When I was in second grade my aunt gave me a little book of poems called, “A Child’s Garden of Verses” written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was one of my gifts that didn’t interest me much so I put it on the shelf in my room and never gave it another thought for many months. I can’t tell you how much time had passed before I discovered the little blue book on my shelf and decided to open it up. I loved the poems and read them often. I was always rhyming things in my head as a child but never wrote things down. Now I'm writing them down and have a poetry website.

She said my grandma's life has come to an end
My grandma lived so many miles and states away
I tried to get her to move, she said it's here I'll stay


There was a time the farm was pretty nice
In my...

The Cat On The Road

It seems I have been dumped off in the middle of the night          
Alone on this road I'm wondering what will be my plight
Could it have been that I scratch up the stair railing      
I noticed lately the misters affection for me was failing...

Cooked Goose

You know the old saying your goose is cooked
Whenever I hear that I really get shooked
I hear there's some truth to that nasty old saying
I'm valuable because of the many eggs I keep laying

You have to learn how to run really fast
If you...
