Poems Aplenty
A Day at the Fair
A day at the fair,
I wish I could spend.
I’d eat cotton candy,
then eat it again!
.
The merry-go-round
is most enticing.
I’d jump on a horse
and enjoy the riding!
.
I’d throw darts at balloons
for a prize that is free.
Since I’d be alone,
it’d be just for me!
.
There are many more things
I’d like to do;
but the day stays not long
and I’d never be through!
A Stack of Gold
If only I could find gold.
Then how happy I'd be.
For all that I wanted, I’d get
and I’d be a much happier me.
.
Now that I’ve found my gold,
I strangely feel much the same.
What I thought would make me happy
turned my greed into shame.
.
I chose to share with others,
the stack of gold I had found.
Amazingly the shame disappeared
and the gold in my heart did abound.
A Walk in the Waves
The sun was hot, the waves curled.
He walked the beach with his girl.
Their hands were held, their lips smiled.
They thought to walk in the waves, awhile.
.
The two tossed their shoes aside
and splashed into the waiting tide.
The ocean, then, did welcome them;
as they walked in the waves, once again.
Perilous
The storm, on the sea,
was merciless.
The ship was afloat
but the outlook, perilous.
.
Twas no hope
for escaping it.
The rowboats would sink
at the weight of it.
.
All hope seemed gone
but quickly reappeared,
when rescue copters
overhead did appear.
The Smallest Fairy
Twirling through the air,
the smallest of fairies flew.
To fly above the ground
was all that she could do.
She longed to fly high
like the others twinkling round.
Up in the sky she’d fly
spreading sprinkles all around.
Under the Bridge
Under the bridge
flowed the river
that watered the moss
planted in soil
that covered the EARTH
that is under the soil
under the moss
watered by the river
under the bridge.
