All of a sudden it’s silent, A world with no people, An abandoned nest. Now everything is different, people are scared. Everyone waits for the next step. Empty shelves line the supermarket, clocks tick too slow. Calendars, stuck on March. Thoughts take over. Dishes piled high, plead to be washed. No one knows what happens next. Continue reading New Life

Everyone asks what’s the meaning of life The answer Life is meaningless We are all meant to die It is inevitable Continue reading Life

Hudson Friendly, my dog, kind. Son of two dogs, brother of Hudson and two other siblings. Lover of pats, hugs, and bully sticks. Who feels loved by everyone. Who needs three walks a day. Who gives joy. Who fears nothing. Who would like to see, I don’t know because I can’t understand him. Born in 2009, upstate NY and died in 2020, Brooklyn, NY. Bergen Continue reading Hudson

Life seems long but ’tis too short, The feeling of losing those memories, Like golden droplets of special moments, Falling through the darkness of forgetting, As time ticks by without feeling. Continue reading Memories

Collecting the vast green river, bucket by bucket Knowledge is a craving all have The auction house Buckets of knowledge go for $5,000, $10,000. $100,000 The river turns a misty grey Instead of rich knowledge, making those poor rich It is dull No knowledge is there Across the world, there is a place where the animals roam free and are studied, not slaughtered Over in that magical place, there is knowledge that is simply free They take little buckets for no price and pass them around The river is a beautiful blue, full of life People on boats put the … Continue reading Questions

Whilst we wait in the rain Without a hopeful sight of a drain To wash away our pain There is a glimmer of sunshine And it’s all mine No matter the cost Nothing is lost Continue reading Getting Better

Big ears small nose The fennec fox tredges though the storm Big eyes small toes The fennec fox is all alone The fennec fox digs down The fennec fox went underground He saw his friends and left the storm And went to sleep until the morn Continue reading Long Lonely Storm

I am on my roofThe wind blows like a hugThat almost knocks you overWaiting for the right time It swims towards mePushes off nothingnessAnd hurls at meHarder than before But the view knocks me downStronger than the windIt is like pure gold The trees swaying to music They say they can’t hear itBut I can So I sway with themTo their quiet sound Continue reading The Roof

Skipping past lounge chairs covered in snow, To get to the hot tub, you have to tiptoe. Sinking down beneath the froth, Comfortable in the steamy broth. Surrounded by wet leaves and slush, I put my hands to my cheeks and feel them flush. Gazing at dead and dull trees, Wondering if my hair will freeze. Noticing the sky is misty and hazy, Even the afternoon is lazy. Wallowing happily in the foam, Feeling as if I’m at home. Continue reading Hot Tub In The Snow

we are stuck in a broken record playing the same two lines over and over the sun shines on our faces the highlight of our day seeing ones who have not disappeared but they just don’t show we are not alone smiles are a common we are sad but joy is regular we are in endless board games and consonant reading normal tv but it is fun!

Quarantine Quarantine is a big brass door that cannot be opened Quarantine is looking at the flowers swaying on the other side of the gates Quarantine is watching your computer bing and chime from messages Quarantine is going to sleep in silence and darkness Quarantine Continue reading Quarantine

The sun shines it’s summertime We go to the aquarium and watch the shark Next we go to the beach until it’s dark On the way home we watched a mine We went to sleep Woke up at sun shine I said Mom it’s fine On the third day I heard a bird And a cat that purred I swirled and twirled Summertime is the best time Till it’s school time Continue reading Summer

Two trucks and an automobile Were plowing down the street They saw a mighty big elephant And stopped with an even bigger screech One man said, “Can we eat?” The rest said, “No, are you crazy?” He said, “We could have a big feast!” Continue reading That Elephant

I stand with pride looking out at the beautiful savannah, Full of animals who fearfully respect me, While the gleaming sun shines on my royal, golden mane. My mane, like a golden crown, proclaiming my rule to all who dare defy it. Some call me the King of Beasts, with my crown- like mane, And my razor-sharp teeth and claws. I now understand their reasoning. I truly am the mightiest of them all. Continue reading The Lion, The Mightiest Animal Of All

On a far hilltop Over the clouds In a place no human was meant to go There lies the map to freedom Though the winds below the hilltop are fiery with their spirit And the rain pours with rage The snow laughs with despite And the sleet shoots down like bullets On the hilltop Above the clouds The wind doesn’t dare blow The rain runs back up into the clouds The snow dances around it The sleet suddenly turns shy And birds tell the stories Of that peaceful island in the sky And the animals all know that what they … Continue reading The Map To Freedom

Sprouting out of the soft rich soil A flower blooms Its leaves and velvety petals grow one by one It grows taller and stronger Stretching its long leafy arms It gets watered day after day Growing and growing It is as vibrant and colorful as a rainbow Now it’s fully grown It is majestic and beautiful.

A small bird perches on a power wire It’s greyish feathers shine in the sunlight It’s eyes so tiny yet they hold a fire And it’s wings are full of tranquil might Like a music box it chirps it’s motif Inaudible to me, mute yet I know I know the tune, all it’s disbelief Almost like it’s heart was thrown to and fro It cries the same leitmotif yet again There is no bird, but yet I know it’s plea I just can’t tell you of the wounds it mends I watch as it performs, yet I can’t see Such … Continue reading Hope

The wandering tunes of the stray cat Lead to somewhere afar She has a sense of belonging With her years worth of scars Her life is tangled in electric wire, As if to say “Make way” And if she could use her whispers of a voice I can only imagine what she would say Everybody wants to have a village, To meet people that make them smile Cause on the most stressful nights They’re the ones who give you a break for a while Some say we live with our eyes shut So we are not strangers to the dark … Continue reading Strays

I just sit here watching him everyday, Sometimes I wonder if he’ll take me out to play. I am just a sad, lonely Converse, Time to play? My day just got reversed! We run up the block to go play at the park, Once in awhile I hear a dog bark. He plays a little frisbee with his really cool friends, Then I think to myself, “I hope this never ends!” Then just like that we start heading back, He takes me off and puts me back on my rack.
