The Water of My Heart

Feb.28, 2019: Written right after my dog, Bruce, and my cat, Blondie, died; I’ve always seen life as being “a half-full glass of water”, so for me to not see it that way really means how heartbroken I am, though now with the help of the horses I’m coming back to myself:

I am heartbroken,

The halves of my heart fall to the ground–their edges jagged,

They hit the ground shattering into many pieces,

My heart shattered–I am empty,

The glass of water is empty,

There is no half-full,

Where is the water that will make the glass full which will bring my heart halves into a whole one?

That water is missing.

Old King Cole

This is another one of my silly poems. Done several years ago. For awhile there I was on quite a role for crazy poems.

Old King Cole:

Old King Cole is from the North Pole,

He has no heart and soul,

But he does have a son named Joel,

Who has a tadpole,

That lives in a fishbowl,

Out of which comes a flagpole,

Who does have a heart and soul.
