Anniversary

this is inspired by a picture of a guy looking at a piece of bread with one candle 
on it,  http://allpoetry.com/amyrowsell

today would be our first wedding anniversary
but I lost her, a month ago
a guy was driving drunk and crossed the line
that night he took the life of mine
you think that they would learn 
driving is a privilege you have to earn
I hate him for what he has done 
he took away a mother from me and our young son
nobody wins when people drive drunk

It Burns

insired by a picture from allpoetry.com/amyrowsell



What burns inside her? 
what is that girl’s fire?
something that maybe he is not providing
is there something she is hiding?
is there something dark inside her
maybe what she sees is a blur
maybe she was scared for life
maybe she didn’t want to be his wife
maybe this girl needs help
maybe she needs something for herself
what is this girl’s fire 
what is burning inside her?

Broken Crayons

as a young child 
you don’t understand
the cause of broken crayons
is from your hand
you push hard to make it dark 
you have to learn over time
making a picture dark 
doesn’t color any line
so your mommy tries to tape them 
and that color just wont work
like it did at first 
taping a crayon is not something new
my mommy taped my crayons 
when I broke the color blue
I thought I would be smart
and I tried  to use some glue
but that didn’t work either
before I know it, I had broken two
if you learn to color gently 
your crayons will last 
then taped crayons will be a thing of the past

See, See, See

See what a great world it could be
see what a great world it should be
see a plant, see a tree
see a bug see a bee
see an ocean, see a sea
See see See

see what a great world it would be
see what a great world it should be
see a lock, see a key
see a radio, see a CD
see an stream, see a sea
See see see

Deployment

after a yr of waiting, 
its finally here, 
time for you to come home, 
its been a long year,
loosing teeth, 
second grade, 
school time,
mommy first aid, 
field trips too,
i cant wait, 
to share these with you
everyone is growing up
some  moving away
we think of you everyday
we want you to be here with fun times to share
hold you tight, show you we care,
its coming soon, 
enjoy the time we spend together, 
before we know it, 
you'll be gone again,
fighting for our country,
will we ever win?
deployments are hard on families, they say
with your home-comming soon, 
getting easier everyday
anticipation is a word i know to well
been waiting for this day a long while, 
when you come home, we see that smile
we can't wait to see you again, 
finally this waiting will end

Snow

the snow is nice and cool
when there is a lot I stay home from school
tubing with my brother, 
getting yelled at for it by my mother
making snowmen with my nephew 
if I stay out to long I turn blue
the snow glistens in the sun,
Oh isn't winter fun

Madison

I've only known you a short time
the news of your birth filled my heart
 with joy and love
a baby is a gift 
from heaven above
two hearts, a new soul,
a feeling only parents know
your mom she is a sister to me
we are a family

every night, sleep tight
every day, you will play
every meal, get your fill

Sleepless nights and endless lights
dirty diapers, bottles, and binkys too
Madison, I love you
come stay with me, let your mom have some peace,
you are my baby niece

We all have problems, and stuggles too
I will be here to help you through
I will teach you and watch you grow
and tell you things you need to know

Action figures, teddy bears, and Barbie dolls
little girls and shopping malls
as this chapter of your life ends, 
now the Fairy Tale begins

Cinderella's glass slipper
and her Prince Charming,
Sleeping Beauty  is awaken 
by a kiss,
Princess Fionia takes loves true form,
Jasmine and Aladdin,
Arial and Prince Eric,
just to name a few 
my favorite Princess is you

I want you to know 
I'll help you grow
I'll be your friend, not a foe
watch out for paths you don't know
where trouble learks, Don't go
Have mom call me night or day 
I don't want you to go astray

The Chi Wawa and the Kitten

I have a Chi Wawa 
not much bigger then a cat
Jimmy is his name 
being vicious is his game
my son brought home a kitten one day
at first they didn't want to play 
then Jimmy decided to change his way
they grew together as being our pets
and each other was the least of threats
when one is away the other one cries
like they will never have good-byes
they lick each other here and there
they smell each other everywhere
they protect each other too
i know that when they are huddled
deep asleep and cuddled 
they are thinking of each other 
images of little kitten pups dance in their heads
"Will I get my food?" is the least of their dreads
they fell in love 
like it was destiny from above

Ode To Iraq

you've taken my husband away,
I want him back
our soliders try to help your country
we want you to be like us "free"
your people are causing problems
because they want their lifestyle 
the way of old
some of your people want to be controlled
other people want to be like us, you see
with few laws and otherwise "free"
your country continues violence 
while our country morns in silence
taking away people close to us
your country is causing a lot of fuss
please let the problems go
let our soilders come home,
things will flow,
your country will grow
become a better place 
if you let differences go

Desert Walk

15-25 words photo promt  of a picture in the desert
from http://allpoetry.com/amyrowsell

hot, dry, sunny, day 
it is nature's way
lizards, cacti, and foxes too
pain, ongoing, never ending, 
thirst, craving you
