Poetry by Jeff


The home of the dreams
can make it seem we're free
but in Texas is always free
Texas is calm like the sea
home of the brave land of the free
Texas the gentle giant
know me for who I am
a brave soul and strong man

Poetry by Monica

















I ponder the pineapple
Never seen where they grow
I think its high above my head
OUCH what if it falls and hits my head
would the spikes drill into my skull,
I'd become even more dull
so I just decided I don't care to go
where the pineapple grow

Written by Monica in the Tuesday Poetry Class
