Laura Spears Poem
Words can paint colors no artist hand can draw.
Express such emotions which fill others with awe.
Describe a scene so vividly that one can see it all.
And recapture memories that years cannot recall

Laura Spears Poem
Her father reared her carefully, she learned from what he knew.
He took her everywhere he went. He leads her now to you.
This is the final time he will lead her anywhere.
After today it is up to you, she is in your care.
Watch over her and love her as she becomes your life.
The woman who is my sister, who now will be your wife.

Laura Spears Poem
I
am a
special gift to
give to a teacher
red and round and ripe
delicious and tart and sweet
Crunchy, crispy and fun to munch
You should put me in your lunch.
I am such a very healthy snack
To keep the doctor away you
Should eat one every day
Such a treat and good,
Good to eat

Laura Spears Poem
I wish you looked at me the way you look at her.
She mesmerizes and calls to you in a way I never can.
Her beauty is superficial and only skin deep,
But you see her and cannot turn away.
I wish you listened to me the way you listen to her.
She will tell you anything you want to hear or know.
You hang on her words as if nothing else exists
And nothing else does when you are with her.
I wish you would spend time with me the way you do with her.
She has you when you relax and when you work.
You listen to her music as if I’m not around
And she is the only one you hear.
I wish you touched me the way that you touch her.
She is the one whose face you stroke with gentle caresses.
You love the way she responds to your fingers
And you cannot put her down.

Laura Spears Poem
The rooster crows about being the best in the yard.
Bob White shouts his name to the neighbors.
Barks and Yips, Howls and Meows,
Splishes and Splashes and Screams of delight
As the ice cream truck sings its song.
Fireflies flash warning lights as
The bats come swooping in.
And someone is Whipping Poor Will again.

Laura Spears Poem
We were riding in the car near the Alabama line,
When I saw all over the trees a strange looking vine.
I wondered what it was, I didn’t have a clue.
I asked my mother what it was and she said, “That’s kudzu!”
We stopped at a rest area off I-59
It was surrounded by those kudzu vines.
Mom said to watch my brother Bill.
He was playing around rolling down a hill.
I was only halfway watching, we had just had a fight,
When suddenly my brother disappeared from sight.
I screamed for mom, I didn’t know what to do.
I’d just lost my little brother in the kudzu.
I didn’t go in, the vines were way too thick.
So I just called his name and poked with a stick.
I had almost given up when I heard a whine.
My brother came crawling out and he was just fine.

Laura Spears Poem
When we touch, it's there
Metal and live wire.
Sparks fly from your eyes to mine.
A touch, by accident or deliberate.
I shiver as my blood runs hot.
Electricity is there, we both know.
We must be careful though
Before we ignite a fire
Which consumes us both.

Laura Spears Poem
Dr. Seuss
Knew how to choose.
Words that would sing
Like buzz, bang and bing.

Laura Spears Poem
Trees turning to green
Fragrant flowers freely bloom
Welcome warm weather.
