A street portrait artist
Made his living sketching
Portraits of people who
Would agree to sit with
Him. He barely eked out
A living doing what he
Loved. People loved the
Street artist.

Yellow Submarine
One day the citizens of a
Small town were shocked
To find a bright yellow
Submarine lying on Main
Street. It just appeared
Overnight, full size, water
Dripping from it. Downtown
Shops were sure their
Businesses were going to
Take a nose dive.
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.
Hold Up
One night I was walking
Down a dark street. A
Masked man held me
Up at gunpoint. I
Turned my pockets
Inside out to show I
Didn’t have anything.
And he stole my pants.
Jogging in a Blizzard
A jogger who has jogged long
Enough won’t miss a day come
Hell or high water. Today we
Were having a blizzard. The
Snow was falling rapidly.
I decided to take up the
Challenge. After putting on
Double layers of sweat pants
And sweat shirts, a head
Covering and gloves, I stepped
Out of my toasty house.
There was no traffic that night,
So I jogged down the middle
Of the street, snow crunching
With each step.
White soft flakes filled the air,
Melting after hitting my warm
Face. It was a magical winter
Wonderland.
