what?

Often do I sit and ponder
Recline and leave my mind to wander.
Think of all things future-past
Think of all things slow and fast.
I think of the elephant that loves a mouse
Or a man who'd rather a blouse.
The world, so big and full,
Can teach me more than any school.
All the dogs who play in rain
The butler to Mr.Wayne
A stork that sells a pickle
A cats foot that you can tickle.
All these on the green 'n blue
Proves there's nothing we can't do.
If a dog can go to space
And a turtle win a race,
I can eat one more bite
And he can run the kite,
Then can a bird go under the sea
And a baby boy not spray and pee?
Often do I sit and ponder
Where exactly is it that my mind does wonder.

Winter Rain

Each drop a kiss from your lips
Cleansing my skin of society's dirt.
Each exhale of white
A release of soul pollutants.
Each padder off my shoulder
Breaking a chip.
Each shudder starting in my feet
Reminding me to dance.

Sonnet #1

As I lay your head to rest,
Beneath the ground so cold,
First remember it upon my chest,
When you were finally mine to hold.
Your life a breath taken pure,
Deep and full of promise.
Fates sorrows your smile di' cure,
A smile I shall more than miss.
A sun that set before the west
A falling slimmer of glorious shine;
Not yet born but just a crest
A star that fell before its time.
Streams of soul flow out my pane
To see you as your doll,
Kiss I upon lips cooler than rain;
Beneath the wind I curse it all.
Thus with this knife I come to you
And with no tear bid the world Adieu.
