Dianna Collier Poem
Cinnamalls all in bloom
Their bright colors eliminate the gloom
Muffinflies buzzing around
Bumblesnake rattles a new sound
The razzle vines love to climb
They will reach the sky given time
The Bibiannas all purple, yellow, and red
Make sure all the birds are feed
The smell is tantalizing
Which leaves one fantasizing
With thoughts romanticizing
Of evenings scandelizing
The tigerphant lets off a sneeze
Due to the pollen in the breeze
The monkabear hangs from his knees
As he plays within the trees
The muskrays are in the sun
Dancing around and having fun
The wonkawils have no means
As they lay within the leaves
The water reaches the vines
Feeding flowers and creatures of all kinds
When the sun is right
The water sparkles so bright
This special garden grown just for you
A perfect place for two
With all the flowers in bloom
All covered in the morning dew

Dianna Collier Poem
The sun raises up over the ridge
The sky shines a multitude of colors
Pink with a tinge of purple
That only lasts for a few precious moments
Some mornings the clouds
Come down from the sky into the fields
Allowing a walk in the mist
Who knew it was possible to walk in the clouds
The fields are filled with nature
Deer feed while tending their fawn
Rabbits hop, coyotes hunt while the roadrunners race around
Watch out for the bear, large cat or the razorback
The birds are plentiful in their beauty
The red of the cardinals, blue of the jays and yellow of the finches
The sounds of the woodpecker and hummingbirds
The soaring of the hawks, vultures, and eagles
When it rains all run for cover
The thunder roars, and makes the mountain shake
Lighting strikes a tree with a mighty boom
Fearing the tornado that can come from any place
As the sky clears the sun shines down
The water reflecting off the leaves
The animals return refreshed
The rainbow crosses the sky reminding us of God’s promise
The roads twist and turn, up and down
With drops off to the left and right
Careful as dangers are abound
Deer dash all around
As the day turns to night it becomes total darkness
The sounds of the tree frogs fill the air
In the distance the scream of a small animal
being caught as dinner in the forest
At night the creatures crawl scorpions, spiders, and snakes
Birds of prey hunt the fields
On the mountain the circle of life takes place
Survival of the fittest
The sky is clear, and in the darkness
Stars can be seen representing all the constellations
The stars shoot across the sky and quickly die
It is amazing the beauty of the sky

Dianna Collier Poem
Hello can you hear me
Speaking louder is key
Make sure they see your lips
Talk slow and clear
TV is too loud
Barraged by too much sound
Silence cannot be achieved
Not even a thought can be perceived
Words misconceived
Offense received
Information missed
Miscommunication persist
Effects the young
Effects the old
Problem is ignored
Wishing their hearing was restored
Assistance they need
To help them succeed
As their hearing fades
Thankful for hearing aids

Dianna Collier Poem
Splash, Crash, Boom
The clouds go black soon
The storm approaches
As the wind reproaches
The thunder clashes
The lightning flashes
The wave appears
Way to near
Bamm, Slam, Creer
The boat is rocked the end is near
The men dive off with a mighty splash
Listen as the rocks and boat crash
Bubble, Bubble, Bubble
Looks like trouble
As the shark emerges from the blue
Hunting humans that have no clue
Holding on to debris to keep afloat
Praying to God and losing hope
The fin is drawing near
You can smell the fear
Luckily help was at hand
Which assisted them to the land
Dripping water on the sand
Making sure everyone’s at hand

Dianna Collier Poem
Have you ever looked into the eyes of madness
Someone who brings only sadness
Seen into the eyes of someone with no conscience
They are usually obnoxious
A person with madness in their eyes
Live their lives in disguise
In their own reality
Justifying actions of insanity
Rape, murder, extortion, reality is distortion
Arson, kidnapping, theft, till there is nothing left
Never test the anger
As they can be an enchanter
Psychopaths and Sociopaths
Mental illness is their wrath
They travel through the light
Causing trouble in the night
Some victims are rich, some are poor
Both the young and the old
Jails not the answer, sanitariums don’t mend
For most of them, they will suffer in the end

Dianna Collier Poem
Caregiving is not for the weak
Giving care trying not to be bleak
Medicine changes, pill bottles around
Changing of diapers without even a frown
Pain and regret
As they forget
Memory lapses and confusion
Sometime life is an illusion
Sometimes the routine causes stress
All you want is some rest
Many doctors to see
Thank God for the nurses helping me
Hope for the best
Pray for the rest
As we treasure each day
Before they slip away
You know what they want to say
As you help them through the day
Even though they withdraw
You know that they love you

Dianna Collier Poem
The angry dog is big and mean
He is strong, agile and lean
His bark is high and gives a fright
As it carries through the night
Touch his food and see him raise
His attack is a surprise
Jaws a blazing, eyes of steel
As he is fighting for his meal
But love he has for his own
His humans, his pack, his home
He paces and snarls and wants to run free
Just so he can follow me.
To the one who is a threat
Meeting him they will regret
An ambulance will soon be seen
If anyone ever threaten me
His daily hug and kiss
Every morning is my wish
He has much love and a heart of gold
My Shepherd, My Love, My Very Own

Dianna Collier Poem
As the dinner hour is approaching
Daylight is reproaching
Bringing in the darkness of night
Lights are all turned on bright
House trembles from the power of the wind
As the lights are dimmed
The mother prepares and cooks
They exchange worried looks
Possibly the power will soon go out
The father quickly looks about
For all the supplies they will need
Candles, blankets and something to read
The lightning flashes and lights the sky
The thunder crackles and they all jump high
The rain starts to pour
Pounding the windows and door
A loud pop and the house goes dark
What should we do the children remark
He lights the candles with a spark
They all eat their dinner in the dark
No TV, No internet, they finally speak
About all the things they did that week
In a world of darkness and fear
The reliance on power is quite clear
The children seat there with nothing to do
As their toys all need power to
The parents are hoping it won’t last long
Knowing the damage when winds are strong
As the storm gets louder and the sky flashes light
The children keep their parents in sight
Finally owning their fright
Holding their mother tight
The little children shake with fear
As the storm keeps drawing near
The father starts to read a story
One that tells of bravery and glory
Don’t worry it will be all right
When suddenly there was light
The house starts to purr as it turns on
With relief all the fear is gone

Dianna Collier Poem
Trees are full of multiple colors
As the temperature drops a few degrees
A beautiful time to walk for lovers
To walk within the trees
Stepping out the door I feel the cold
Putting on my mitten and boots
Straining as I am getting old
Don’t want to go, but have no excuse
As I relax on the porch
Sipping on a hot drink
Watching the clouds as they approach
A perfect place to think
As the sun deceives
As outside you will freeze
Closing the shutter
I already miss the summer

Dianna Collier Poem
As the cardinal streaks across the sky
Leaving a trail of brilliant red as it flies
The woodpecker methodically
Peaks away at the distant tree
The mighty bluebird looking royal in blue
Taking over the feeder it rules
Hidden in the trees
Is the black crows of three
The doves can be heard chirping
As they gather in a grouping
The finches small but mighty
Take the berries from the trees lightly
Soaring high in the sky
The bald eagles fly
The hawk screeches
Grabbing pry as it reaches
The bats soaring through the night
Scaring those who see it in flight
The owls are asking who
Are they speaking to you
When suddenly the hummingbird appears
Hovering near to my ears
Sending me to a place of calm and peace
Feeling my soul release
