Moth

I’m a moth,

Much like a butterfly, but overlooked

Not quite as pretty, and not quite as graceful.

I’m a moth.

I’m a moth,

Simple and plain

Not quite as good.

I’m a moth.

O butterfly I wish I could be

Beautiful and Loved  

Graceful and Cherished.

O butterfly I wish I could be.

I am a moth

overlooked by many but loved by great

Simple and Plain, but strong.

I am a moth.

Driving

With a jolt I slam my foot into the pedal.

The car lurches into motion just as I had wanted.

Wait this isn’t what I planned,

Go forward go forward.

Bam! It hadn't gone how I had wanted.

Turning it to the right gear I pulled my car back up the lane.

Looking back down at the tree,

I saw it laying on the ground looking small

Not off the ground.

The Brick Wall

Tall and towing with shadows so long,

The mighty brick wall won't stand at dawn.

As the morning birds sing their sweet sweet song.

The wall will fall just like a swan.

Money

Green the paper stares back at me

Farther than the eye can see.

It piles up to the rooftops high.

I can not seem to see the sky.

#2

So long and thin

And pointed tip

I wish I had thee in my hand,

For without you I can’t stand.

The path you make so sharp and grey.

I use my pencil everyday.

My Fridge

Hope sharp as day.

I feel it as I go on my way,

For in my fridge I hope to find

My favorite food in a bind.

Betrayal

Walking through the bright green grass.

I walked in the yard with all my sass.

Bonding up to in a halo of light;

Came my puppy to my delight

I raced up to him to ruffle his fur,

And with a jump he came right at me

And sunk his teeth into my arm.

Oh betrayed I had been by my sweet little dog.

Bravery

Creeping and crawling right over my bed.

The eight legged creature was next to my head.

I rolled right to the side and fell with a yell.

Grabbing my shoe, I arose from the floor

And stomped that black spider back onto the ground.

Slipping and Sliding

Slipping and sliding down the dark hall,

I can’t stop to greet you,

for I don’t want to fall.  

I should have stopped to grab a shoe,

But slipping and sliding is fun in the fall.

Swans and Fawns

Graceful and white

Just like a kite.

It came with all it’s spite.

As it was in flight.

It’s eyes landed on it so tiny and small

It looked up with worry and let out a call,

But it had been spotted there was nothing to do

But turn on its haunches and run towards the zoo.

Still the swan came a blanket of white

And that was the end of the chase of might,

For no longer did the fawn fight.

Fish

Swimming in and out

Up and down

The fish came to me

In the sea.
