I have a snake
That slithers and slides.

So green in the grass —
It's easy to hide.

Today is his birthday,
I made him a cake.

Happy birthday to Sammy,
My slithering snake
More kid poems. I need 25, I wrote 10. Wish me luck!
I put my old cat up on a cow.
I had to reach up high.

The cow went moo,  
my kitty flew.  

I didn't know that cats could fly.
Another poem for my kids activity book that I'm writing.
"A girl and boy went for a walk. The walk turned into a race. The girl won, but it's okay—the boy took second place."
I decided to write an early reader coloring book and word search.  I teach  K-8 and I really think my lack of maturity gives me an edge.
Beans and greens
And flying machines

Mystical unicorns everywhere
Colors bouncing here and there

More sane than the flippin world right now

Dreams are my salvation so
I sleep and let my visions flow

To wake,  to cry, with heavy heart
The world I know is split apart

All I can do is
Hope and pray

The world doesn't end this way!

Apologies and love for all!
I miss believing that we were past most of the cruelty and hate in the world.  So sad. I hope we make it.
Let me live
Let me smile
Oh and Cry just a while
As the sun sets
And warmth fades away

Let me run
Let me swim
In emotions, some Grim
As the child
Embraces the day

Let me fade
Let me fall
At the end of it all
Knowing love
Every step of the way

On the other side of the bullet
You hope the crooked road to straighten

I fear the fog remains
With path unclear

Fix it here
Or
Fix it there

My prayer for you
Seek help here
