Tennis

A toss of the ball
A swing of the raquet
The pop as it flys of the strings

The bounce of the ball
As it hits the clay courts
And seeing it fly back to me

The forehand
The backhand
The volley and serve

The alleys
The net
The base line and net posts

All come together
When you play one game
Tennis, the game I play

You Left Before I Had The Time

You left before I had the time
to say the things that were on my mind
If you were ever to come back
I'd make sure to say them in a snap
Because you came and left me
In such a rush
I'd be afraid
That you would leave before I had the time
To say the things that were on my mind

A Snowy Forest

The jingle of harness bells,breaking
and adding to the silence
awaken the forest on a snowy evening

The birds that have just settled down
in the warm comfort of their homes
awaken with an angry shriek

The deer bolt gracefully away
into the cover of the
frost covered pine trees

A fox peeks out of his burrow
to see what all the commotion
is about

A sleigh rides by
the harness bells jingeling
A man winks at the fox
who quickly goes back into his burrow

IDK help me with one

Surely you knew I existed
Surley you knew I was there
Then why did you always ignore me
Even when you said you cared

We were perfect for each other
Thats what all my friends said
I agreed with them
But I guess you didn't

You used to love me
Or at least thats what you told me
It was a joke to you all along
Why couldn't I see?

So now things are different
I have no one to love
If you ever came back
We could fly like a dove

Waiting

Here I wait
Swaying with the gentle breeze
A sweet smell fills the air
All around me
I wait

Bees come buzzing by
And take pollen from
The many flowers
I wait

All is still
Not a cricket chirps
Or a bird sings
I wait

Slowly the sun
Starts to rise
Bathing everything in
A pink and orange glow
I still wait

The sun is rising higher
The crickets start to chirp
And the birds start to sing
Everything comes alive
My wait is over

Leaving Me

The day you left I will always remember
I'll remember how akward it was between the two of us
The way you shuffled your feet and held your hands together
How you couldn't quite say what you wanted to say
How I never found out why you left me
I'll always wonder why

I also remember the way we used to be
Laughing at each others jokes
Asking non-important questions just to hear the others voice
Sitting, holding hands, and always staring into each others eyes
I'll rember the way you huged me
Whenever we had to part ways
Wishing that we could have more time together

I wish you hadn't left me
But I guess it was for the best
Maybe one day
Things could go back to
The way they used to be

Work in Progress

The most difficult of the dinner parties i ruin are usually around Christmas. Ann and Ryan lock me in the attic so i won't get into mischief while they are preocupied with their guests. It is very dull and boring up in the attic, and the only company I have is the lone rat or spider. I like to be involved in the dinner partys as well so I slide open the window and drop down onto the roof below. Once there, i can slide in through Ann and Ryans bedroom window and make my way down to the living room. They guests stare at me as i walk by. I am used to this by now, but when i first started my career as a dinner party ruiner, i felt very offended. It was like they had never seen a dog before. To be continued.......

Is There A Reason

I wonder why everything dies
And starts a new beginning all the time

Why do i get a hole in my heart
As the person i love slips away

When my heart starts to ache
And the tears start to fall

You'll know I'm feeling saddness
In my heart right now

Just tell me it's ok
And that everything will be alright

And tommarow will come
In a whole new way

All You Need Is Love

Some say love should be cherished and adored
He O Shakespear wrote about love and swords
As Shakespear said, the course of true love never did run smooth
Keep that in mind and you will be moved
Extract all your thoughts that say love should be neglected
Sometimes love can cause things that are very unexpected
People dote on each other for many reasons
Expect many things during each love season
Always pay the closest attention
Remember that emotions are important when it comes to affection
Expect devotion and romance when you are in love BECAUSE......
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!!

The Hidden Jewels of Ellesmera

A twig snapped. Sulphur whipped around and his golden eyes pierced the darkness, looking for the source of the noise. Brazzle spread her wings and circled above him, searching as well. All was still. Not a leaf swayed of a bush rustle. A cockroach darted out from behind a bush and Sulphur crushed it with his large talon. Suddenly, a cry pierced the night air not to far away. "Brazzle get down here now, they found us!", Sulphur cried. Brazzle dove out of the sky headed straight for Sulphur. She landed on his back and folded her wings tightly to her sides. Her oak colored eyes were alert and darting around. "Hold on tight", Sulphur said as he prepared to take off. Brazzle dug her talons into Sulphur’s back, but he couldn’t feel it because of his tough, golden, dragon scales. Sulphur dug his back talons into the dirt and shot into the air. "How did they find us, we left no trail?", Sulphur yelled above the whipping wind. "I don’t know. They must have brought Fundor and Beroan." Brazzle yelled back. "You mean those Sinistra? I hear they have....." Sulphur was cut short as a briarwood arrow whizzed past his head. "They’re shooting!" Brazzle screamed. "We must take shelter within the trees!" Sulphur went into a dive. Right before they hit the trees Sulphur was hit by an arrow that pierced his heart.

Butterfly Wings

Butterfly Wings
Glistening in the sweet sunlight,
Flapping up and down maliciously
Bright streams of spirited colors flashing this way and that
North, South, East, West
Grace and beauty are blessed upon these
As they depart from one flower to the next
Its radiant design pulls it all together
Butterfly Wings

Beachalicious Perfection

The perfect day would be….

Running through the hot sand
Having it run between my toes

The sun warming my face as I run to and fro
The smell of the salty sea , the waves beating
Against the rocky beach, never ceasing

A sandcastle tournament, girls against boys
The sand sticking to every part of us

Boat rides and cheesy fries
The juiciest watermelon you’ve ever tasted
The juices dribbling down my chin

Watching for a spout of water
To come shooting out of the sand
Knowing somewhere, buried deep
A clam has been disturbed

Finally, going home, feeling satisfied
Knowing that tomorrow will be just as perfect
