Sting Like a Butterfly

February 28, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

Sting like a butterfly
float like a bee
run like the water
swim like the wind

go fast
go now
get out of my head

I want to stop thinking
about the things you’ve said

If I forget,
maybe I’ll get some peace
I wish the memory of you
would just leave me.

So go now
go fast
get out of my head

I want to stop thinking
about what is ahead.

You stung like a butterfly
you floated like a bee

have I ever mentioned…
how much you confuse me?

This is just a silly little poem I wrote because…well, I don’t know what possessed me to write it. Enjoy! : )

‘Stressed’

February 26, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

Ever felt stressed?
The feeling definitely
isn’t the best.

If you spell it out
it doesn’t help
the feeling spreading
inside.

But spell it backwards
and what you find
blows your mind:
it’s ‘desserts’!

When you’re feeling down
you can turn things around
with some sweets
or a treat.

Some chocolate,
perhaps
could ease the pain
some cake or ice-cream, too

cookies or pie
piled high
with lovely, delicious
whipped cream.

Sprinkles and icing
marshmallows and more
chocolate chips,
cookie dough,
coconut bits like snow.

With a full belly
and a mouth full of sugar
you’re sure to feel better
soon.

Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you know that I now have a Twitter account. I have a friend managing it for me, so, luckily, I don’t have to know what I’m doing! Check it out, though.

Bird’s Eye View

February 10, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

So wonderful it seems
to view the wonders below
from a bird’s eye view.

Sitting on a branch
of a tall, tall tree
watching what goes on below me
from a bird’s eye view.

A cocoon hanging still
shivers in the breeze
I watch happily
from a bird’s eye view.

Just formed it is ugly
to the naked eye at first
I will wait patiently
and watch from a bird’s eye view.

A newly born baby
down on the sidewalk
a couple smiling
their hearts full and brimming
as I watch from a bird’s eye view.

The cat and mouse
play at the trunk
of master’s tree down there
this is seen from a bird’s eye view.

I see the cocoon shaking
but the breezes are still
could it be? – I wonder
I wait and watch from my bird’s eye view.

It cracks down the middle
with a sound only heard by me
why is it that nobody seems
to be listening
as I watch from a bird’s eye view.

Luckily I am there to behold
a miracle of nature
a butterfly
pleasing to my eyes
flutters up into the tree.

I’m reminded of why I’m here
in this lovely place
smelling the roses
taking my time
to watch from a bird’s eye view.

Bye, Bye 2009!

January 4, 2010 by brooke Leave a Comment

It’s time to say goodbye
to the lovely 2009:

I turned 13
what a change!

I did new things
played new games.

I kept a journal,
luckily,

to remember
my favorite things.

Everyone has something different
that seems of special importance

in our minds eye we can picture
the highlights of 2009.

So on this last note
we’ll say goodbye

to all those we lost
to the wonderful times

we experienced
in 2009.

2010

January 4, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

It’s 2010;
a new year
a year to do
new things.

Here comes another birthday
one year older at last
and then I’ll wait for the new year
to do it all over again.

2010 will bring change
from weather
to fashion
to more,

new people,
new talents
will be welcomed
into our world.

I’ll wait
and watch
to see for myself
what 2010 will bring.

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! Welcome to 2010!

The Christmas Cheer

December 20, 2009 by brooke 3 Comments

The Christmas cheer is spreading
excitement is creeping in
we’re dreaming of sugar and spice
Christmas presents of every kind.

Smiles are on our faces
as we prepare for the holiday
we’re laughing and we’re singing
to special Christmas songs.

‘Comfy cozy are we,’
cuddling up on the couch
drinking cocoa and snacking
on candy canes.

Driving around
to look at Christmas lights
strung atop the trees,
we’re happy and we’re ready…

for the best day of the year
the holiday we look forward to
Jesus’ coming is remembered
the Christmas cheer is finally here.

Jingle Bells

December 18, 2009 by brooke 1 Comment

Jingle bells,
jingle bells
silver,
shiny,
and round…
They jingle and they jangle
filling the hall with sound.
Shake them,
rattle them,
roll them,
they’ll jingle every time.
In your hand,
in a band,
or on the ground.
Such little balls of joy
can cause smiles everywhere
or headaches –
I’m well aware.
I can’t wait to shake my own
to make a little ‘jingle’
and when Christmas comes along
I’ll feel a little tingle.
