Cat Bus

I see the bus.
It roars to a stop.
“I need to find my sister Mei”, I say.
It turns its letters to spell Mei.
I sit on the bus with Totoro.
We don’t really talk until it gets to a stop.
We find Mei!
Hooray!
Cat Bus saves the day.
Cat Bus is the best!

Ink

As my quill flashes across the page
I think of sadness and loved ones
Long gone. But there is always hope,
Hope for a better day and a Better World.
So fear not for Love and Light
Shall Triumph and they shall
Raise up the World.

Irish Lore

This is the story of Irish Lore
Tales of Badb, Goddess of War.
Stories alive and stories told
Thrived in days of old
Tales of God across the sky
Tales of Bridget, Queen so high.

These stories will survive in me
Aye, tales of Irish Mythology.
Tales of Sinann, Goddess of the River,
Tales of the Cailleach
That would make ye shiver.

Never forget Finn MacCool and
His mighty Fionna rule.
Macha is the Druid Queen.
Epona eating grass so green.
Do not forsake Rhiannon the brave.
Ye Irish Gods will never behave.

It’s All About Me

It’s all about me
I’m nice and I’m special
I’m cute and I’m kind
They take me to the white house
They probably won’t mind.

I’m nasty I’m mean
I don’t share my toys
Sometimes you will see me
Hurting all the boys

I’m good at math and science
Well kind of I guess
I’d tell you more
But I forgot the rest.

Green

Green smells like fresh cut grass.
Green sounds like a croaking frog.
Green feels like soft, velvety moss.
Green looks like shiny emeralds.
Green makes me go.
Green tastes like a crisp apple.
Green is the color of spring.
Green is renewal.
Green is the color of envy.
Green is a new crayon.
Green is my favorite color.

Trees

Trees have roots
Trees have stems
Trees are beautiful
Just like gems
Trees bring shade and they can be homes
Underneath them can be places where dogs bury bones
Birds build nests in these wondrous plants
Trees bring happiness and are jungle gyms for ants
In this poem you will find
That I love trees of any kind.

Everything but a Cat

My cat is OJ. He is so cute!

The thing is, he isn’t a cat. Or at least he
thinks he isn’t…

He is…
A shoe on the shoe shelf.
Water in the sink.
A friend eating my dinner.

He is…
Trash on the edge of the trash can.
A mountain climber.
An admired table decoration.

He is…
EVERYTHING BUT A CAT!
