FLOWER PETALS
Rhymes, Tales, and Poems from Starflower's Garden



<<>><<>><<>>

I go outside
near the tide
and play,
play all day.

                     Nothing in this World

  As the wind blows,
I walk up on the sand,
 As the seas roar,
I look up at the beautiful land;
The water is clashing,
The wind is slashing,
But I know a secret about me:

I am afraid of nothing in this world,

Nothing in this world.

                  The Moon and the Sun
          
 
          The sun is bright, the sun is hot,
            The sun brings heat to the earth.

          The moon is gray, the moon is dark
          The moon brings darkness to the earth.
            The moon brings darkness to the earth.

          

                   Pictures

         Pictures, pictures,
 beautiful pictures,
some are red some are blue,
some are even full of glue.

So get a picture
  mixture,
TODAY!
'cause you'll only have too pay,
ei-ghty dollars
                     ei-ghty dollars.
And the glu-e
 will only cost yo-u,
ei-ghty dollars,
                      ei-ghty dollars!

                
 

 
The Lioness

The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce;
She keeps her young from harm.
The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce,
Beautiful as a charm.

The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce,
Finds food to feed her young,
The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce,
Makes the bed they are among.

The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce;
She keeps her young from harm.
The Lioness, the Lioness,
Quick and fierce,
Beautiful as a charm.


                                                      

                                              Haiku

                                      
Starflower sits, stares.
                               The thing stares back at her eyes,
                                       Wins staring contest.



Wishing Animals

I wish I had a purple emu,
His name would be Pinky Pie,
I wish I had a unicorn,
His horn would be beautiful,
I wish I had a fire-lizard,
His eyes wild, but kind.

                 

         
                     Beautiful Mountain
A triolet

The mountain sparkling in the sun,
It gives such glory to the heart;
At sight of it I long to run,
The mountain sparkling in the sun.
As if a flight has just begun -
I'm lifted up right from the start.
The mountain sparkling in the sun,
It gives such glory to the heart.


          







  Majestic purple mountains


Twinkling Stars

Twinkles of light
Flashes of beauty
Bringing shine to the sky,
It lightens the hearts of sorrow,
The bringing of glory and joy.

Stars are twinkling in the sky,
Shining with beauty up so high,
Stars are shiny, silver and gold,
To bring the night, so loving and cold.

The joy of the night,
The joy of the light,
The glory of the heavens above,
I see the stars sparkling bright
To bring joy to the hearts of men.


Within Me

I feel a song of joy singing loud and clear,
I feel it great, no fear.
Within, within, within me,
Within, within, within me.

The birds sing songs of love,
Like the peaceful, graceful doves,
Within, within, within me,
Within, within, within me.

The things I teasure so,
I will never let them go;
Within, within, within me,
Within, within, within me.



Wildflowers
Queen of Earth and Sky

Dark as a shadow
Unseen by light
Quiet as the air
unheard of to fight
Never seen by men
Only trees and sky
Name is known to none
Queen of earth and sky


Life of Sorrow

Child is born

Father is so proud
Baby in the cradle
Tender loving care
Father loves the son
And son loves the father
He shall grow strong like the other

Baby is Boy
Boy sits at door
Watches father leave
Father leave to war
Little does he know
That his father who he loves
Shall never be seen
by his son again

Boy is Man
The war is ended
Many soldiers pass
Man watches for his father
Parade is over
Father is not there
Love's forever lost
Tears are falling down

Man is Elder
Father is still gone
Elder misses father
Sometimes tears will fall
Sometimes joy will be
But for his life father's gone
And his whole life it did feel
like it was eternity



Just a Dream

A mountain tip
In the sun,
An eagle flying high.
I'm flying too,
It feels so real,
Could this be so true?

It just can't be a dream
It just is so real,
Is it possible,
Is it possible
It's just a dream?

A shining star,
Twinkling,
Fallen from the sky.
I go to it,
It looks so real.
Could this be so true?

It just can't be a dream.
It just is so real
Is it possible,
Is it possible
It's just a dream.

It's just a dream.
