Pigs, Wigs and Jigs

The pig
In the wig
Did a jig
On a twig.

Then the twig broke.

That pig
In a wig
Don't jig no more.

Fimbreate

This is a Fimbrate

(Pronounced Fim-bre-ate)

and you cannot recreate

a wonderful thing

that is never to late

to write at all

no matter what

welcome to the 21st century

~Lightning Man (the Goober)

Roses are red
Rabbits too
Rabbits are boney
Kangaroos too.
Tretle's walk slowly
But not Piperoo!

--Tulip

I look outside
and see a few degrees
transform a world
soft to hard
rain to snow
cool to frigid.

I look inside
and see a few degrees
transform a heart
soft to hard
tears to ice
sorrow to hate.

A few degrees change...
more deadly
without or within?
--Zoey Zephyr

Abinadi The Martyr-- by Kate Wynstelle

Abinadi the Martyr

Abinadi was captured!
Taken to the king
Standing in His iron chains
Within a priestly ring.

They challenged him-their war of words
Couldn't make him fall.
He'd come to know his Savior.
This helped him stand up tall.

It could have been so easy
"You're right, I'm wrong, ok?"
But standing there in chains he knew
Just how to end the day.

He gave a testimony bold
"Break forth in joy and sing!
The grave is vanquished ever more
And death hath lost its sting."

In anger, they approached him
But "Touch me not!" he roared
"Until I've spoken all to you
Put away your swords!"

And light shone round the prophet's face
The priests were touched by fear
One leaned a little closer
And to the words gave ear.

"A light and life for everyone
May be found this hour.
Why teach ye not this people
Of the marv'lous saving power?"

Then in his spot so lonely
Surrounded by his foes
he met the eyes of one young priest
And Alma quickly rose.

"He speaks the truth, Release him!"
But Noah, in kingly rage
Sent forth the guards, so Alma ran.
Only the prophet kept the stage.

The only one who'd listened
Was surely to be slain.
Abinadi had one last chance
"Renounce what you have said!"

"I will not recall my words
Now I have spoken all.
You'll see the vengeance of the Lord.
Oh God, receive my soul."

Although encircled 'bout by chains
With fire burning clear.
The chains of death and flames of hell
Could not to him draw near.

And as before a light shone 'round
The holy prophet's face,
As he ascended upward
To receive his Savior's grace.

Haiku for You (and other poems)

Miss Cupcake
(With her first ever published poem!)
Slingshot, slingshot
They are fun!
I like to do slingshots
Slingshots are fun!

Miss Butterfly

Monsters
Terrible, Frightening, Scary Monsters

Butter
Slippery, sliding, sticky butter

Horses
Prancing, jumping,
Running all around the meadow
Where the horses play

Home
Cozy, warm, safe
Home is where I want to be
Because my family is there
(To keep me safe)

Mr. Rutabaga 
(formerly known as "Lightning Man")
I'm going to impress
I'm going to rhyme a haiku
"I can tie my shoe"

Kangaroo Rat
I like pie and cheese
Also real-ly yummy peas
Oh, my! That sounds good.

Nature Sees
Nature sees Bees and Trees
Natures sees Everything!
Flowers, Trees and Seeds.

Nature sees anything:
Bees, trees, seeds, flowers, colors, hives, ponds,
Frogs, bogs, fogs, dogs, hogs.

Little Brothers
They are full of smiles
They play games outside with me
Yes, I love them so!

Zoe Zephyr
(based upon her recent reading of "Monkey": a folktale of China)
Seeking endless life
Monkey leaves home and monkeys
Brazen fool in heaven

Stealing the peaches
Upsetting Heavenly Feasts
Monkey cares little

Monkey travels on
Battling goofy battles
Against Heavenly Hosts

Monkey spits his haris
They become mini-monkeys
Which gain him victory

Family Haiku
I love to do Haiku
It makes me want to sneeze
Watch out all!  Ah-choo!
