Monica Engeler Poems

There once were four young hounds
All were caught by a canine catcher
Cages locked them for future termination
Only a youth saved all from the pound.
...

A tall pine tree stood in front of me.
Many colorful rays blazed bright,
And garland wrapped about the tree.
I just gazed at the beauty with a smile.
...

Down the chimney climbed Claus
He chuckled with such delight
HoHOHO he cried by night
His jolly work doesn't pause.
...

There was a time when things were normal
I would go out for dinner with family
And go to places was just likely
Now those things are no longer formal.
...

I was given a life to breathe
I may smile to you,
but inside I cry to be free
In spite I find hope that is true.
...

Hey everybody its Christmas time
Why because Santa is standing on every turn.
All the stores are decorated in holiday patterns
The spirit repeats itself in holiday rhyme.
...

As a child I had a tree standing by my window.
I decorated it with lights, garland and ornaments.
The stand was wrapped with a cloth of imaginary snow.
...

What would you say
I have been gone a long time
and returning and feeling fine
it is just routine this way?
...

I stand alone battling my sole
It is my aim to be on top of the pole
I endure each day with faith on my side
I don't care I am still standing in pride.
...

I am living with Gastroparesis for two years
Please somebody take on my lonely fears
There are so many times I want to cry for hope
More for understanding to try to cope.
