Short Nr Poems

"Answers come,
time, forgotten-innocence,
hate laughing-grabbing; ripping...

taunting,

yes-as I know-now...

hate;

it-kills... ."

 blue sky, dotted with white clouds
sun, in his last lap of race
slanting rays gleam in gold sheen
their beauty to evening they bestow

Skip and Jack would cut no slack.
When someone crossed theyr'e wires.
They didn't hold back their tough attack.
They'd proceed to slash your tires.

One day when they both fell asleep.
Somebody stole their dreams.
Now when they pray for souls to keep.
They see God in their beams....

Little Nan in kindergarten
Has learned to say, “I beg your pardon”,
“Excuse me”, “thank you” and “if you please”,
And other phrases such as these.
When home she hugs her little brother
And is a helper for her mother.
She is so sweet that it is cloying
And others find her quite annoying....

My perfect Granddaughter,
She did what she outta,
And asked before going to play.

But we didn't know,
The babe needed to go,
So, she did it outside that day.

Her Mom, full of laughter,
Was quick to chase after,
And told her that she shouldn't do it.

The babe said,"It's OK!"
"Whenever I play,
I'll be sure not to run through it!"...

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Little Abbie wants an ice cream cone
School's closed, you see, and she’s stuck at home!
Watching happy ducks in the pond as they swim
And her red sand pail you've filled to the rim!
Rain, rain, you’re so vain
Never show your face again!

Sparkling, Sparkling, Christmas light,
I love the way you shine so bright,
Your radiance makes the room look fine,
which makes it better than the vine.

Blinking , blinking , as your leaves shine,
How sweet passion and love entwine,
Pretty display of  green  on  tree,
Christ birth makes my heart feels so free.

Smile, son, smile
Smile, son, please.
I can not smile daddy,
I can not smile cheese.

Smile, son, smile
Smile for a pound.
I can not smile daddy
I can not make a sound.

Smile, son, smile
Smile, son, dear.
I can not smile daddy,
I cannot smile clear.

Smile, son, smile
Smile, for a pound.
I can not smile daddy, 
I can not make a sound.

Billy whispered to Jen,
Lets have an adventure again.

Through the maze,
Past the graze.

Their'd you find them,
In a fort made of Ma's favorite denim.

Billy and Jen, partners in crime,
Billy and Jen, Always till the end.

Can't find them?
You'd hear Ma say "Oh, not again!"

Through the maze,
Past the graze.

Their they were!
Making their own world!

Billy and Jen,
Were always,
Best friends, till the end....

A giant called George lived in a cave
He was big, but not very brave
     He had an odd fear of ants
     Afraid they'd crawl up his pants
         So George decided to wear a skirt
         That made the ants laugh till they hurt
              George started  laughing too
              Though why he had no clue
                   So the ants and George became friends
                   And that's where this silly rhyme ends......

Fields of slender sleeves of green
                               Yellow bonnets in the breeze
                                Crocus and Hellebores free
                           A blanketed snowy crystal mound

There was a little girl
who rode a giant squirrel.
They loved to leap and play
around the woods all day.

All through the afternoon
they'd gather nuts and soon
they'd have enough to eat
so tasty and so sweet.

His name was Macaroni.
He was faster than a pony.
They would jump across the sun;
ride a rainbow just for fun.

And when the day was over
he'd ride her through the clover
to her home around the bend
wishing their day'd never end.
