Just the Way You Are
Just the Way You Are Wearied, not broken Alone, not forsaken It may seem that Satan has won the battle But God has won the war! That sniveling snake whispers falsehoods and lies Never will you be enough Never will you be smart enough, strong enough Resist, pull away Remember God made you, God loves … Continue reading Just the Way You Are
Tomayto or Tomahto
I could be my Mama's drama llama in pajamas, Or an Alabama panorama with my banana pajamas, Or maybe I'm an aunt from Vermont with a want for some fonts, But instead I see an aunt who just can't seem to plant Her potatoes 'cause tornados keep on ruining her volcanoes. Or maybe her potatoes … Continue reading Tomayto or Tomahto
She Has Left Me
I loved her and thought she loved me, But that is now no more. She has left me ne’er to return, But wait-there’s something at the door It is a shadow-the shadow of my grief. And to me it continuously clings. It scorns and laughs at all my pain, And my heart, its dark deeply … Continue reading She Has Left Me
One Hundred Tales
Some tales tower to the clouds; Some are simply sweet. Some have lengths that stretch so far, None could ever reach. Some tales are staccato short; Some breathe mystery. Some find depth inside the heart; Some make history. Some tales speak of shining suns, Some still of tragedy. Some speak of adventures: Of knights, lords, … Continue reading One Hundred Tales

Water crashes down the cliffs Into the stony depths. - Atop the rippled lake it rests, Floating along in grace. Dipping, silent, … Continue reading Different
Pencils and Other Poetry
For Mrs. Rogers, who spent so much of her time making these poems possible. Pencils Sharp, long and new- Many things to do. Cherished, used and old- Lovely as gold. - Waterfall As it dances in the light The trees sigh with delight. It sparkles and glitters Like birds in a titter. - The Bed … Continue reading Pencils and Other Poetry
Treasure
Away beyond the realms we know There lies a secret no one owns Waiting for a treasure-seeker To come and claim it as its keeper. - It holds a mystery inside its locks Its dark wood makes it only a box To the unknowing soul of the one who finds The treasure, never to be … Continue reading Treasure
The Solitary Raven
The sharp pitch of raven’s cry Penetrates my heart. The far-off cry ringing silently in my ears Sounding in harsh painful slaps. - The mournful cry of lost love Echoing through the peaks. The silent lilt of dreadful agony Drives tears into the heart. - Wrath’s cold note clutching at my fears Finding depth within. … Continue reading The Solitary Raven
