Underwater
Crabs crawl patiently along the ocean floor
searching for prey.
Fish soundlessly weave their way through
slippery seaweed
Whales whisper to others as they slide
through the salty water.
And silent waves wash into a dark cave
where an octopus is sleeping.

Ode to Apples



You’re delicious and nutritious,
juicy,
crunchy,
and when I open you,
you show me a flower
with five seedsplanted inside.



You’re as soft as silk
and when I make pie crust
to put you in,
I gently put you down.

And it feels like I am wrapping you in a blanket.

You are healthy andgood for my body.

When I bite into you

it feels like a thousand doves swooped me up

and I was lifted to heaven.

You’re so wonderful
and make me joyful.

Ode to Chocolate

Brown and rich

Better than gold and silver

Melts in your mouth

Some dark, some not

Wonderful so wonderful

Wrapped up in its wrapper

Waiting for meOh chocolate

I love you so much.
