Starting Trouble
It’s a totally boring day. I’m sure it will anger my mother, But there’s nothing better to do; I’ll pick a fight with my brother. On second thought, a fight Might not be so fun; My brother’s a lot bigger. I’m the little one. He’ll get really mad, And chase me down the hall. He’ll twist me like a pretzel And bounce me like a ball. I will not start…
Two Sisters Talking
While one sister talks, The other will chatter. What are they saying? Does it really matter? No topic for them is so small That they have nothing to say. They’ll debate something all night, Then discuss it the whole next day. School, homework, TV shows, Food, clothes, bothersome boys, Hot or cold, the weather, of course, Computer games, and wished-for toys. Did you see so and so last night? Who…

Ode to Mr. J’s
Mr. J’s sells delicious snacks, But it’s more than a donut store. I can’t describe the joy I feel When I walk through Mr. J’s door. It’s a little slice of heaven, A preview of paradise. The donuts are totally awesome, And the owners are very nice. You can tell when I’ve been to Mr. J’s, When I’ve visited that amazing place. There is a gleam in my eye, and…
I Dream of In-N-Out
I really love In-N-Out burgers. I’m convinced they are the best. They’re the burger I look for Whenever I travel out West. I devour Double-Doubles, I flip for their fries. Thick, creamy shakes bring Tears of joy to my eyes. I start to smack my lips As I walk through the door. There’s nothing like fries, animal style, A shake, and a 4 x 4. As I finish my meal,…
East Bay Children’s Book Project
Everyone deserves a chance For a quality education That builds a fair society, Leads to a better nation. Some good folks got busy When they found out there was a need. They realized there were children Who didn’t have books to read. They gathered up a bunch of books, Organized them on shelves. They’re great community helpers. You might call them literacy elves. What they do is hard work That…
Cirque Du Soliel
Some jump the highest jumps; Others tumble and roll. Some swing on the trapeze; Their grace stirs my soul. Can humans really do that? I think as I clap and gasp. I’m sure I’d be terrified To swing in someone’s grasp They remind me of birds Or otters at play. I’m always enthralled At Cirque Du Soliel! Bruce Larkin Click Here To See More Poems
