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 Dog

Red Dog,
Nose to the ground,
Red Dog,
Runnin’ around,

Red Dog,
Here he comes,
Red Dog,
There he runs,

Red Dog,
Chasin’ through the holler,
Red Dog,
Here I foller,

Red Dog,
Leadin’ the pack,
Red Dog,
Comin’ right back,

Red Dog,
Scratchin’ his ear,
Red Dog,
The game is near,

Red Dog,
Tree that girl,
Red Dog,
That tail did twirl,
Red Dog,
Worked so hard,
Red Dog,
Played in his yard.
------------------------
(My little red dog,
rolled on the ground,
my tired little red dog,
slept without making,
A Sound...)
