All Poems Copywrited 2000






Flower
June 13, 1997

Petals of yellow
Leaves of green
Shaped like a star
It’s so easily seen

As bright as the sun
It stares towards the light
Fearing nothing
Except for the night

When darkness falls
This flower sure hides
It closes right up
Locks its beauty inside

But when the sun begins to rise
It’s petals become unstuck
The world stares upon it
This flower brings good luck



Our Worst Enemy
March 3, 1997

Flood water rise above the barriers
Hurricanes destroy cities and towns
Lightning sets homes on fire
Tornadoes throw trailer houses
This is nature
This is natures planet
We are at war
Humans are trying to kill nature
But it is to powerful
It will destroy up
The rivers will rise and drown our cities
Hurricanes will spin and tear up homes
Lightning will strike and burn our towns
Tornadoes will form and kill our families
Nothing can stop it
This is our worst enemy



The Family
January 8, 1997

Eyes as bright as the sun
Teeth as white s snow
Fur as soft as silk
Claws as sharp as knives
She watches over her babies
Waiting to attack at the sound of danger
A tree branch snaps
Her ears perk up
Silence is all that is heard
A creature scurries across the ground
Her fur rises in anger and fear
A familiar sound is heard
He has made it back to the den
A mighty dinner he has brought with him
Her worries have left her
The babies cry so they’ll get fed
The parents serve them dinner
Everyone is settled now
The night falls over their house
The family sleeps silently



Snowflakes
December 17, 1996

Each one is different
Perfect in its own way
Floating slowly
Down to Earth
Softly it lands
With others upon it
Pilling up slowly
Until there is a blanket
Of white covering
Up the earth



Twister
October 22, 1996

Destroying everything it sees
It doesn’t even care
It hits one house
And misses another
It kills this child
And only frightens another
Why?
It doesn’t have a heart
Only a devil’s soul
Killing what it wants
Stopping the unstoppable
Fearing the fearless
It is a murderous beast
It howls like a wolf at midnight
It stays only a few seconds
But in that time
It can destroy things that
Took years to create
Your home
Your family
Your friends
Your whole life
Sucked up by the spinning devil
It is just one of natures murderers



Flowers
1995

A precious petunia
A radiant rose
A darling daffodil
A gorgeous geranium
A dandy daisy
A vivid violet



The Tree
1995

It is born, as we are born
It lives, as we live
It breathes, as we breathe
It grows, as we grow
It needs food, as we need food
It needs friends, as we need friends
It has enemies, as we have enemies
It needs love, as we need love
It feels pain, as we feel pain
It dies, as we will die
