I wish we had a cat
Not some lousy dog
Because a dog knows not of the word “bathroom”
Or not to go into it just to get a drink.

I wish we had a dog
Not some lousy cat
Because a cat scratched up my barbie doll
And tossed her up a tree.

The “L” would stand for life commitment
The “O” for over and over
The “V” for the vow it shall represent
The “E” for eternity moreover.
The “H” stands for hunger of malevolence
The “A” for alone
The “T” for taunting common sense
The “E” for the everlasting unknown.

He sits there
Only a few feet away,
His alabaster hands
Fiddling with the hem
Of his dilapidated
Trousers.
I stare at him.
He stares back.
I glare at him.
He glares back
With those
Majestic
valley green eyes
Much like a cat’s.
His lips are
Cracked
Parched with the dearth
We have experienced profoundly.
That
Sun faded button up
He wore every day,
And that torn
Ten-gallon hat that I knew most cowboys
Were into.
He was a […]
A place not so long before
With towering silver gates
And a gilded door.
In this garden extravaganza
Sunflowers taking sun’s place
This embellished bonanza.
A safe haven for those of great tragedies
A balmy spring wind
Buzzing with bees.
I had felt the rays hot upon my back
As I meandered through the flowers
I found nothing was black.
I felt found
Not lost
So I made no […]
Actions speak louder than words?
But for that person who heard
It burns like they set their hand on a stove.
Gossip can’t stop its nasty rove.
Drama is filling up the glass
Immersing my mass.
Watching in as words ride
I can run but I can’t hide.
I dive down a foxhole
Like a caged animal.
Nothing I can do about it for sure
It’s […]
Fun
Let the summer begin,
school is out soon and I am
ready
To hit the shore, swim, and skim.
Play manhunt at night.
Run on the tar then grass and then more tar.
And get in trouble by the annoying neighbors,
that we are staying up too late.
We stay up anyway.
With friends I only
see
in the
summer.
Always memories from the hot summer are fresh […]
Course, rough, yellow sand
Waves breaking on the shore line
Crashing like thunder

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…

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 […]
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 […]
