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!

Doug the Slug

I had a pet slug, it's name was Doug and it wasn't a bug, but it lived in my rug, and acted like a thug, when it slimed my pug, and was really smug, as it gave me a shrug, so I put it in a mug, and gave it a chug, then I went ugh, it tasted like krug and felt like a drug, the nurse gave me a hug, and started to pull the plug, but before I died I felt a tug and out popped Doug.
