If you were a rock instead of a person,Which would you miss the most?The joy, the happiness, the love,The blessings of human feelings? Perhaps, even the disappointments,Pain, mistakes, or broken hearts?Ahh, the capacity of humanity,What a shame to be, just a rock! But as a rock, I would say,I have all the time in theContinue reading “A Rock”

Let’s Laugh Together
Eat your soup with a fork,Crumble crackers with a hammer,Teach a parrot to shout a bark,I’ll tell a joke with a stammer. Catch a ball without your glove,Shine my car to dim the glare,Land a snowflake on your tongue,Lick the floor on a dare. Make me laugh with your antics,Hang your shirt upside down,Let’s liveContinue reading “Let’s Laugh Together”
The Unicorn Rider
Where is my little cowgirl?Our fun had just begun,She rode me into the pool,Splashed water at the sun. Her “Yee-haw” spurred me on,Our hair tangled in the wind,Our ocean blue, backyard pool,My cowgirl firm in hand. Now, I’m stuffed in the box,My cowgirl, she’s gone home,I’ll have to wait to inflate,Swim waves again to roam.
What is Love Anyway?
My Lord, why would you,Create emotions so big and so tall?Despite our mighty efforts,Our words can’t express it all. It turns our hearts into mush,It makes our voices sing,It makes our eyes cry,In our ears, all the bells ring! Would you care to explain,What love is all about,This indescribable feeling,That we can’t live without?
Fall Colors
Autumn tones of browns and yellows,The orange of Jack-O-Lanterns,Front porch games, connect the dots,In match strikes of scattered light. Pinks and blues of birthday cakes,Merry-go-rounds of sweets,Peeking through kitchen windows,With squinty eyes into the dark. Greens grow out of gray rains,Tall trees become a forest,Wind rolling across their tops,Cutting like an old push mower. PushContinue reading “Fall Colors”
Halloween 2022
The sky is thick in strips of straw,And smells of flying witches,Children’s ears can hear their calls,And see their warts and twitches. The streets are full of zombies,With blank stares in their eyes,Broken tooth grins to scare me,Through screaming victims’ cries. I think you best stay in tonight,I might just do the same,Or find aContinue reading “Halloween 2022”
Banana Smoothie
My life as a banana is sweet,People tend to love and eat me,Yet, I yearn to be something else,A delightful banana smoothie! Smoothies are cool and colorful,With sprinkles and cream on top,Add chocolate chips and strawberries,My name in lights on the shop! So, peel me and drop me in a glass,Add flavors and lesser ingredients,WhipContinue reading “Banana Smoothie”
High School 1968
Drove a ’64 Ford, maroon and gray,Cruisin’ for the girls ever’ night ‘n day,Music was a blastin’ while on the way,Young ‘n good lookin’, we were doin’ ok! Yeeee haw baby, wasn’t life so good!A wink and a pinch, ‘cause I knew I could! Nicki’s drive-in was the place to be seen,Drivin’ in circles, drinkin’Continue reading “High School 1968”
Halloween 2020
Boooo …. Hah hah hah! Witches grimoire with magic spells,Spooky stories it will tell,Incantations be believed,Ghosts and goblins, monster’s creed. Look behind you walking streets,Careful who you choose to greet,Never sure who’s friend or foe,Spirits dark with eyes that glow. Candy’s good but is it worth,Risking all from slippery birth,Dungeons, racks, and guillotines,You’ll never return,Continue reading “Halloween 2020”
Marbles
The gall of stones to mess your life,Bones in stones of stress and strife,Fatigue of pain, discomfort too,I’ll hold my breath and pray for you. But they’ll not win this game of pain,Like marbles rolling down the drain,They’ll roll away into their grave,The pain they’ll get is the pain they gave! Get Well My Darling,Love,Continue reading “Marbles”
