Ogre Love

You are a fearless ogre waiting for love.

A capturer of the night,

A compassionate beast trying to find the world you once read in a fairytale.

You swim through muddy swamps,

And glide past your Princesses King Father, and Queen Mother

Trying to gather bits and pieces of what will make them

Happy,

Welcoming,

Understanding.

Your salsa dancing cat, and sociable donkey, can lead you to everlasting love,

You just have to believe.

You have to dream big and brush those grimy teeth of yours;

Never allowing your size to defeat you,

Just let your personality and warmth belt out.

Shrek, how brilliant you are to all;

You have come such a long way.

Now, lead your Princess along the new path of life,

And share your miracle adventure that you captured

Together.

As October Envelopes the Air

The apple pie envelopes the air in my home
On an October afternoon.
The air piles up with joy,
And smiles gather in the room
As each family member takes a piece,
And eats it with pleasure and little bites.
As I sit there,
I notice how great the fall weather really is;
Warm greetings,
Leaves falling from tall trees,
And birds enveloping the air like whiskers on a man's face.
Little children jump in piles of leaves,
And smile with joy
Because they know that the smell of Thanksgiving is nearby.
Shortly after, we settle down and finish our apple pie;
The sensational laughter that is so contagious
Suddenly sneaks up behind me
Leaving me with a giggly stomach,
And a cramp for hours.
October is a time when people gather together and create memories for a lifetime.
October gives off happiness that envelopes around my warm, healthy heart.

A Piece of Art

A photo of a beautiful flower, so purple and alive.

A flower that was only created with paint and a brush, but was from the heart and has so much meaning from the hands with such talent.

A flower that gives off

A feeling

A prospective

A future

And a touch of rememberence.

Some people may wonder if art can come to life,

This artist can prove it to you with just one simple touch.

Art is so amazing to see

No matter if it is made by you or me.

An artist can tell you how to draw,

But can never tell you how to

Explore

Imagine

or Create the most beautiful picture you have ever seen.

Without art, we wouldn't have a Michaelangelo

We wouldn't have a world full of color to explain to us the true meaning of this Earth.

Without art, we would be motionless.

Art is what makes us unique.
