Transcript of McBride Poetry Anthology
Ode to nature
Mother she cares of the nature she bare
ocean so bright From the glint of her light
Trees so green From these we lean The source of life
Yet we cut them with a knife Everything living Can be so giving
So she saves what she can But some we overran
Nature should be free But seems like we give a decree
Fun n’ games Jumping off walls
Or playing with dolls The swing you can sore So we wouldn't bore Not easy to appease
Some parents do it with ease The tree with our castles
Kings and queens that are hassles Running, cartwheels, and hopping
Kickball rough housing non-stopping Water balloons galore Never doing a chore Scraped and hurt
Always loving the dirt In the end we would go to sleep Asking for water then not a peep
next thing you know your getting old But those memories you'll always hold
At heart you'll always be Young and as always free
Falling free
Falling falling I am hauling
Floating to the bottom Sinking to the top
Falling without your decree It may be free
Or make me want tea The last wave crashing
No one lashing Octopi dancing
Reindeer prancing So free
wouldn't it be Elephants cart wheeling Mothers smart mealing
Turtle so cunning Sloths running
So free couldn't it be
See me My body is a shell
to those who don't know me
On the outside they see The little things I let free
and sometimes that’s not even me I am so shy so shield what's inside
Through silence I try So no one can see
who I can really be My pencils the only thing that
gets the most out of me Through my drawings you see
a sliver set free By the real part you want of me
The longer you spend knocking on my shell
You start to see the things I do let free
No light
you think you're so bright
But you don't see the light
Of all of the might
So dim is your sight
That you cant see the light
You say you have height
But you're not contrite
So naïve is your dim sight
That you cant see true light
Beauty of things
Drawing through me Is everything I see These I am free
Its what I like to be To get lost in the will
Cards to not deal The mind is so loud
Like dancing on a cloud A vibrant escape
As fun as duct tape You see drawings
I see drawer wings Its what's in me
Things you can’t see
