Poetry by Jeff

The home of the dreams

can make it seem we're free

but in Texas is always free

Texas is calm like the sea

home of the brave land of the free

Texas the gentle giant

know me for who I am

a brave soul and strong man

- Jeff W.

Poetry by Monica

I ponder the pineapple
Never seen where they grow
I think its high above my head
OUCH what if it falls and hits my head
would the spikes drill into my skull,
I'd become even more dull
so I just decided I don't care to go
where the pineapple grow

Written by Monica in the Tuesday Poetry Class

Poetry by Christine

Poetry written by Christine in the Poetry group that takes place each Tuesday Morning

I am Linus, I am a basset hound

I was lost but now I am found

My favorite thing in life was eating flies

One day I was smelling the holly hocks

And I ate a fly, at least I thought it was safely

A sharp pain went through my tongue

Fiercly I drug my tongue along the grass

It was a bumblebee, not a fly

I stopped eating flies by and by

Because I don't want to get stung and die
