Some people are like
Roses that were afraid
To bloom but should
Have bloomed. And it
Is as if the sun became
Disgusted with waiting.

Going to the Dentist
Nobody looks forward to going
To the dentist. They are afraid
The dentist will find cavities
And have to numb their gums
And drill their tooth and hear
That high pitched drill that
Makes you grip the armrest
For dear life. After it’s over
Your jaw is so numb you can
Hardly talk. And you leave
The office thinking never
Again.
Skeletons in the Closet
Most people have dirty little
Secrets that they hope no one
Ever finds out about. They can
Hear the rattling in the closet to
Remind them that they are still
There. That person constantly
Fears the skeletons will jump
Out of the closet and start
Talking.
Jumping Frogs
One day a friend of mine
And I decided to go fishing.
We packed our fishing
Gear and food to last most
Of the day. We began to
Fish from the bank when
We heard a rustling noise
In the brush around us.
Suddenly hundreds of
Jumping frogs as big
As cats came straight
For us. They looked
Carniverous, and had
Huge red sticky tongues.
We were so afraid that
We ran off and left our
Fishing gear.
Fairies
One morning a little boy
Was playing in his front
Yard and decided to wander
Around through his mother’s
Rose bushes
A little person with wings
Flew in front of him and
Was joined by a few other
Of the tiny fairies
They did not seem to be
Afraid of him and he was not
Afraid of them watching them
Gracefully fly among the roses
