Blue Sky

Blue Sky Presented a perfect day Where people, birds and animals Enjoyed it their way ~ In the clear, warm breeze The leaves softly applauded As the bees hummed a hymn The flower heads nodded ~ At the perfect day Brought by Blue Sky Who quickly took notice As fair-weather clouds passed by ~ They… Read More Blue Sky

Heckler

Photo thanks to my hubby AJ Collette   Known simply as Heckler More than any other name Tossing out insults Was indeed his favorite game ~ Early each morning At the crack of dawn He finds the highest tree top To look down upon ~ The comings and goings The antics of them all He… Read More Heckler

Callie

It’s hard to hear your history And keep a dry eye But now that we know you Inside, mischief resides ~ Gone are the days Of prowling the Texas streets Now you have food, toys And are hand fed your treats ~ You’re a sweet companion Always wanting to please With a gentle personality That puts… Read More Callie

Herman

“Herman, cut your hair!” Echoed through the grove If he’d heard it once or 1,000 times Herman surely did not know ~ He rather liked the way his hair fell Conveniently obscuring his face From his overbearing mother Whose branches crowded his space ~ Yet each time the wind blew Herman let down his hair… Read More Herman

Gossip and Goodwill

Could’ve, Would’ve, Should’ve

There’s magic In the could’ve been Because a fairytale Never has to end ~ It’s unfortunate For the would’ve been Because circumstance Kept them asking when ~ It’s tragic For the should’ve been Because what was meant to be Ended then ~ Could’ve, Would’ve, Should’ve May be moments of regret But each are better lessons… Read More Could’ve, Would’ve, Should’ve

Open Book

If life were an open book How would your story go Would there be villains and heroes Or no battles to show ~ Would your world be filled with flowers Beautiful and pristine Or would litter clog the gutters On your boulevard of dreams ~ Protagonist or antagonist What would you call yourself Would there… Read More Open Book

Favorites and Fools

Peering into the vastness What does Sun see A troupe of planets All longing for she ~ To share her warmth And spread her light For with her blessing Comes new life ~ But is she fickle Playing favorites and fools Promising the universe Before changing the rules
