Future Friends

 Someday soon I will

shake the hand of my neighbor 

And say- Come right in

WINTER WONDER

 Swirling, falling, bits of heaven

Floating down- whirling round

Gently land on snowy ground

Lying there I feel I’m flying

Through the snow - up I go

Through the whirling, swirling snow

Winter’s hush is all around me

Silence loud - Winter’s shroud

Whispers peace she has endowed

In this perfect world of wonder

Heaven’s show - Earth aglow

Making angels in the snow

A Howling Bad Time

 I feel an itch behind my ear

I scratch - OH NO -I quake with fear 

Outside the window, bright and clear

A full moon glows - my fate draws near

Once nails - now claws - I writhe in pain

Once teeth - now fangs - I squirm in vain

Once skin -now fur- my certain bane

My canine ears hear gurgling drain

Mom yells - COME NOW! I feel her wrath

I snarl -I growl - as no man hath

She drags me from my dusty path

From under bed - straight to the bath!
