The Angel I Know

November 30, 2011 Leave a comment

She    had    the    skin    of    cotton    soft.
Her    eyes    were    truth.
And    her    hair    as    white    as    snow.
She    sent    to    me    I    know.
When    I    was    with    her,
there    was    so    much    peace.
I    know    God    sent    this    angel    to    me.

Country Love Song

November 29, 2011 Leave a comment

Please    not    another    country    love    song    on    the    radio
reminding    me    of    how    much    you    did    me    wrong,
when    you    didn’t    treat    me    right.
That’s    it.
Turn    it    off,    the    radio.
I    believe    you    got    what    you    deserved
when    I    took    off    with    the    cat    and    dog,
and    left    in    the    Chevy    truck.
Too    bad    now.
You’re    sitting    and    crying.
Well,    turn    off    the    radio    cause    I’m    gone.
I    didn’t    leave    no    change    of    address.
Sorry    I’m    not    coming    back.
Let    me    know    when    you    find    God
because    I’ve    turned    off    the    radio.

I have a map
on my lap
I sit on the cat
it was flat!
I put on my tie
and try to fly!

In the backyard

In the backyard
I sit in my favorite chair.
I see the tree sitting in the sun.
Green, brown, round, soft and hard,
wood and leaves making sweet
apples.
Buzzzzzzz!
Smells like honey.
Tastes like a delicious, sticky treat.
I will help the bees make more honey by
planting flowers everywhere!

Cars that travel 10,000 mph
My grandma not smoking
The sky turning brown
The sky falling
Glass airplanes
Having heat vision eyesight
Fruits growing legs and walking
34 inch 84 swangaz
Rainbows with pots of gold at the end of them
Walking on sunshine
Demetres
