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.
Tag: look
Deer
There was a deer standing
In our front yard. It did not
Move. It looked us and
Walked away.
Mountain
Look and see how tall
That mountain is ahead
Of you. Pretty imposing,
Isn’t it? You can climb
That mountain if you just
Put one foot in front of
The other.
Help
Sometimes we all
Need help. We look
In all sorts of places
And talk to people
That we can trust.
But when you get
Right down to it, the
Foolproof source of
Help is from God–
Take it to the Lord
In prayer.
“Give all your worries and cares to God,
for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT).
Top Floor
The view from the
Top floor is always
Breathtaking. The
Elevator sends us
Up at a dizzying
Speed. The view
Makes the street
Level look like an
Ant colony. An
Occasional cloud
Drifts by the
window.
Every Cat
Every cat needs attention
Even though they act
Standoffish. They will
Sit and stare at you for
Minutes at a time and
When you reach down
To pet them they swat
At you. But when they
Want something they’ll
Rub against your leg
And purr.
Monkey Ship
When we were kids we
Used to go to the zoo
And look at the animals.
One of our favorites
Was a boat in the center
Of a pool of water. It
Must have had fifteen
Monkeys on board,
Probably wishing they
Knew how to swim.
Unexpected
I don’t know why it happens,
But out of the blue
Life slaps me in the face
With a wet tamale,
And it all comes back to me,
Even your look.
Hair
People fuss about my hair.
They say it’s to long, get a
Haircut. But I say I am a
Poet and I want too grow
My hair long. It’s part of
The image. The last thing
I want to look like is a
Fricking businessman.
Sunrise
When you wake up and
Look out the window
And see the sunrise, it
Makes your heart swell
With eagerness to get
Started on the day.
Sunrises explode with
Beautiful colors that
Stay in the mind all
Day long.
