sometimes
the hardest jump
is into shallow water
because you know that
you’ll be ever so safe
but it leaves you
wondering
Craig is a hurricane;
A pernicious storm delivering nothing but havoc and destruction.
This bipolar alcoholic is more destructive than most hurricanes the world has ever seen.
Children obesses over the little things in life
They want candy and toys
Adults realize that these are not what makes life worth living
It does not matter who has the most candy or who is the coolest girl or boy
Tall palm trees shimmy in the soft breeze,
Standing tall like soilders,
Guarding the colossal college walls.
Daunting yet appealing waves wash over me,
As my bold reflection stares back at me,
There once was a wee little thing
Who wondered what life would bring
Well it brought her thrills
And it brought her bills
And best of all it brought her knowing!
Dear Education,
You taught me to write in rhymed tercet
And terza rima, by reading Dante’s Inferno
A tale of a trail through Hell, quite dulcet.
But in the future, Dante’s story I will forego
Because I Love You,

and that’s just perfect
Dirty, mortal menaces we are
Constantly staining our white cloths,
It is not a blizzard-y blizzard,It is a fiery fire.A love that lasts forever,Is a love that burns with desire.
That is what I heard--But I have yet to seeWhat love truly doesTo you and me
They tell me education is the key to success
the key that will get me out this mess
the key that will present me with a new dress,
walk and flow about me.
Present me as "Doctor" instead of "Mister"
