Before we met didn't know where I belong

Amidst my familiar..I didn't feel at home.

Just as Dorothy.. I could click my heels

Or prepare a ballad to sing how I feel.

Before we met Myself I couldn't express

All that I felt though I did my very best.

Now all I have to do is pick up my pen

Write on my paper what I couldn't say then.

Thank you, fellow 'penners'

Mary Did You Know

He laid down his head thankfully upon a bed of straw
Mary his mother softly caressing his head, singing him to sleep
His father Joseph eyeing the sheep, cows, and other guest there
While the sound of "Messiah"  blows through the crisp night air.
Mary did you know?

Not one trumpet blared as the Messiah was manger born
The sounds of maternal birth pains followed by an angelic cry
No children singing, no bells ringing, not one parade in sight
To announce that the Savior, Jesus, was born this very night

Mary, did you know? 
Yours that was seen as the least... is really the most?
Your manger born Messiah- appeared from the right hand of God
The  crucifiers saw him with hatred, that's what they wished to see
Was the grown up baby Jesus....that would soon deliver me..
Mary, did you know?

My Pie

My pie
                                                  May I ask why
                                            I opened wide my eye
                                    Thought I'd never see a hole in
                                                        My pie

Sammy the Seaman

Today we celebrate 
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.

It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget.

Snakes

Snakes
                                    Beautiful Muscular
                                   Slither speak strike
                            powerful boastful fear retreat
                                           Snakes

Trees

Stop and look at the 
trees in the wind look
how they sway back and forth
greeting all they meet.

Their leaves are so 
beautiful that they catch
your very eye while the
willows bow at your feet.

Natures Valentine

Natures kiss sweet as
pure nectar from honey bees
With love willows bow.

Halloween Haiku

Clocks ticking-
children prepare their costumes
while evil lurks.

We Applaud You

Come on in, the Crowd awaits- the Nation is on its feet
Expressing thanks for your service-dare not be discreet.
We roll out the red carpet - of jubilant praise just for you
Expressing our gratitude for all you've done and do.
We tip our hats to God for he has heard us as we say
Keep the soldiers under your wings he heard us pray.
You went into a battle yet, didn't know what to expect
Fought for our countrys freedom without any regrets.
We indeed are so blessed by the ones who did survive
Even those who succombed then, in our hearts are now alive.



Dedicated to our Veterans 
Thank You
