The Rat Must Go

3/30/2020

I knew a black cat,
Wore a green top hat,
Carried a wooden bat,
Didn't have time to chat,

You see, this black cat
Had enemies that spat,
One was a fat, fat rat
With a trash can tat

Who refused to scat
From where the cat
Put is nap time mat,
The cat ended that.

Dream of Flying

By Robert Stanhope

While chasing my dreams
I sometimes get lost,
I sometimes get confused
Between fiction and fairyland

Some days I’m drowning,
Some days I swim,
And, last night I tripped on a cloud
When I tried to fly

I have real dreams
Of creating these worlds
That I can visit on vacation
To take a break from a break

Sometimes my dedication
Is simple procrastination
Or a fear of rejection
When my words become publication

In my dreams there’s no rejection
Not even the giggling fairies
Pass judgment on the guy
That still doesn’t believe he can fly.

Don't play with my heart
Love isn't a game
Just do your part
And I'll do the same

Nature's Harmony

When I walk
My steps are delicate
On a nature
I wish not disturb.
When I stop
I hear a song
From a nature
I wish to always hear.

Love Like Rain

I'm guilty of loving you,
Too deeply,
Absorbing your pain
When you cry,
Crying myself,
On the inside.
When you laugh,
My joy shines
Like a Spring rain.
