Stephen Katona Poems

The best way to live,
Is to try to give.
Leave behind your greed,
To truly succeed.
...

In the middle of the night,
Sam the parrot gave his owner a fright,
Shouting into her ear,
To make certain she'd hear.

Out in the rain,
They invade my domain.
My flowers are under threat,
Whenever it's wet.
...

I sat beside a dandelion in the shade,
(I'd missed it earlier with my spade)
And wondered how it had been made.
Why less popular than a rose,
...

By throwing a bag away.
Inside I found some potato chips,
And when they touched my furry lips,

A life in cyberspace,

Jump like a kangeroo.

In 1978 on the island of Borneo,
A man by the name of Gary Shapiro,
Met a baby orangutan,
And so their relationship began.
...

Let go of the fear,
Of a startled young deer,
Listening for the sound of padded paws,
In case they come with sharp claws.
...

This is a story of true devotion,
Deep in the Pacific Ocean.
In Monterey Bay,
Far below seals at play,
...
