My Poetry

I started this blog so I could neatly archive my work. You should find my poetry very diverse. I would like to believe there is something here for almost everyone.

It was only recently that I became interested in poetry. I started taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke and we began writing stories and poems together. It has been very therapeutic for us both.

This isn't a complete collection of my poetry, my first poems I self published under the moniker, A Pet Banana Production. The first self published book, "A Pet Banana" is a rhyme/story about colors and the second is a collection of poetry I created with my mother titled, "An Elephant is On My House." I hope you enjoy my writing and I would love a visit to my author page!
Thanks!

Fishing Into Potato Salad

Let’s go fishing into potato salad,
It’s my favorite sport,
Fish into any size you want,
Even inside a quart.


So throw that line right in,
Don’t have any fear,
Fish to the right, fish to the left,
You never know what’s near.

Let’s go fishing into potato salad,
You don’t know what mysteries you may find,
Many different sizes, shapes and colors,
Save some for later, I'm sure mom won't mind!

Fish from the bottom to the top,
You may find something neat,
If you fish down really far,
You could get a special treat!

It doesn't matter if at lunch or dinner,
It's fun for any age,
Let’s go fishing into potato salad,
Because it’s all the rage!
