Blizzard Paws Poem

Snow falls across pine lands,
mountains taht stand as still as air


Flakes of white land in rythmic patterns on the frosted ground,
covering the needles of the skyscraper trees


Breaking the crystal green sight,
a flash of flame flashes through the midday wilderness


Poking his pointed ebony nose into the gray sky,
he sniffed the rushing wind for a trace of shelter


As he trotted across the brush,
winter's white spots his rusted red pelt


Finding a hole under thick snow,
the fox digs,
empting his sleeping place


Once the frozen water has gone,
he squirms into the small underground space,
tucking his paws into his fluffed white chest,
to settle a day's rest

Ambition

Ambition is the friend that everyone loves and knows

Ambition's family hugs her when she scores the winning point
She is the spunky cheerleader that smiles through even the hardest practices

Ambition climbs higher to receive better grades
runs faster to make the team

Ambition is a little girl making big dreams

A Loyal Dog

Poem based on the life of my old dog, Snowy.

Night falls
her eyes wander the trees

One stranger
will not pass without her bark
of warning

Cream white fur
of thick warmth
a polar bear from a distance

Intelligence rest on
her brown eyes

Abused pup
to great protector

Not apart like strangers
not together as friends

But loyalty watches over me
making me feel save as I sleep

Eyes of a Different Color

Blue...
eyes of the open seas beyond the horizon
sky of no clouds, but light shades

Green...
forest away from the human society
grass of wet dew before sun's wake

Brown...
the earth we walk on
fur of the silent deer

Gray...
the silver mist
shine of the moonlight

Black...
hidden shadows from the light
glossy wings of a roaming raven

Golden...
the couragous lion's mane
cover of the greatest treasures

Eyes of different colors see other veiws of the world
