It's worse than broccoli.
It's worse than a bath.
It's worse than the measles-
It's...math!

Mary had a dinosaur
That her daddy bought her
Because she was a terrifying, T-Rex
Kind of daughter.

I bought a yoga DVD
To try out all the poses,
But quickly found that yoga's
Something my old back opposes!

I'll be a poet.
Words will flow from heart to pad.
I'll write through times good
And, with God's hand, through times bad.
I'll have a ball...I know it!

As sunlight's beauty dies,
I hide in this cold corner,
And love lost is remembered.
An uninvited memory from yesterday
Brought tears in mid-September.

Knew a young lady named Cherie
Had an attitude that was always merry
Tripped on a stone
Broke a few bones
She certainly didn't sing like a canary

I play music while I write-
It really helps me think.
And makes my words all rock and roll
Like Ratt, Poison and Pink.

Dearest Cherie on another site, is my inspiration
Each day, my world is brightened beyond imagination
I look for her words
They touch a nerve
They exude love and friendship with much dedication...

Gods must be crazy -
A mixed bag of surprises -
while creating you

They put a heart of Gold and Zircon eyes,
melted love and compassion to mix
the amazing emotions and
sprinkled positivity
all over to make
you so special
"Ma Cherie"-
I Love
You...

Is my brother for real?
He kicks and he bites.
He wets his bed
And starts terrible fights.

He picks his nose-
Can he be my kin?
Or is my brother...
An alien?

Falling riffs like spangled gold,
And sounding drums seem to explode
A surge of tapping, dancing feet,
The piano’s notes, mon coeur entreat.
Cherie amour the air is ''sweet'', so silver laced,
Each face reflects another’s shine
As endeavours fruit is taken in
Like fragrant mellow wine.

There is a breeze 
As tepid SUMMER seeks 
Tender hearts lost

That look
A smile
Shining eyes

That face 
She plays magically
There she goes 

A soft whisper
Indeed enticing
There she goes again

Her style this while a
Season hypnotic
She plays  the harp

Strings inside my heart
With grace She lays ma Cherie
My love how I love

These days....

I am bored with math.
Two plus two always equals four.
Why can't it equal an ice cream cone
Or a trip to the candy store?

Four plus four always equals eight-
Never a video game,
Or a Disneyland vacation.
No, the answer's e'er the same!

One times one always equals one.
Where's the fun in that?
I'd love to see the answer be
A brand new baseball bat!

A blood stained floor, 

An opportunity missed, 
A life unlived, 
A bleeding wrist. 

A silent scream, 
A silent cry, 
A moment of weakness, 
A minute goes by. 

A decsion made, 
A taken life, 
A letter written, 
A razor knife. 

A broken home, 
A mess to clean,  
An empty gap 
A horror scene. 

A Life Dead ; Gone ; No More

My father is a Christmas tree-
My mom, a silver ball.
I'm merely a portrait
Hanging on the wall.

But, my eyes see clearly
Father standing tall and strong
Holding fragile Mother dearly,
Whispering, "It won't be long

Until we see our brave son
Who died tragically that day
In a war unwon
By his beloved USA."

Mon Cherie Amour

Always in my heart....you beat,
Like a drum being played in 
summer’s heat.
Cymbals I do lovingly hear, 
Whenever our naked toes are near.

You, the ever-present, inspiration.
The driving force, behind my simple, 
poetic creations.

I wonder oft, are my poems dull or 
boring?
I shan’t apologize, as my wish, is
to set other souls soaring.

Whenever our naked toes are near.

You, the ever-present, inspiration.

I wonder oft, are my poems, dull or boring?
I shan’t apologize, as my wish, is~
To set other wanting souls....... soaring!

I love myself
And you should love me, too,
For I am a beauty queen
On the planet Ru.

My bazooms are real-
A fun size Double D:
My olive highlights natural-
There's nothing fake about me.

My eighteen eyes are blue-
My tentacles, long and lean.
My skin is perfectly tanned
A shade you Earthlings call grass green.

My mother says I'm lovelier 
Than a twinklin' star
And that, when it comes to beauty,
I have set the Ruan bar!

She cursed the world and all its people
As she drowned within her pain.
She sank beneath Hate’s reeking smog 
As Fear wreaked havoc in her brain.

The sun comes out and spreads its warmth.
Love’s healing rays still cannot reach her.
The walls she’s built block out the sun,
And her loneliness consumes her.

The days go by and turn to years,
But for this child it’s far too late.
All that remains is a wisp of smoke –
The stench of all-consuming hate.
