I did what was expected



I went along with everything

I did what was expected

Though when I am alone

I feel I’ve been rejected

 

I wasn’t smart enough

At Penn State to succeed

Just wanted to have fun

A flunk out guaranteed

 

I married very young

Was very immature

Gave birth to 2 grown sons

With me they'd soon ignore

 

Suffering from depression

A battle hard to fight

Had suicide attempts

But then I chose to write

 

I loved it in the past

When ideas often came

Published in a newsletter

I had a bit of fame

 

In psychiatric hospitals

I’ve been to in years past

It causes me embarrassment

It’s nothing to broadcast

 

               My husband’s very helpful

               He loves me very much

                 I couldn’t live without him

               Although we hardly touch

 

Despite my major surgeries

I’ve tried to stay in shape

           But fear about the future

There is no great escape

Will I fight for my country


I'm a newborn baby, born into a world unknown.... 
Am I black or white? 
Is my family rich or poor?  
Do I have a mother and father?
Do I live in a nice home?  

I will know nothing until many years later.  
About slavery, the Holocaust,  
the wars that were fought for our freedom. 
I did not ask to be born.  Was I planned?
  
Will I join the service and fight for my country?  
Will there be no more wars?
.

Seagulls are annoying



You think we’re annoying
We’re flying around
Looking for food
That fell on the ground

The clams you’re eating
They're ours to eat
So we think it's fair
That we take your treat

When seeing your food
And not to miss out
Our friends will arrive
You’ll scream and shout

No popcorn or peanuts
We’ll have to survive
During long winter months
Until you arrive

Whale watching


From our sightseeing boat
We saw Silla the whale
And everyone cheered
When we saw her tail

An older whale
Almost 40 years old
Silla’s 14th baby
Is with her we’re told

Swimming together
For only a year
When baby matures
It will disappear

A whale is a mammal
Though it lives in the sea
It needs to breathe
Just like you and me

Don't get close to the whales
If you're in a small boat
Whales can tip you over
Then you'll have to float

Lobster Tales


How did you find me
I’m crawling around
Beneath the sea
Hard to be found

I washed ashore
After a storm
That’s where you saw me
It isn’t the norm

You thought I looked tasty
You needed to eat
Although I looked scary
I would be a treat

With cages to trap us
It’s now a delight
To cook us and eat us
With family at night

And many years later
A delicacy
As precious as gold
When were’ not in the sea

September 11th Memorial



The Towers are gone
But we’ll never forget
The lives that were lost
We’ll always regret

Where the Towers had been
Now fountains appear
And the first responders
Performed without fear

A tribute to all
Those victims who died
Along the fountains
Their names are inscribed

The Freedom Tower
Rose -up in its place
But the Twin Towers
It will never replace
