Poetry
These are the colors:
Green as the growing grass,
Blue as the sky above,
Red as the rose’s blush,
Pink as the sun’s first light at dawn,
Yellow as the buttercup’s brass,
Orange as the fruity splash,
Purple as the orchid’s bloom,
Rusty as the camouflaged coat,
Black as technology’s image,
White as your smile’s touch:
Colors that make my world go round.
What’s stopping the car?!
Hope it won’t get too far.
The parking brakes not on,
That’s what’s wrong!
You tried to pull it up
Without any luck,
And now it will roll
As far as the pole,
Which will act as a brake
In the moment it takes
For it to roll down the hill;
The movement will be still.
And you watch in disbelief,
And try to hold your grief,
As the car is munched
With quite a loud CRUNCH!
But no need to worry,
You just need to say “Sorry”,
Because this circumstance
Is covered by insurance.
Busy little black ant under your heavy load,
Where does your steady trail take you?
The tree’s roots are where your family lives.
Colony teamwork has built a network of
Winding tunnels and gaping miniature caverns
Far beneath the ground.
There, you raise little rice-like eggs
That are the next generation’s
Diligent members of the ant community.
I watch and learn
As you go about busy errands
Oblivious to the giant world about you,
Your empire rules.
Believe in yourself
You know that you can.
Things that you do
Are part of the plan.
Spirit supports you
And wants you to be
Successful in life
And forever free.
Don’t make limits
There are many things to try
As you do new things
You wave the old good-bye.
Fresh and new
You let new things thru
And life gets better:
To yourself be true.
Get encouragement here
Cause your life can shine
As you take a chance
And start crossing the lines.
There was a fat cat,
Wearing a hat.
He sat on a mat
With a bat.
He was chasing a rat.
Splat!
He got him flat!
Imagine that!
The cake flaked
As it baked.
Jake wanted to take
The cake to the lake
To give to the drake,
Who was making a steak
For his date
With his mate,
Who was late.
She arrived at eight
And blamed the snowflakes
For her late state.
Smart Bart
Remarked
That the lemon tart
In the cart
Was a work of art
And like a dart,
It became part
Of his heart.
Very soon,
The big baboon
Will sing a lively tune
And swoon and croon
Like a lovesick loon
To a yellow balloon
He thought was the glowing full moon
In June.
What a goofy goon!
Quivering, Questing,
The bunny’s nose
Is always testing.
Sitting in a pose
Ears held high
Up to the sky
As the fox’s scent
Is forward sent
And bunny hops away
And saves the day.
A Valentine’s wish
Is sealed with a kiss.
Saying “I love you”
Is the thing to do,
As the heart gives a jump
And starts to really thump
When those three little words
Are playfully heard.
Sincerity drips
From honest lips
And a vigorous hug
Causes heartstrings to tug.
Valentine’s day is for all
And so lovers hear the call:
To make the day great
Is never too late.
Valentine’s Day
Is here to stay
And will always find a way
To let the people play,
Cause a Valentine’s wish
Is sealed with a kiss
And at the end of it all
We all hear the call.
Nothing goes together better than
Valentine’s Day and Poetry…
From “Me”
