"karissa" poems
Like a breath of fresh air -
A zephyr, young and fair;
Raven haired, but dyed for flair;
Intense eyes - piercing, bovine stare.
Refreshing intelligence, with wit to match;
Nubile and sensual - Oh, what a catch!
But alas! for this old fool,
All his charms make him appear such a tool!
Sly remarks and innuendo abound;
Even though she's amused, she must be bound
To think, while flattered, that this ****
Is an occupational hazard of a hospitality job.
So this fool shall be content to make her smile
And suppress his profound feelings for the while,
Until the beautiful, youthful flower blossoms, ripe
To be plucked by one with a romantic stripe
And if it be not he who pens this tripe
Then he should be happy and not snipe.
Realising, though broken hearted, that he
Should never have competed for the heart of she
That is destined for success in whatever field she applies
Her dazzling charms and wily smarts, while he cries
For the Valentine he failed to impress
With his basal humour and flirtatious address.

Karissa and Kristy's Fishing Adventure
Bought a princess fishing pole in the Indiana Dunes
Which Karissa had yet to use...
Drove to the Illinois Valley with a plan
Stopped at the farm and saw the fam!
Headed to Lowell, River was closed
We went anyway, nobody knows!!
Nothing was biting, but Karissa caught a leaf!
She thought that was pretty funny, I do beleave...
From there we jumped in the car and headed to deer park
We went to the river area, got lost and almost ended up in the dark!
Don't get me wrong at first we did pretty great...
Walked a while, found the river and caught 8
Just kidding, it was only one
Those fish were too smart, but it was still fun!
They managed to eat the worm and stay away from the hook,
So we decided to try once more and that's all it took!
The fish caught the hook in the eye and I couldn't set it free
So I decided to take it with me!
We started walking and saw some stairs
Thought it was a short cut, but ended up a nightmare
Got lost in the woods for 3 hours with no clue what to do
Karissa was brave, but had her moments... I'm sure I did too!
At one point we went off path and tried to walk to the light
But kept getting poked by “pokeys” and it was too much of a fight
Kev and dad were looking for us
My mom was so worried, she put up a big fuss
She was 10 miles away from calling the State Police
And ditched her ride to the play we were supposed to go to with my neice
We saw lots of running deer
And Karissa tried her best to show no fear
We found a trail that was kinda actually marked
And were more confident that we would make it out by dark
Followed the orange poles and eventually came out
We were on the other side of the park, without a doubt!
Kev came and gave us a ride to the car
Made fun of our fish that was in the worm jar
He said, “Hey Krit, the friggin worm is bigger than the fish!”
and asked if it was worth it?
It was a good day and I have no regrets
Even though we got lost and I broke my camera, it was one of the best!
I LOVE spending time with family and friends,
and always will until the end!

Went to Carbondale to save my friend,
That was the night my life almost came to an end!
Pretty sure my kids saved my life, thank God they were there,
Pulled up to the wrong trailer and almost got shot, now that wasn't fair!
The ***** said get of my f...ing property and I asked if she knew where Kane stayed.
***** said no, so I called him and prayed!
Thank God he answered the phone, that probably helped too
When I got there Lizzy was passed out drunk and that kinda blew!
I realize it was the middle of the night,
But I had to save Lizzy, just knew it was right!
She was out and my kids wide awake,
The next day was fun, we went to the lake!
Southern Illinois is a beautiful place,
But everyone there is crazy and I knew I needed to return to my home base!
Brayden played the bongos and Karissa the tamborine,
Lizzy was so impressed, she gave them a large cuisine!
Brayden was such a mess,
I wondered why I even got him dressed!
We went to the castle park, that was cool though,
Both of my kids were just like "Woah!"
It was good to get back,
And out of that ghetto shack!
I like taking them on adventures,
And I hope they will always remember!
