The ancient Hanson mansion is on fire.
The fire chief brings out the hose.
The flames engulf the house.

The knight battled the fire-breathing dragon
Sword flashing in firelight
Defending the fortress

Do not forget to bring along a map
When taking a long journey
To get where you're going

Sailing
in the bathtub
Water is everywhere
My imagination gets me
More chores

Homework
Soggy and ripped
Fell into a puddle
I cannot turn it in like this
Trouble

pepperoni
don't forget extra cheese
a Friday feast for my family
I'm stuffed

flashing on my left hand
a precious gem from my true love

ten cents
in my pocket
burning a hole there, but
I cannot buy much with ten cents
one dime

Sometimes a quick fix
Does not make for good results
Duct tape doesn't last
Band-aids only hold so long
A rubber band gets brittle

Leave a note for me
Whether you are travelling
To the corner store
Or the city park, even
in a rocket to the moon

Some people make plans
Others act spontaneously
So what do you do?
Are you a plotter-schemer?
Do you take life as it comes?

I think that music
Should be played a medium
Volume...not too loud
When it's turned up all the way
The music is distorted.

A medieval keep
A tower in a castle
Keeping royals safe
Up high above the battle
Still I would feel trapped

My little brother
Didn't want his spaghetti
So he tossed his bowl
Into the air...noodles are
Hanging on the ceiling fan

Last day of Spring Break
I'm back at school tomorrow
I have spring fever
Daylight savings...I can't sleep.
Oh! When will it be summer?

I wish the jumprope
would clear my feet and not just
tangle with my shoes

Rows and rows of feet
Carrying the instruments
in the marching band

Surprise!
 
 
Write a thank you card
To someone who is really
Not expecting it
