A Walk

Going for a walk.
To my son, I like to talk.
Circling like a hawk.
Round and round we go.
Go back and forth, to and fro.
It's a living show.

Goodnight Haiku

Goodnight bright sunlight.
Above you, I read of love.
Goodbye cutie-pie.

"Goodnight! Love you! Buh-bye!"

It's three a.m.

It's three a.m.
And the baby won't sleep.
It's three a.m.
And I want to weep.
Oh why are we awake?
The baby wants to play.
My eyes are sleepy; they ache.
The baby has all to say.
Oh why are we awake?
Yes, why are we awake?

Where's the cold?

Everywhere else it is cold.
The warmth here is getting old.
Everywhere else is getting snow.
To see snow, elsewhere we would need to go.
The snow is exquisite.
Someday we will visit.
But for now, we stay in warm weather.
Sweet cold thoughts my brain will tether.

Paper Cut

Just my luck,
A paper cut.
"Ouch," I cluck.
A bandaid is shut.
The horrid pain
Of a paper scrape
What do you gain?
All for the flavor of grape.

Tug that little asteroid

Tug that little asteroid.
Push it into a void.
Away from the Earth.
For all it is worth.
Collect the riches if we may
And save it for another day.

Cold Wars

Isn't it bold,
For a cold to grow like mold?
It's like a Trojan horse.
I cough Morse code, I sound so hoarse.
It shall be wise,
To hit a giant size pillow, to cause a cold's demise?
These aren't lies.
My white blood cell growth defies.
I am not sold
On this old cold.

Sniffle, sniffle

Nothing like eucalyptus
To help loosen up the mucus.
Achoo...sniffle, sniffle.
Depart thy cold, in a jiffle.

Patience

Burgers and steaks
Make me salivate lakes.
I can't wait, but I'll do what it takes.

All

Doll is new.
Ball is too.
Y'all are at the zoo.
Mall is blue.
Call a cockatoo.
All eat stew.

Progress

I am working on writing another children's book.
Soon you will be able to take a look.
I don't even have time to cook.
It will come in paperback, Kindle, and maybe the nook.

Tired

I write lots each day.
Soon, I'll be inspired.
Today, I'm tired.

Science Saturday: Nebula

In the darkness, the gases surround,
Blocking the bright glittering stars around.
The oranges and blues
Leave behind clues,
Of what use to be.
The loss of such beauty
And organization
Leads to a chaotic and colorful formation.
The particles will reform.
This cycle is the norm.
The stunning result of a stellar blast
Will surely not last.

Food Friday: Oranges

Oranges are fruity and sweet
That one can drink or eat.
They have delicious pulp.
It's good enough to sip every last gulp.
They grow on trees
And fall in the breeze.
Oranges are orange and round.
I like having them around.
They even go well with meat.
That sure is sweet.

Happy Heart Day!

Carnations are red, white, and pink.
Chocolates are brown and white.
These make me think
Of how you make my life bright.
It doesn't matter if you're black, brown, white, alone, married, or gay.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Jack & Bill

Jack and Bill went up the hill,
To show their love is spreading.
Forgetting those whom show ill will,
They have their marvelous wedding.

Productivity

Write something every day.
I hope to finish by May.
Read something too.
Days, I'll work every two.
I'll read and write,
Even at night.
I've more than enough to say.

Math Monday: Multiplication

Four bees times five
Is twenty bees in a hive.
Three times six
Is eighteen comics.
Ten stalks of cauliflower times zero
Is zero, so throw out these veggies and be a hero.
One sun times one
Is one bright yellow sun.
Three times four
I want a dozen donuts more.
One plus one or one times two
Is two humans or me and you.

Product Review Sunday: Leap Frog My Pal Scout

This is an excellent puppy toy
For an eager young boy.
Here, Scout belongs.
He sings good songs.
He teaches colors and sounds.
Put two together and they sing rounds.
He can play a game,
And he knows your child's name.
Scout knows his favorite food to chew,
Along with his animal and color, too.
The puppy helps him spell,
And count very well.
There is even a setting to help put my son to sleep.
This product has high value and is cheap.
Scout makes my son smile.
So, he'll be around awhile.

Science Saturday: The Moon

The moon is that bright light seen at night.
Be seen during the day, it also might.
Some say it is made of cheese.
Perhaps if that was true, it would please.
Though, it is made of rock.
Humans have been on the moon during a spacewalk.
They take long trips to it in spaceships.
The moon can also block sunlight in an eclipse.
It is also the reason for the tides.
From Earth's view, it does not change sides.
The moon does a lot for us.
Having it next to us is a plus.

Food Friday: Mango

Mango is sweet.

It has orange fruit meat.
Its tropical flavor is kind
And it has a tiny yellow-green rind.
It goes well with chicken and fish
Or really any meat dish.
It is good in salsa and hot sauce.
Even in a smoothie, it can be a flavor boss.
Work it into icecream with a frozen stone.
It's even a great snack alone.

Hard Work

Distractions annoy.
Procrastination ahoy.
Hard work leads to joy.

Dude, I chewed mood food.

I read to my redhead instead in his bed.
We took charge of the large margerine barge with Marge.
For kicks, we fix six mixes as the clock ticks.
Late, we wait to open the gate at eight.
It fell as we tell about the smell of the spell we won't quell.
Teeny green trees between
The stars are far from my car.
So high in the sky is why we love pie.

Math Monday: A pizza pi

Connect a round line.
Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine.
On pie we shall dine.

Broken, but not forever

Life is full of people who will hurt you.
They will stomp on your feelings too.
They enjoy power
And making you go sour.
Daily, you are harmed.
Daily, you feel alarmed.
They will not care.
Life is not fair.
Don't let them win.
Protect yourself within.
Don't fade.
Get aid.
Show them that you survive.
You are well and alive.
Your instinct, you must trust.
Move on and leave behind the dust.

Science Saturday: Lightning

We're out on a stroll
And in the clouds roll.
The mean grey puffs are dark.
We're at the park.
The old wood gives Daddy a splinter.
It's been warm this winter.
For a little while, we play.
Up until now, it's been a nice day.
The wind strongly gusts.
Mommy's purse strap busts.
Then, we hear a thunder clap.
I hold onto my cap.
Daddy says we must go now.
The wind whistles and there's a loud pow.
Then we see the bright strings.
Another bang it brings.
Lightning is not safe, says Mummy.
There are butterflies in my tummy.
I'm worried about the weather spectical.
She says lightning is electrical.
Just like a light bulb, it makes light.
There are purples and blues, and even white.
Lightning can touch the ground or another cloud.
Lightning rods are inventions of which we are proud.
The metal creates attraction.
This keeps us safe, since it's a distraction.
The rain follows too.
If this wasn't scary, I'd enjoy the view.
We are alarmed.
But we run inside unharmed.

Food Friday: Lemons

Lemons are a fruit.
They are small and cute.
They are the shape of a football.
The lemon tree is very tall.
Lemons are yellow.
The flavor is mellow.
It can also be sour.
Our tree drops one an hour.
Buy them in a super mart.
Bake them in a tart.
They can also be made
Into sweet lemonade,
Squeeze on fish,
Or a chicken dish.
Lemons add flavor
To refresh and savor.
