the sea
The soothing sound of the sea with its blue waters meet the sky so cloudless the expanse on high. The wonder of mystry there is; what solace beyond compare. To the cliffs each ravanous wave has bowed, and now comes swirling back beneath an angry clou

Poems from my Youth: (1) - I Live

The rugged bark of an old tree with imperfection due to its cracks is a wondrous thing of beauty and it's the imperfection that attracts We know that a star-shaped flower does not make a perfect star Yet it has a certain loveliness that indu

Rains Under the Storm
Just a thought of the day as I put it to another write. I am sure you all have heard on the news that Illinois was hit with a bad storm on 11/17th/2013 well this is also the town where my young child is at rest since 2007 when he was age 20 who would be turning 27 this next coming month and this same town where his grave & marker is was hit so bad and my thoughts went into another write today.
You lost little flower in wild happiness.
I did this today. It made me feel a little bit lonely while i was writing it, well maybe i'm just a lonely person after all. But i always say to myself every day: I'm happy! So i am and i feel happy most of the time. I wonder if there is a bit of happinees in lonelyness??? I like the possibility that the flower has in the poem, to have the day always around it. Life is day and night. Everybody must rest sometime. Why does the flower have to stay up and does it not need to sleep? It has already built the nest, it still is lost in wild happyness. I could write more here but i wanted it to be just a simple poem but when i think about it..it isn't. With hope you like it :) Foxyfairy.
Once upon a time
I wrote today because we got a lot of snow in Ohio.

In Defense Of The Rain
Some folks like to complain And are very fickle They fume when rain is falling And fret at a mere drizzle Wild birds and animals They all need the rain Which gives them water For their lives to sustain The plants and the trees And all th
A Flower - Children's Poem
I wrote this poem for my nephew's eight year old daughter to encourage her to write poetry. She has an excellent command of English at her age. Writing this made me recall some of the poems I learned at school as a child. I hope I have succeeded, at least to some extent, in capturing the innocence and joyful feeling of childhood. I also hope it would bring out the child in some of you; I would like your comments from such a perspective since this is a children's poem. Or perhaps you can share it with children, get their comments and post them. Thank you!
