One short errant shot
Taken, a vibrant, young life
Finds eternity

“It’s this newfangled thing
Come on, we have to try it!”
“I’m not liking what I see,
Not sure I want to buy it!”
“It’s a cupcake in a mug,
But you don’t get to drink it”
“Looks a little odd to me,
You might want to rethink it.”
“Now, don’t be a silly nilly
All we need to do is bake it”
“Am I supposed to like this?
‘Cause I don’t think I can fake it.”
“Trust me, you’ll love this
Would I ever steer you wrong?”
“Well, there was this time when…”
“Okay, let’s move along!”
“Patty, I don’t understand you,
Why must you try this thing?”
Well, Gerry, how I see it, is
It might make my taste buds sing.”
“Let’s hope that’s all it does
Or you’ll scare away the neighbors”
“Very funny, ha ha ha,
So will you try this flavor?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll give it a try,
And pray it’s the last one you ever buy…”

Dear John, I began
It is time to call it quits
There is nothing left
We never talk anymore
I cannot go on like this

Wrapped inside a hardened shell
An iridescent gem does dwell
Hidden deep, beneath the sea
Yet, not much larger than a pea
Begins, when oysters take offense
Triggering layers, of self defense
Fighting, to make its bed just right
As such, creates this luminous sight
Which sets a woman’s heart awhirl
Ah, the beauty, of a cultured pearl

Pink
A field
Of floral
Beauty, thrives
In the sunlit days
Graceful, on the hillsides
Swaying, in the warm breezes
Ah, ’tis summertime in full bloom
With scented heather, creating spells
Which a man and his Earth find enchanting
