Poems/Short Stories
Here you will find pieces I snipped from some of my completed poems and short stories. Just a sliver for now to wet your ageless brow except for the Frog Eyes poem, which is complete.
Frog Eyes
There once was a frog
that had four eyes
he saw in front of himself and behind
His name of Four Eyes
was no surprise
the two-eyed frogs were unkind
He met someone
who showed him fun
she was a she
told him by one
He never saw the same four eyes
upon a frog, nor mate, no lie
A friend they became
they felt the same
together they were eight, oh my.
A Sloth is a Sloth
I'm so tired
Let's go to bed
To himself he said
It's time to refresh
My weary head
A Birthday Invention
Grandpa's eyes twinkled as he gazed at the invention from Billy. Billy was eight. Grandpa was very proud of his grandson. Billy disassembled leftover scraps of discarded materials from the household and turned them into something useful. He once made a napkin holder for his mom, and a wooden box with a lid that he painted and decorated with stickers and emblems to store the things he treasured which he kept under his bed. Billy walked forward and put his gift into Grandpa's hands. "Billy, you are a true inventor. How did you ever make such a wonderful cane?"
