Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp?
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered Heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did He who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

The sun is shining through the trees
Tiny rain-washed bluebells
Are growing at my feet
Birds are calling to each other
Moss is growing on the ground
And lichen on the trunks of trees
Dappled sunshine lights my path
Ferns are showing off their green lace
And dewdrops are sparkling on the grass
While the sky couldn't be a bluer sapphire hue
A path of cherry blossoms in bloom
Tower overhead
Their sweet fragrance dancing on the breeze
A circle of mushrooms
Is where the Fairies dance each night
That is where I dance too
Today is such a lovely day
Spent in my enchanted Woodland

*~Marian~

Sometimes I Wish Trees
Were People
That Way I Could Sit
In Their Boughs
And They Could Dry
My Tears Away With Their Leaves

Just Three More Days To Wait
And It Shall Be My Birthday
I Am So Very Excited And Eager
For That Day To Roll Around
Birthdays Have Me Excited
And Mine Is No Exception
I Cannot Wait For The Fun
And The Excitement Is Intensifying
With Every Count Down Poem I Type
Why Is It My Birthday Has Me So Excited?
My Thoughts Are Flowing Like Driftwood
Onto The White--Blank Paper
My Birthday Is Almost Here
And Butterflies Are Dancing
Right Inside My Stomach
Excitement Is Intensifying
And So Is My Curiosity

*~Marian~

Time like a grain
Of sand on a pretty beach,
Time is like a sea!

The hourglass of sand,
Measures every grain of
Time like a ruler!

Time like a mighty
Ocean of eternity
That goes on always!

Time comes and goes fast,
Yet it is very endless,
Time goes away fast!

Time goes on always,
Like a once forgotten dream,
That comes back and haunts!

Time is eternity,
That goes on forever and
Always until death!

*~Marian~

She will always be my sweet sister, Hilda pretty and fair,
Daintily seated on her chair.
She is like a wild rose blooming on a coast,
For I will always love Hilda the most!
She is like a Summer morning the birds mistake her for it,
Cross is she? Rarely even a bit.
There she sits pretty on the lea,
She is quite a fond treasure for me.
I love her so much,
I would love to buy her pretty things and such.
Beauty always stays with her,
And never does it cur.
I love you, Hilda dear,
And so glad am I that with me you can stay all the year!!

~Marian~

I am so happy that you're my Daddy,
I sincerely love you my little laddie!
I really love do love you,
My love for you is true.

I hope you know how much I love you,
My love for you is true!

Even though we tease each other,
And I pretend you're my little brother,
We love each other!

It'll stay this way forever,
Will we hate each other?
No, never.

     *Marian

Why art thou so sad, dear Daddy?
I makes me sad to see you this way, little laddie,
He writes about sad and gloom,
It makes me want to escape to my room.

It may not be so bad,
But still to see him writing about death makes me sad,
I write about light, sunshine, and sunrays;
While he writes about funreals, knells and lays.

Cheer up, dear Daddy,
There is still sunshine, little laddie,
There is sunshine for you;
Under skies of royal blue!

*~Marian~

Today is cloudy
No sunshine to look upon
Farewell the blue sky

You watched your best friend suffer,
You took it worse than us- a lot more tougher,
Please for our sake hold on tighter;
See things a lot more brighter.

I understand how you feel bad,
How you feel deppressed not sad,
I miss him too;
He cheered us up when we felt blue.

He played with you and teased you like a brother,
And my Mamma felt like to him she was his Mother,
It makes us feel bad too;
He used to tease us as well as you.

But you must know he went to  God in Heaven,
Even though he has already died October 7,
You watched your best friend suffer;
You took it worse than us a lot more tougher.

It's not the way it used to be,
After him went all of Candy's kittens along with Callie,
I feel scared. . . I don't know and hope no more go next;
It's not like I could shrug it off like a piece of paper with no text.

I don't know what to do,
He cheered us up when we felt blue,
Now we feel sad whenever we think of it;
The event keeps playing in our mind ****** by ****** bit by bit.

He used to in his chair sit,
Now no one in it sits,
It is a sad reminder of him;
We think of these things on whims.

But for our sake don't feel sad,
He'd want you to feel happy not sad,
You watched your best friend suffer;
You took it worse than us- a lot more tougher.

~Marian~

She is very sweet,
I love her so very much,
I love you, Hilda!

*~Marian~

To your song, I dance
Winds so soft and free
To your tune, I sing a song
Mezzo-soprano voice
To your sunshine, I awake
Upon a bed of pine needles
To your melody, I am free
To your voice, I will smile
To your words, I say
Thank you
Even though it seems trivial
And for all you do
I take out my cello
And gently place the bow
Against its trembling strings
'Tis all I can do in return
And softly like the falling rain
I whisper "This is for you"

**~Marian~

You are very strong!
Your leaves are green in Summer,
Tall Tree I love you!

~Marian~

Part One

Tropical Moonlit Nights full of beauty
with the singing lullaby of the waves
such a picturesque Night with twinkling stars
underneath a deep-blue sky
palm trees sway in the summer night breeze
and the hibicus flowers bloom at Night
in the morning the dewdrops kisses their satin cheeks
and the hibiscus flowers smile at the dew
which are like jewels surrounding their beauty
tropical waterfalls surrounded by ferns, moss
and tall majestic palm trees
on the water sits moss-covered stepping stones
and bubbling, flowing, and singing loudly is
the tropical waterfall which holds such infinite beauty
and sometimes when it rains a rainbow the sign of promise
will arch over the waterfall and show off its bright colours
then ever slowly it will fade and pretty soon it is hidden
behind the veil of the sky where it will sleep
then awaken and show itself once more

*~Marian~

I smell it cooking,
The sweet spices greet my nose,
I'd love to eat you!!!

*~Marian~

I see a sunset in the west,
The fishes and turtles under the ocean take their rest,
Palm trees here and there;
The sun is fading in the air.

Royal-blue waves crashing in motion,
A sea turtle peeps up out of the ocean,
The sunset bears shades of red and gold;
Colours so vivid and bold!

The sunrays slant under the bay,
It's nearly the end of a beautiful day,
The sun slants under the sea;
This place is so dear to me!

Four palm trees on a high cliff,
I breathe in the salty-sea all in a surprised sniff,
I heave a sigh;
While on the beautiful island I lie.

One cliff and another one in the distance I see,
What a beautiful treasure to see is the pretty sea,
So beautiful is the day;
No wonder people call this beautiful place Turtle Bay!
