The party after the wedding to celebrate the joyful union between Sally the
salamander to Nort the newt, and to Natasha the newt to Steve the
salamander. Was held with much joy, fun,
and laughter. Everyone dancing, eating,
and having a good time. Things of note,
When the couples went to cakes. They
each took a piece of cake and fed it to each other ( looked more like smashing
it in their face.) When the couples went
to take the dance floor, Nort tripped.
Steve tried to catch him and they both fell to the floor. Willow the wolf cub caught the flowers thrown
by Sally, and Mandy the mountain lion cub caught the flowers thrown by
Natasha. A boxing match started between
rwo of the guests, and they had to be told to leave. After things had calm down and everyone was
seated. Nathan stood up, raised his
glass and said" To the lucky couples, may the four of them live with
unending love of each other." There
were a round of cheers as glasses all around were raised. Then Harry the hawk stood up and said"
How do I follow that, except to say congratulations and may your lives ever be
filled with joy." Again another
round of cheers, with glasses raised.
Later Steve spoke with Nort" I thought the Great Horned Owl, only
liked doing weddings that only had one couple in it. How did you get him to do a double
wedding?" Nort told Steve" You
are right he is one for tradition in this sort of matter. I was doing some work for him and we
discussed it. He was still not sure
about the idea, but decided he would do it." Nathan sneaked up behind Steve and spooked
him. Nathan asked" Where are the
lovely women?" Steve answered"
Over there talking to the bride's maids."
Nathan added" Well congratulations, and Steve thank your friend
again for catering the wedding party." Steve said" Will do." However as all good parties must come to an
end. Both couples walked to the end of
the clearing where two friends Harry the hawk, and his wife Helen the hawk were
waiting. Nort and Sally climbed onto Harry's back, Steve and Natasha climbed
onto Helen's back. The launched into the
air, waving at the crowd below.

I will not change a word
You will have to change your poem they said
Some of your language is not appropriate
No I said
No
You do not tell me how to write
You do not tell me how to express myself
You do not tell me how to release the emotional flood within me
I write and still I get pulled down into the undertow
In the current of emotional thought
Yes some of my language is crude
But that is just the state my mind is in
You have no say
I have no say
The words flow from pure emotion
Unto the page
Every word is an out pouring of
Blood
Tears
Pain
Joy
An out pouring of pure emotional force
A true sign
That I am human
Every word
No matter the wording
Is spilled from my heart and soul
I will not change a word of it
For to do so would be a betrayal
A betrayal to myself
A betrayal to who I am
A betrayal to human existence
Every word
The language
Rush out from the flood gates of the soul
I have no control over it
The flood cleanses
Heart
Mind
Soul
Body
I will change nothing
I will not deny the truth
That lies behind each word
The language may be crude for some
But
It is truth at it's essence
You will have to change your poem they said
Some of your language is not appropriate
No I said
No
Depression
They said that I was worthless
They said that I was ugly
They told me I would never amount to anything
Though these words were spoken by bullies years ago
They still rage inside my head
While they were laughing
I was dying inside
While they were enjoying life
I thought about ending mine
They
Taunted
Kicked me
And beat me
They called it fun
I called it hell
Years later I have gotten better
I open up more
But I still have a hard time trusting people
Part of me still thinks
Everyone just wants to make me the joke
That everyone does not care about my feelings
I know that is not true
But that is what happens
With depression
I still hear the voices of the bullies
Calling
Taunting
Ringing inside my head
Day after day
Those memories seem to play
Like a never ending movie
A Poet
A poet lives the
words that he writes
Their every emotion
jotted down
With ever pen stroke
Hurt
Sorrow
Love
Joy
Even emotions that
go
MUCH
MUCH
Deeper than those
Emotion that sit at the
very core of
The human soul
The human existence
The very fabric of our being
Is spoken within our
verses
A friend
A friend is good and faithful
A friend is kind and true
A friend will always help you when you’re
feeling blue
A friend is happy
A friend is nice
A
friend sometimes gives the best advice
A
friend is always willing to help and will help when you’re feeling doubt
A friend is honest
A friend is kind
A friend always knows when you have
something on your mind
From all I have observed and all I have
seen you have been such a friend to me
That means the world to me
500 Miles
500 Miles I would walk before I’d hear a
giant redwood talk
500 Miles I would fly before I’d see a sparrow
in the sky
500 Miles I would swim before I’d come back to fish again
500 Miles I would float before I’d see a red tug boat
500 Miles up in space you cannot see the human race
Those 500 miles I wold roam before I’d turn back home
