That is really warm. Very pretty

Timid and shy

Powerful and fast

Hiding in the tallest grass


Tiny ears, amber eyes

In the sun the cheetah lies


When the cheetah

Senses danger

He prepares to fight the stranger


When the cheetah eats his prey

The lions and the leopards

Often take it away


Then the cheetah has no food,

Because the lions and the leopards

Were so rude


So please understand the cheetah's plight,

For if you shoot him it won't be right


So don't let the cheetah become extinct,

It's the most beautiful animal on earth,

I think

(The Cheetah by Julie Ann de Villiers, Age 14 (1994)

I have two. One's a bit silly, and the other, is a sort of heroic tale, one of four parts. I'll post the latter later. :3

"Twinkle twinkle, little bird...
How I wonder what you've heard!
Up atop my head you're high,
Like a stoner trying to fly!
Twinkle twinkle... Twinkle twinkle..."

I think I read that somewhere else...

Gaia? Only place I posted my poem.

In autumn when the trees are brown
The little leaves come tumbling down
They do not make the slightest sound
But lie so quietly on the ground
Until the wind comes puffing by
And blows them off towards the sky.



The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you
like the leaves of Autumn.

Fall poem by John Muir



Pretty Leaves
Pretty leaves are falling down,
Green, orange, yellow and brown.
Here comes one colored red,
It landed on my head.



Pumpkins in the cornfields
Gold among the brown
Leaves of rust and scarlet
Trembling slowly down
Birds that travel southward
Lovely time to play
Nothing is as pleasant
As an autumn day!




No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
as I have seen in one autumnal face

Autumn quote by John Donne



When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running

It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running



Leaves in the Fall come tumbling down,
Scarlet and yellow, russet and brown,
Leaves in the garden are swept in a heap,
The trees are ready for sleep.



A fallen leaf is nothing more
than a summers wave good bye

I dont remember where, but maibe it was...

Be With Me

Oh love of my life,
My reason for being,
Stay with me
By my side eternally.
The days that have passed between us
Have seemed like mere seconds
Compared to the life I want
For us both
In the future.
Do not take my words lightly
And cast them aside
At a first glance;
Put them into memory—
Into Thought’s Chamber.
Take kindly the shoulder
I provided you in the past
For leaning on.
I’ll do anything you ask of me,
No matter what the price,
Even if my only reward is a smile,
My love would grow even more…

~*Hidden Here*~

Here in your arms I am hidden,
In your stare I am drowning,
On your lips I am melting.

Forever more I am prisoner to your soul,
my devotion,
our completeness.

Continually I am here,
Trapped if only by my will.
And crying at the way you love me.

So if all I remember is your scent,
your feel,
your laugh.
I can bear it,

Forever more.....
I am here,
Hidden in your love as deep as the seven seas.
