Life comes from the sun.
Its life giving rays bathe
The earth and everything
From tadpoles to mighty
Trees hundreds of feet
Tall. Civilizations in the
Past used to worship
The sun.

Yellow Camel
The suburbs are known
For their blandness and
Routine sameness. People
Go to work, come home,
Kids go to school, come
Home. One day the reality
Was shattered when the
Workers going to work
Found a yellow camel
In the middle of the
Road. CNN, ABC,CBS
Were all there to cover
The story.
It Doesn’t Matter
What matters and what
Doesn’t is a big item on
The minds of most people.
It’s something a lot of
People lay awake nights
Mulling over. Then it
Becomes clear to them–
They can finally sleep by
Counting sheep.
The Octopus
A deep sea creature that
Shoots its self along by
Jets of water. When
Threat comes from
Enemies it squirts jets
Of ink for camouflage.
It captures its food with
Its tentacles. A king of
The deep.
Autumn
It’s getting cooler, the leaves
Are changing into vibrant colors.
Time to stoke the fire in the
Fireplace. And to enjoy a mug of
Hot chocolate, thinking about
The fast approaching holidays.
Thunderstorms
One of those days to
Stay in — brilliant bolts
Of lightening uncover
Everything. The thunder
Shakes God’s creatures
Large and small. To
Finish it off come the
Torrential rains washing
Away the evil.
Beautiful Lady
Her beautiful sweet smile is
The first and last thing that
Comes to mind every day
This lady is making me smile
Because this is true love

George is a quiet fellow.
George is a cactus.
You can’t shake hands
With him because of
His prickly spines.
We just sit and look
At each other. He’s
Low maintenance,
A little water every
Couple of weeks.
George would like
Some friends.
Car of Idiots
Every once in a while you
See them out on the streets.
The car is packed full of
People with goofball looks.
They hang their legs out of
The car windows and cruise
Around and around singing
Off-key songs to blaring
Music. It’s been said they
May have come from
Another planet–of Goofs.
Precious Moments
A newborn baby smiling
A sunny day during frigid temps
An elderly couple gently
holding hands
A young bride and groom
nervously saying their I dos
And good ole life itself
