A hillside in vibrant color ablaze

Every night at nine

Open the cupboard

Before we are awake Our bodies smile, Knowing the colors and sounds Of nature. Trees so pure green I smile like a 7th grader At a surprise birthday party! Bird sounds! Water dancing music! Rocks piled here and there With a grace Engineers can’t comprehend. And, finally breakfast Joyously slopped together Over an open fire Just the way boys know! Then, a walk with my dog​ Along the river, doing​ Just what men and boys know best! --Kurt Kristensen Right Click Image Save: Download PDF to Print

I am in the mood to write,

All cows are brown, black, gray, white, and overweight.

Without compassion all

It moves around the edges of my mind,

Kids

Blue is the sky, The twilight And shadows on snow. Blue is water, Waterfalls And shining rain. Blue is Flames shot from a torch. Blue is spirit, And blue eyes In a sapphire. Blue is the way I feel When I am sad, Blue is the color The bird that flies​ In the sky.​ ​ In ​ The​ Sky.​ --Josh Carlson Right Click Image Save: Download PDF to Print:
