Corretta Charles Poem
?I watch you move gracefully through the water
Your sleepy eyes and lazy ways
during the hottest days.
Oh, how great art thou yawn.
From the sun’s rays, you’ve withdrawn.
You don't move around like busy bees.
You keep cool in a watery pool,
fanned by the summer breeze.
To figure you out, why do I bother?
You're one of the most unique creatures God ever thought of.

Corretta Charles Poem
?How beautiful you are in your yearly attire.
You are always fashionable whether winter, spring, summer, or fall.
Decorated with insects and animals, your taste never gaudy.
Your stylish designs are copied around the world, tres chic.
From morn to night, you are always in the perfect light.
Even viewed from space you're a perfect piece of jewelry.

Corretta Charles Poem
?As I watch the butterflies dance, I'm bound by illness.
I'm lifted up by the songs of birds.
Look up during the day, look up at night
I'm awestruck at the sight.
Beams of sunlight penetrate the dark room like rays of hope.
One cannot live life looking through a window.
No illnesses of the mind and body will hold me captive forever.
It's God's promise.
I look forward to the days of peace and perfection.
I look forward to the day I will join in the song and dance.
At the present, I will wait.

Corretta Charles Poem
?Why do you smile so?
Are you in possession of a terrible secret?
Your calm demeanor and intelligent eyes,
what are you thinking about?
You're smiling when you're resting.
You're smiling when you're swimming.
Even when you greet your neighbors.
No one is a stranger to you.
Crocodile, why do you smile?
Do you like having you picture taken?
Do you like being on t.v.?
Other media?
When I look in your eyes for the answer,
I'm certain, without a doubt
the reason you smile is that
you know something I don't.
Yes, you possess a terrifying secret.
I won't press you for an answer.
I won't enter your courtyard without permission,
or be so bold as to demand a reason
as to why you are smiling at me.
