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!

Red Bird Blue Bird

Red bird Blue bird,
Sitting in a tree,
Singing their songs,
So nicely to me,

Red Robin Blue Jay
How do you do,
Puff up fluff up,
Around me they flew,

Tiny bird Brown bird,
So pretty to me,
Huffing their chests,
Flying so free,

Hummingbird,
Mockingbird,
How do you do,
One buzzes around,
And the other mimics sound,

In the breeze of spring,
When the trees are full,
I sit on my swing,
Just to hear them sing!
