Course, rough, yellow sand
Waves breaking on the shore line
Crashing like thunder

As Simple As Pushing One From The Stairs

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Mutter
Crawl
Walk
Fall!
A stair I climb, but yet I’m only am on the first step.
Talk
Sprint
Play
Hint!
A second step fades into my peripheral vision.
Run
Friends
Swing
Ends!
My third foot shakily slides onto the third.
Laugh
Pride
Smirk
Hide!
I smile as I step onto the fourth, energy bursting from my soul.
Love
Hate
Death
Fate!
I slid from the fifth step, and fall back to none.
But after someone reaches the first step…
How […]

The Master and the Servant

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

A man came into power
He accumulated wealth
He then hired a servant
To watch his house and health.
The servant did his job
And then demanded pay.
“I would like my money, sir,
Or I’ll leave the next day”
The master was perplexed
You see, he’d never hired help before
He let the servant pick his wage
Who thought to himself “Score!”
The servant asked his […]

Ode to a Sandwich

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

A sandwich, a sandwich
With all the lunch meats and cheeses,
Salami, ham, turkey, chicken,
And the finest vegetables.
Add your favorite condiments,
For me mustard and mayo,
Top with any cheese,
A pickle, some lettuce, tomatoes.
Add any meat,
Then cover up with bread,
I want mine on rye,
Then slice into squares, or triangles too,
Whatever you would like,
Just make sure it is precise.
Have a […]

Stem Cell Research

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

The beginning cells of a human life
Sacrificed for the good of mankind
Carefully sliced open with a surgical knife
To find the potential within.
Must be the controversial stem cell research
Who some think kills possible humans
These are the beliefs of the Catholic church
Because they think that this is not what God wants.
But still others think that continuing research […]

Ode to a Pizza: Reborn

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Pizza, you are so delicious
But not necessarily nutritious.
Your dough warms up my empty stomach
Satisfying the growling within.
You are lathered in tangy tomato sauce
Which dirties my lips and face.
The shreds of cheese are a blanket of flavor
Melting together to make you look like a gold medal.
Spicy pepperoni sit atop this masterpiece
Making the final product perfect
With a […]

The Man Who Swallowed a Fish

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Happened when he was swimming
A brown scaled fish
Was sucked down his throat
And was gone, forever.
The man looked confused,
Coughed up a tiny fin,
The change was gradual.
However when we saw him the next time
Again in the murky ocean water
He was a completely different person.
His eyes spread to the side of his head
His fingers were merged like paddles
And […]

Peace

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

A golden drop of dew,
on a silver cloud.
Peace
A pure white lily
in a feild of dandylions.
Peace
A calm light dove,
in a sky of wretched seagulls.
Peace
A bright twinkling star
in the midnight sky.
Peace
A lonely stray kitten
with sparkeling blue eyes.
Peace
A little careing child
giving you a bouquet of flowers.
You, someone with a kind heart
reaching out to others.
Peace

A Touch Of Kindness

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Where
Can you find kindness?
I say, in the hand of a helpful mother,
You can find kindness.
In the eyes of a loyal friend,
You can find kindness.
In the calm voice of a grandfather,
You can find kindness.
How
Can you show kindness?
I say, by giving a valentine to the one you love,
You can show kindness.
By listening to others,
You can show kindness.
By […]

Intransitive

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

The pitcher on the mound threw fast,
But exactly what, you might ask?
The ump wasn’t sure,
The call was a cure!
He didn’t see it through the mask!
