How Many Seconds?
How many second in a minute?Sixty, and no more in it.How many minutes in an hour?Sixty for sun and shower.How many hours in a day?Twenty –four for word and play.How many days in a week?Seven both to hear and speak.How many weeks in a month?Four, as the swift moon runneth.How many months in a year?Twelve the almanack makes clear.How many years in an age?One hundred says the sage.How many ages in time?No one knows the rhyme.

PoetryBare Feet and Dog
Lovey, my chocolate Lab, Swims in the creekShakes water on my feelThumps her tail on my feetSteps on my feetTangles up her leash in my feetSlurps water from her bowl thenLicks my feet.
She has beautiful eyes and a loud barkShe’s afraid of thunder but not the darkLovey is there for me and always sweetI love her from my head down to my sore, wet feet.

Poetry
The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;Close to the sun in lonely lands,Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;He watches from his mountain walls,And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Poetry
White Butterflies
Fly, white butterflies, out to seas,Frail pale wings for the winds to try.Small white wings that we scarce can seeFly.
Here and there may a chance-caught eyeNote in a score of you twain or threeBrighter or darker of tinge of dye.
Some fly light as a laugh of glee,Some fly soft as a low long sigh:All to the haven where each would beFly.
