crippled pigeon
Who had the gift of love
Adopted three orphaned
Bunnies; sheltering
Them under her tiny wings
Love was in the air
With this tiny little dove

The whole world is made an anemy.
I still have adopted you.
The heart wished you to tell me your own.
Promise you what he has done.
The whole world is made an anemy.
I still have adopted you.

I do not know?
who is my mother?
What happened in those early days?
when did you let time slip away?
where did you do for so long?
why didn't you come back?

Abundant and Redundant
Trump's weird words have become abundant;
To poets like you and me they are redundant;
When we saw him;
His wits were dim,
And has adopted the ability to be repugnant.

At what age should I tell my dog he's adopted?
Don't want him to start drinking, and getting el blotto
He was bought at a store
And even what's more
He isn't a human though he tries to act macho

A child by chance
Adopted by choice
Loved by many
Two brilliant mothers
One run away father
A wonderful dad
Her choices were many
Her talents were plenty
Happily ever after happened
For a child of chance

My dog is so happy
People comment, who see
She prances with love for life, lovingly
Bringing smiles everywhere to be
Her name is Bella, from Tennessee
Adopted years ago, now always with me

Adopted a young son by the name of James
A rebel from the word go, he had no shame
His only good trait
Made great chocolate cake
Don't know his secret but his looks gave him fame

Pirate girl adopted the parrot, for it was great company
They traveled on her clipper ship out to the biggest sea
Sometimes they danced and sang, the parrot on her knee
Happy as two best friends could ever be if you ask me

SURPRISE
a
renowned
originality
a
sketch
of
the curious
ended in a stalemate
a
single tapestry
of
atmospherics
sometime
evident
in the
unprecedented
innovation
adopted
of
coolly
detached views

There’s no problem
with death
when it’s
tomorrow
One day from
today
as the calendar
turns
Time
stays an orphan
all moments
adopted
The end
yet beginning
its promise
— adjourned

There was no secret
among mountains.
Clouds were their adopted siblings.
*
Only the rain drops
were dancing.
The mounts stand still.
*
I beg your leave.
The spring has invited.
I have to meet the yellow blooms.

There’s a great luxury
in telling the truth
A richness verbatim
no lies to refute
A strength of conviction
beyond substance and style
Through the ages adopted

Today was the worst day of my entire life.
I HATE YOU
YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING
SHUT THE #### UP
YOUR WORTHLESS
I DONT CARE IF YOU RUN AWAY
YOU STUPID PIECE OF ####
NO ONE LIKES YOU
I WISH I NEVER ADOPTED YOU
I SWEAR IM GOING TO KILL YOU
Someone kill me

The meaning of Friends or true Friendship is to me,
others we grow to love and care about immensely.
What is then left to do? Adopt them naturally.
I've adopted all of my true friends as members of my own family
......and that's what friendship means to me.
