Feline musings
The summer sun hits my eyes Closing them, I smile A rumble fills my chest As my pet provides the lap upon which I perch Blinking, I survey my kingdom It will do, For now Irritating subjects surround me But they have their uses The small ones act so silly sometimes, As if they were…

Rain dance
Halfway through another week, But my brain won’t stop racing. Full of my list and my have to’s While I dream of everything I’d rather be doing. They say life is what happens while you’re making other plans But I’ve been trying harder to live each day to the fullest To hold my children tight…

The beach
Summer sun beat down As their squeals rang out Sand in the sandwiches And ants in their pants They frolicked the way Only children can Sand building castles Majestic and temporary Splashing with their compatriots As they stormed the shores With life jackets and inflatable boats Water too cold to swim long They dashed in…

Creation
