Rose

Rose
Beautiful Rose
Soft and Delicate
Sweet Tender and Loving
Your Petals So Smooth
No abbressions on your appearance
Just Beauty and Tenderness
Except for your thorns
Sharp Angry Thorns
You Hide Them
At
The
Bottom
Of
You
But
Rose,
They
Are
Still
There.

Poems Are Like Shadows

POEMS ARE LIKE SHADOWS..

ON THE SIDEWALK
CHALK IS FOR KIDS
PLAY IN THE STREET
LIGHT SHINES ON MY FACE
IS SMILING AT YOU
ARE MY SUNSHINE
WARMS MY SKIN
IS SOFT..

COOKIES ARE THE BEST
FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS THERE
IS A MONSTER UNDER MY BED
TIME, BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND WASH

YOUR FACE
IS BEAUTIFUL
FLOWERS IN A MEADOW
GOLD, LIKE THE BUTTER
CUPS I LIKE
THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL
OVER, ROVER...

IS MY DOG
BARKS AT THE MAILMAN
COMES TO MY DOOR
BELL IS RINGING
IN MY EARS
STICKING OUT OF HIS HEAD
OF THE STATE
REPORT WAS TEDIOUS
CLASSES DRAG ON...

AND OFF SWITCH
PLACES FOR THE DAY
AND NIGHT
SHIFT IS LONG

HAIR BLOWS IN THE WIND
IS COOL LIKE MY POEMS

ARE LIKE SHADOWS...

Baby Girl

A baby girl
With eyes so bright
A button nose
Yet full of might
You took on life
And conquered all
Next to you
I feel small
Inspiration is what you give
A little sister
I'm positive
We are so close
Even though you're far
I hope to be wonderful
As you are
You've grown up now
But still I see
The baby girl
You used to be.
