The tree was big, the tree was tall and now I hope the tree does not fall.
I want it to live.
Who would want it to die? The tree is so pretty. Just add a skirt.
A tree with fashion!
Look at it work, and work it to the dirt.

I am a special child.
I am a good and wonderful child.
When I laugh, I make people happy.
When I smile I light up the room.
I am smart and can do many things
One day, I’ll show the world
How great I am!

What IF
You were old
You were young
What IF
Tomorrow was your
LAST DAY
You could Live Forever.
What if you were not you?

I look in the mirror
And what do I see,
I see me
No one else can be.
I am beautiful
I am glad to be me.
My hair, my face, my personality
My size, my shape
The color of my skin
All make up me
Inside and out.

This poem will be concise
As I offer this advice
If your life feels like a slog
Make friends with a helpful frog.
Ribbit.

My Name is Michelle
To sweet Juliet, Romeo once said, “A rose by any other name would still smell the same.”
My name is French for Michael
God’s warrior angel
He slayed Satan, that nasty ol’ devil.
Michael literally means “Who is like God?”
A rhetorical question, Michael asked while Satan clawed.
My name is a song
Written by the Beatles.

Drinking Dr. Pepper…
M.Roberti
Dr. Pepper hot
and
Dr. Pepper cold
Drinking Dr. Pepper never, ever gets old.
Dr. Pepper north
and
Dr. Pepper south
Drinking Dr. Pepper always quenches my mouth.
Dr. Pepper left
and
Dr. Pepper right
Drinking Dr. Pepper every day and every night.
Dr. Pepper apart
and
Dr. Pepper together
We’re drinking Dr. Pepper in all kinds of weather--
And that makes me smile.

Disingenuousness and Presumptuousness by M.G.Roberts
Here’s a little story about how one trait deceived another, because the other was too egotistical to see.
Disingenuous and Presumptuous
were the best of friends
and
Everywhere Disingenuous went,
Presumptuous would attend.
While one was Insincere,
the other was Brazen
But both were the epitome
of their lowly station.
One day, Disingenuous,
that Dishonest devil
Said to Presumptuous,
the Overconfident fellow
“I like that I’m deceitful,
and that no one can tell;
and oh! by the way
I think you are swell!”
Presumptuous was honored
by the words of his friend
And recited a little poem
of which he had penned.
There is no one in the world
that’s quite like me,
And Disingenuous, my buddy,
I know you’ll agree
That I’m greater than a mountain,
and stronger than the sea.
And when I look in the mirror,
I always laugh with glee
For I’m one of a kind,
a pure pedigree!
Disingenuous clapped
and yelled, “Bravo!”
“I’m your greatest fan,
just so you know
and I will feed you well
by inflating your ego.
Upon this I swear,
for it’s my new credo.”
Presumptuous was honored
by his buddy’s words
And together they frolicked
like a pair of nerds.
But Presumpt was egotistical,
and too arrogant to see
That Mr. Duplicitous was deceptive
and so crafty.
So Disingenuous fed his friend’s fat ego
Until some time had passed.
And
Presump’s head
grew as big as Idaho!
Well, one day there was a contest
Of which Presump was a part
He had to demonstrate his trade,
his passion, and his smarts.
And when the final time came,
To announce the winner
With bated breath
Sat both the sinners.
And when it wasn’t Presumptuous
Disingenuous rolled
LAUGHING and Guffawing
Like a treacherous troll.
But poor, sad, Presumptuous
Was as unhappy as could be
And hid his deflated head
now the size of a pea.
So let that be a lesson I hope you learn
that
Disingenuous friends will always burn…
Remember to remain always humble and true
A testament to yourself, that you are you!

Candy
By M.G.Roberts
The Institute of Confection
Is where I acquired my noble degree
Yummy was my major
And chocolate, my specialty.
As a consummate connoisseur,
And academic authority,
Non-pareils and nougat
Are delightful when
Good and Plenty.
But I have a tale to captivate
One of a happy calamity.
A chimerical story not of casserole
or a bowl of Chop Suey.
There once was a man named Oh, Henry
Who walked with a striped Candy Cane.
He fought off fierce Kit-Kats and Gummy Bears
Before achieving much fortune and fame.
His best friend was a little chap
Who went by the name--Junior-mint
And together they climbed many mountains of Mounds
And Skittles of every color and tint.
One fateful day they went a-walking,
When they suddenly came to a stop.
It was there they meet young Miss Tootsie Roll
And her sweet sister, Miss. Lollipop.
Tootsie invited them to dinner;
“But when?” asked Mr. Oh, Henry.
“Now and Later?” she exclaimed
With a Cheshire grin,
“But not before you come marry me!”
So they married right then
With all their family and friends
And shared a drink from a Peanut Butter Cup.
The M&Ms were there
Along with the little Lemon Heads
And the Dum-Dum family of pops.
The Snicker bars snickered
When it was most boldly announced
Among tears of Almond Joys.
That Miss Tootsie and Mr. Oh Henry
Would be having twins, Mike and Ike
Green and red little baby boys!
(Part Two: Peppermint Patty's Party on Fifth Avenue coming soon!)

Oh how do you know that he is full of woe
And that he is full of despair and sorrow.
By the way he hangs his head? or how he lays in his bed with his face in the pillow.
for His inner monologue is darker than the storm clouds and as wild as the wind that would cause them to billow
But his friends see happiness and joy and someone who is not easy to annoy
He puts up a facade with his smile and nod. His personality the opposite of coy
He talks friendly and is fun, someone who embodies the sun. and that the people enjoy
The people are kind and don't pay him any mind. although
He is sad and full of woe.
