Melting Ice cream





Melting,sticky ice cream.
Sliding down my arm.
I lap it up like a dog.
On a hot, summer's day.

Flower





There was a little flower.
In a little bower.
It grew big and pretty.
It was loved by everyone, even the kitty.
More flowers grew.
And everyone was happy.

Counting Baby






One, two, three.
Counts the baby.
Four five six.
A lollypop is what she licks.
Five, six, seven.
She looks up at heaven.
Eight, nine, ten.
Let's count again!

Eden




Silvery, slithely,
Slithering snake.
Hissed,"Eat it!"
She walked to the tree.
Evil the snake would make.
She plucked the fruit,
Don't eat it,
Oh no!
He ate it too!
So God banished them.
But.
A whispered promise.
"I will come back for you."
One day, many centuries later,
In a tumble-down stable,
Their rescue came.
A baby.

Koalas





The koala looks like a bear.
I do not care.
That it is actually a marsupial.
They are cute.
A baby one could fit inside my boot.
They eat eucalyptus leaves.
They live in the trees.

Sunset




When the sky is cast in golden.
When there's light upon the stair.
And our hearts begin to bolden.
Over things that are not there.
When the clouds are cast in rose.
I feel the need to speak in prose.
And when the sun shines over the plain.
Shedding golden drops of rain.
And when Mother calls us in.
From the place where we've been.
When the sky is cast in shadow.
When there's black upon the stair.
We go to sleep wondering.
About the gold that was there.

The sea





Rolling and crashing.
Upon the sand.
Rolling and crashing.
Upon my hand.
When I am in the water,
I feel as free as a bird.
Flying in the sky.
The salty wind wathing,
Past his powerful wings.
The salty sea, swathing,
Past the wake in the wind.
