Ima Ryma Poems

Dad only had a month to live.
I peeked in to tell them goodnight.
Mom was painting. She stopped to give
Me a kiss. 'Your Dad will be all right.'

The land is lit in morning tone,
As early dawn in glow does break.
Afoot they've fled, on wings they've flown.
As creatures sensed instincts to take.
...

Where have all the honeybees gone?
A lot of them have disappeared.
No body knows what's going on.
Worst case scenarios are feared.

The North America Great Lakes,
A huge freshwater resource that
Is, because of human mistakes,
A slowly dying habitat.

'Twas in the house a Christmas tree.
A spider came and climbed upon,
And soon on all the branches be
A dazzling silver web thereon.
...

Howie, the hippo, doesn't need
Two front teeth from Santa this year.
He has an awesome pair indeed.
With open mouth they sure appear.

A child of the computer age,
I've grown up as a way to show
Happy on the emotion gauge.

Sarah was the love of my life.
So beautiful, inside and out.
When she agreed to be my wife,
I was the luckiest, no doubt.

When I got home, my wife was gone.
I didn't think much at the time.
Awaking, it was next day's dawn.
I heard my phone's familiar chime.
...

My God, the morgue is where I'm at.
I'm still alive. Why can't they tell?
Some kind of paralysis that
Just took hold of me - what the hell?
