A Limerick About Katie

Katie's laugh is really funny.
I bet she makes lots of money.
Her tattoos are unique.
Her clothes are chic.
And her disposition is sunny.

A Limerick About Theresa

There once was a girl named Theresa.
She looked like the Mona Lisa.
She didn't fight it.
Because she resided
In the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

There was a girl named Theresa.
She thought she had amnesia.
She couldn't remember 
Why she was so limber.
She had taken too much anesthesia.

Gratitude

Beautiful things 
Violin strings
Wedding rings
Diamond bling
When a bird sings
The love God brings
When silver bells ding
Christ the King
Jewels on queens
Wishful dreams
What a prayer means
Human beings
Children on swings
Angel wings
Beautiful things

A Poem About Mitch's Cat

Mitch has cats.
And lots of tats.
He sleeps on a mat
On the floor where it's flat.
They got bit by gnats
And then his cat spat.
He sat on that cat.
The cat likes pats
And he's very fat.

Theresa and Leah: A Poem

Theresa had a quirk.
She had perfected the twerk.
She did it at work.
She wore a smirk.
And found out her boss had gone berserk.

She twerked over to find
Her partner in crime.
Leah didn't mind.
She fell in line.
And they twerked back over to finish this rhyme.

The Goat: A Poem in Three Stanzas

There once was a restaurant in Guam.
You don't want to bring your mom.
There was a goat
In a fur coat.
And weird things were going on.

The goat was up on the stage.
He was amazing given his age.
There were lots of questions.
A few suggestions.
Then he got back in his cage.

The cage was down on the floor.
It was locked the night before.
We heard the goat 
Scream from his throat.
When they took him back to the store.

Beauty

Shadows dance in the breeze
Someone prays on their knees
Little children say please
A blind man can see.

Hearts need keys
A hug is a squeeze
Wind blows with ease
Kids crunching leaves
They fell from the trees.

Blades of grass blow in the breeze
A hive full of honey made by the bees
The people called he's and she's
They marvel at the day they seize.

Spirituality

Poetry reading
Wind chimes singing
Animal pelts
Candles melt
Meditation resting
Yogis stretching
Soaps smelling
Tarot cards telling
Sun catchers gleaming
Water streaming
Dream catchers catching
Horoscope matching
Gem mining
Sun shining
Flower seeds sowing
Plants growing
Religious ritual
Nature is spiritual

Nature

The clouds are made of cotton. 
They swirl in the sky. 
The wind is blowing them fast. 
Birds trail behind.
Soon they will be just a memory.
I lay in the grass watching it all play out.
Crickets are chirping.
They are as loud as the wind.
The sound of the wind drowns out all other noise.
Dogs walk past with their people.
The sun goes behind a cloud.
I put down the hand that was shielding my eyes.
The sun is so bright.
It's God's love shining through.
