I have faith in every American, white and black
Will be united into a new brotherhood
Where we walk as one

I have faith in every American, white and black
Will see all as equal citizens
Free in our country

I have faith in every American, white and black
Will come to realize
We cannot walk alone

I have faith in every American, white and black
... we cannot turn back
I made this poem out of words from my favorite speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
If anyone happens to find this poem offensive I am sorry.
One swing
another swing
thud,
you fall to the ground
lifeless you lay
not making a sound
as I wipe the blood from my face
I think
why did things turn out like this
and what have I done
oh Ellie
oh Ellie
I miss you so
I miss you more
than you will ever know
I miss your company
and playing in the snow
going on walks
and just having nice talks
when it was time to lay our heads
you would get in my bed
and I felt your
marshmallow soft fur
and your hot sandpaper tongue
licking my cheek
you were just so young
gentle and sweet
but then came that
sorrowful week when
you were killed
which made the world
weep
I will never forget you
Dedicated to my dog Ellie who got hit by a car two years ago
Across my room I spy my cat,
proudly looking out her window,
watching over her kingdom.

She gives a challenging glare to those get rid of one of these who oppose her kingdom,
high stands my little black cat,
perched gracefully in her window.

Strong bright eyes wait for the sun to rise out her window,
in her glorious beautiful kingdom,
another exciting day in the land ruled by a cat.

Little do the people know they are in a kingdom ruled by my cat in the window.
Dedicated to my cat Piwacket who is always looking out of my bedroom window.
I’m a Victorian doll
with my hair in curls
I will make you
turn and stare
wearing a dress
colored royal blue
embroidered with
diamonds and pearls
look at me
look at me
one and all come and see
the most beautiful doll
in the world
the wonderful beautiful me
