Carry me home
home to the creek
and the water
and the leaves on the trees.
...
I only have apples for you,
Winesap apples
hanging red and green
from twisted trees
...
here you shall find me
must find me
we must meet
having met, we must
...
I checked my closet today
Shall I wear my feelings on my sleeve
Will it be my waistcoat of sadness
with the hopeless cape of yesterday
...
The fire is not out.
It burns like fire, like pain, like, you know, pain.
Water waiter, water for my fire, water, sweet clear cool water.
Words won't do. Words or work won't do.

Rolly The Rabbit Poem For Kids
I'm a rabbit
said Rolly Rabbit
I've been a rabbit my whole life.
I eat carrots and other plants.
I do my rabbit dance
I wiggle my bunny tail
When I see you I
hop hop hop away
then I stop
and look at you.
Oh Rolly you sure are a rabbit
said Spunky Squirrel
All you do is eat and
hop hop hop,
You can't climb a tree
like me.
You have no ears to speak of
said Rolly Rabbit
and your tail is
so long and so thin
why just look at the thing!
The dog would catch me
on the trail
if I had that tail.
