DREAM CATCHER
With his
Ear
Pressed
To my
Pillow,
Booglie
Listened
To my
Dreams.
They were
A chaotic
Bunch
Made of
Smiles,
Frowns
And all
Emotions
In life's
Merry-go-round.
Booglie
Heard it
All
While I
Slept,
In his words,
Like a
Doll.
Booglie
Watched
Me
Laugh,
Frown
Cry and
Then some,
He caught
A runaway
Tear
In his little
Palm.
And when
I awoke,
Booglie told
Me
All he had
Seen...
My very own
Dream
Catcher,
He sure
Is!

IN THOSE EYES
I sleep
Under
Starry eyes
That look
Upon
Me
With
A love
Guise.
Oh how
They
Shine
Even
Behind
My closed
Eyes,
The stars
Are
My dreams
Come
To life.
Oh dreams
Of joy,
Laughs,
Adventures...
Dreams of
Unending
Youth,
Sunshine
All year
Round
And love
I smile
As I
Slumber
Knowing
The starry
Eyes
Watch me
Devotedly.
In those
Eyes
I imagine
I am
The one
And only!

HER SONG
Her song
Was sung
True to
Every note,
The highs
And rhe
Lows.
Instantly
Hearts
Were won
And the
Fanbase
Grew
From
A paltry
Few
To a billion .
Oh, such
Fame!.
Concerts
Were
Booked
Every which
Way!
So began
The fame
Of the
Star
Singer!

DAYDREAM REALITY
I sat
With a
Book
Open
In my
Lap.
The television
Showed
A
Breaking
News
Segment...
It was
All about
How
A fine
Diamond
Eyed
Panda
Had
Gone
Missing
From an
Expensive
Store.
My eyes
Turned
To mushy
Hearts
As I saw
The
Panda's
Photo
On the
Screen. .
How cute
He is!
I exclaimed
To the
TV.
Then I
Had a
Daydream
In which.
The Diamond
Eyed
Panda
Had
Come
To me
Begging
To be
Taken
In...
I did
It
And hugged
The little
Sweetie,
He wiggled
In my
Arms
Before falling
Into an
Exhausted
Sleep.
Oh wait,
It wasn't
A dream
As here
He is
Booglie Boo
Dictating
This poem
To me!

THE LITTLE ONE
The moment
Arrived
When she
Had to
Walk
Down the
Aisle.
She felt
Excited,
Afraid
And shy...
Eyes
Would
Look at her
As she
Went along
Doing her
Best
To not run.
She stepped
Forward,
All of her
Trembling
As she
Was given
The flowers.
The
Walk began
And went
Awww...
Overturning
The basket
She scatterd
Them perals
As she ran
To the
Front
To giggles
Her tears
Fell.
She knew
She wasn't
Ready
For the
Role
Of
Flower
Girl.
Oh, the
Poor bride
She thought
Hope she'd
Not run
Away
From it all!

THE ICE CREAM
Heard an
Ice cream
Truck
Down the
Road.
Ran to
It
At top
Speed,
Desiring
The delicious
Cold
Treat.
Got a
Flavor
Of
My choice
In a cone,
Happily
Enjoying it
All the way
Home.
That at least
Was
My intent..
But
A crow
Had
Other
Plans.
It started
To
Caw
At the sight
Of me
From atop
A nearby
Tree.
I walked
Under
It in
Quick paces
Knowing
What the
Cawing
Meant...
Alas, I was
Outfitted
By the
Crow
Who
Swooped
Down
Oh my
Half
Eaten
Ice cream
Cone,
Carrying
Away
From me
In its.
Beak!

DEAR SANTA
It's almost
Christmas
Though
Not quite
Yet.
There are
Still
Weeks to
Go
Thank goodness.
I've to
Write
My letter
To Santa
Claus
I'll ask
For
Joy,
Peace and
Great laughs,
Not only
For me
But for
Everyone
Around.
I'll request
The new
Year
Be uniquely
Special,
Somehow
In every
Way...
That I may
Be
Inspired
To
Write long
Tales
And poetry.
Ooh
I'll start my
Letter
Right
Now
With a
Dear Santa,
Please do
Not turn
Me down,
I've tried
To be
Good
All year
Round!
