Sassy is a beagle hound Nice little dog to have around. Chasing rabbits, her favorite play Running, barking all the way. She will swim the small lagoon Tracking down an island coon.

I loved it all My mother's smile Dad's smelly feet The wet lick of my dog My teacher who wore Chanel perfume I loved it all My first school dance A stolen kiss Riding with the top down Our school championship team I loved it all College graduation Love at first sight A white bridal veil A toast to the future I loved it all
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When it rains: 68 of 181

The wind blew hot gusty droughts of air across the fields. Sand lifted from arund the grass tufts and felt like needles on our skin The sky was black with clouds of water but not willing to share a singe drop. Thirsty plants held up their branches reaching out for water Birds chirped louder and louder trying to be heard abov...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Mother Nature: 44 of 110

Th program for ecology is the going fashion "Do gooders" do their thing with vevre and passion. I dig all the rules to preserve mother nature and approved when they put it into legislature.

You've heard about the flying fish you see out in the ocean A sail fish jumps and shakes like poetry in motion. But what I think is pretty cool The mullet jump right out of school.
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Laughing: 15 of 22

Ho! Ho! Ho! Is the the best laugh I know. Laughing is funny If it doesn't cost money. We welcome it now and then.
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Water: 44 of 64

Water, water, where art thou? Just enought to wet the towel. Pray for rain to fill the well Use scented soap to kill the smell. An ocean full, not a drop to drink. Salt water fills the kitchen sink. We'd like to know that the grass we're mowing Is ahead of the algae in the toilet tank growing. Take our time in the tub soakin...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Retirement: 17 of 21

We found a paradise sublime A quiet place to finish out our time. A small lagoon where the fish jump about and now and then, I might even catch a trout. Sunshine days, flowers, and trees the quiet accented by the buzzing bees. Star studded nights as I can lie in bed With happy thoughts in my head. When all of a sudden I am a...
