When I was young, there was a song-”when I leave The World Behind”- I’ll leave the sunshine, for the summer- I’ll leave the tree tops, for the breeze, I’ll leave the moon above, for those in love- When I leave the world, behind! I’ll leave the moonlight, for the dreamers, I’ll leave the great ships [...]

She pulled herself out of the water, nails digging into the soggy riverbank, choking on weeds and coughing up the muck from the riverbed. She lay still for a while, long wet tendrils of her dark hair straggling across her face, her fingers embedded into the moss and leaves beneath her. Her jeans, heavy with [...]

1 Present Day It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many [...]

This poem is based on an actual dream that I had. I had a dream the other day, Its vision will not go away, About some people dressed in gowns, (I know how strange this story sounds.) Each gown was separate from the rest, With different colours they were blest, And everyone had points [...]

On rugged mountain roads we drove, And over shaky bridges, Through valleys deep and rivers wide, And over dangerous ridges. We forded rivers, climbed the slopes, Through tunnels we did crawl, We drove on through the rough terrain, And really had a ball. Adventurers are what we were, And danger was the game, And ever [...]

I caught a turtle and a frog, And then I tried to catch a hog, But it would fight and make a squeal, I didn’t know how it would feel. I thought that it would play with me, But it just wanted to be free, To roll around in sloppy mud, I loved this [...]

I’m down in the dirt and I’m scrounging around, I’m looking for mushrooms wherever they’re found, (Oh, look at the pretty pink clouds in the air), I hope that I find a few mushrooms somewhere. I know they are healthy, or so I’ve been told, The ones that are shiny, not covered in mold, (A [...]

I’m five years old, but almost six, My mommy says I’m big, I play outside in lotsa dirt, Because I like to dig. My nana’s name is Granny Smith, She gives me lotsa stuff, My brother’s name is Jason Smith, But he plays really rough. And…um ,um ,um…and…you know what? One time when I was [...]
