Life from a cocoon
This butterfly emerges 
A fragile beauty
With a pair of graceful wings
Yet her flight conceals a bruise

Who did Tommy a great favor

For a Seven Year Old

If your fingers were made out of sausages
I'm sure that your dog would like those
but the problem would be you could not tie your shoes
and they certainly won't fit up your nose!

Lights in windows come alive
Children go indoors for supper
Shadows stretch, sun slowly hides
Birds are winging home
Labors called inside
And the dark side of our valley welcomes the evening star

Premium Member Some Day

I cross more off. The contests I was late
to partake in. I find one judged last May
My list grows on, I know the world won't wait.

It matters not, I look once more and say -
As long as these turn poems one fine day!
