Fall, Leaves, Falls,

Fall, Leaves, Fall

Fall, Leaves, Fall.     by Emily Bronte

Red and brown

Fall, leaves, fall;

Golden Yellows

die, flowers, away;

Reds, and greens, and yellows

lengthen the night and shorten the day;

Shades of green

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Yellow fades to orange

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

Bright yellow and a paler green

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

From green to reds and yellows

Blossoms where the rose should grow;

Oranges

I shall sing when night’s decay

And the sun shines through

Ushers in a drearier day.

A Blue Book

A blue book
I'm looking at a blue book 
Laying on a shelf. 
It's staring back at me,
Yelling about itself. 

Pick me up, it says. 
Open the cover and turn the page.
It holds the information 
That you are afraid to crave.

You need to study me
To read my every word.
You will feel so much better 
After every word is heard.

But I only stare
As tears roll down my face.
I hate its very existence, 
I want it to disappear without a trace.

The Humble Donkey

A cute little family of donkeys…
Calm, patient, steady.
When Mary needed a ride
the donkey
was ready.

They protect herds 
from wolves and coyotes. 
Their hee haw, 
is actually quite throaty.

They are stronger than horses,
their strength and stamina 
can, of course,
be a contending force.

Highly intelligent 
their capability of learning, 
often leaves other animals
yearning.

For their smile,
that can be seen for a mile.

So the next time
you want to use the word 
Donkey, as an insult 
take yourself to task
And don't be an A....

Valentine’s Day

Bouquets
Rose petals 
and flowers.


Flowers 
Greenery 
and lavender hues.
Daisies and lilies
will remind me of you.

And flowers 

Pinks and purples 
Peaches and white.
Red roses reaching

Greenery 

Hands 
Twisting and turning 
Bouquets are forming.
A palette on the floor 






Ribbons are twisting  
Paper is crinkling 
Water is flowing 
Vases are glowing. 





Happy Galentine’s Day!





And
I love you!

Icicles….





Ice moves
Ice shifts.

Temperatures rise
Moods lift.

Ice forms
Ice shapes.

Songs song
Music taped.

Ice freezes
Ice makes.

Jack Frost on Windows
Icing on cakes.

Ice shard
Ice guard.

The earth is frozen
The ground is hard.

Ice falls
Ice chips.

Dirt becomes mud
When the ice begins to drip.

Ice melts 
Ice drips.

The paper cup
It rips.

	


	



			
				


			

			
Happy birthday, Ben
		
	
	

		
















Happy birthday, Ben!
I'll love you forever 
and then
I'll love you all over 
again!

You just turned 
two!
You have so much 
to do!

Trucks to watch.
Drums to bang.
Books to read,
again and again. 

Soon, you'll learn
to put on your  shoe 
and jump in a puddle 
right on cue.

You'll laugh 
and you'll hop,
and when someone asks,
you won't stop!

You'll grow, 
and you'll learn.
You'll become 
a growing concern. 

And everyday from now
til well past 92
always remember 
That, I LOVE YOU!!!!
