Graceful Horses

 Graceful Horses 

We don’t see them every day                                                                                          But they are out there                                                                                                        The graceful horses that we dream about

Elegant manes move with the wind                                                                            As they run across the vast and open plains                                                        Of the beautiful earth

Black beauties race each other                                                                                      Across the field they love so much                                                                              All the while being as graceful as they can be

If only we could be that graceful                                                                                    Dancing through the open fields                                                                                  Being as graceful as the horses are

Bopping Bunnies

   Bopping Bunnies 

Fluffy, furry, cuddly bunnies                                                                                           Like to bop around all day                                                                                                 All around in the sunny day

But if you really watch them closely,                                                                          You see the fun dance in their eyes                                                                            They like to have fun, as do we

The joyful little bunnies bop around                                                                          The floppy, long ears that drag behind                                                                      Tripping up their joyful dance

Can you imagine, though?                                                                                                  Being a bunny that can bop all day                                                                              Just for fun?

If you could be a bopping bunny,                                                                                  What would you give up, everything?                                                                      Would you sacrifice that?

Most people wouldn’t                                                                                                          But when you see a bopping bunny                                                                            Look for the fun that dances in their eyes

Yellow Labs

 Yellow Labs Dedicated to the late Shelby Parker, my yellow labrador   

What do you see when you look at a yellow lab?                                                Is it the pink or black noses?                                                                                            Or that silky yellow coat?

Well, I’ll tell you what I notice                                                                                        I notice the sweetness of their heart                                                                        Or that silliness they try to hide

A yellow lab always carries herself with grace                                                     She walks with poise, but yet cares for others                                                      A yellow lab is a dog that you can count on

Note- Shelby was our yellow labrador, and now we have our goofy Georgia

 

Majestic Pets

 Majestic Pets

Let’s face it, we’ve all seen that pet                                                                              That is the most graceful                                                                                                  So much more majestic than ours                                                                                Only to be ruined by getting wet

Majestic pets are all around                                                                                            Everywhere you turn or look                                                                                          Even floppy-eared basset hounds                                                                              Can be very majestic

Not every pet is born majestic                                                                                        Some learn it, others it depends on the moment                                               To be so graceful in time                                                                                                    And soon enough, to be a majestic animal

Playing with a Dog

 Playing with a Dog

When you play with a dog                                                                                                There is a joy that comes to mind                                                                                While they chew their toy

As they make that silly face                                                                                              You stand there, patiently waiting                                                                              For them to catch their ball

You watch their eyes light up                                                                                          Laser-focused on that ball                                                                                                That is just out of reach

When playtime is through                                                                                                You sit with your dog, who is panting away                                                            Thinking of that fun day you had with them

Wonders in a Cat

 Wonders in a Cat

Cats are wonderful in many ways                                                                                Furry, cuddly and sleepy, as always                                                                            Can’t you see that sea blue in their eyes?                                                                Or that beautiful shade of cream?

Sleeping the day away in their own little world                                                    All curled up in a swirl of fur                                                                                            And it all goes away in a blur                                                                                          All with a content purring sound

Cute little button noses                                                                                                      With glowing eyes in the night                                                                                      Watching silently as it arose                                                                                          Holding on tightly to you with its love

Poetry Quote

“Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is the search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why the go away.” – Carl Sandburg. This poem means to me that poetry is creative. For instance, the quote states that “Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land wanting to fly in the air.” The way he describes that just makes me think about poetry being creative. Part of my interpretation is that he says it in just a creative way, it makes me think that’s what poetry is, talking creatively and really using similes and metaphors. Right there, he uses a metaphor. Throughout the quote he uses metaphors. They’re creative, too. I really like this quote about poetry, and from this I get the point that poetry is creative.
