An End<\/p>\n

1.Ending means excitement<\/p>\n

wait is over<\/p>\n

Baby arrives<\/p>\n

Christmas is here<\/p>\n

Paradise claimed<\/p>\n

Celebration begins<\/p>\n

2.\u2014never forget<\/p>\n

I can never forget<\/p>\n

So, the day began<\/p>\n

as always with a call from the nurse<\/p>\n

at my doorway<\/p>\n

not sure where I am<\/p>\n

or why there is a nurse calling to me<\/p>\n

the breakfast tray comes<\/p>\n

the eggs look familiar<\/p>\n

taste like nothing<\/p>\n

didn;t I have this same meal<\/p>\n

yesterday?<\/p>\n

or another day?<\/p>\n

A cheerful young woman<\/p>\n

fluffs my pillow as I sit<\/p>\n

up and murmmurs something<\/p>\n

about activities<\/p>\n

she seems familiar.<\/p>\n

Still another girl<\/p>\n

cones in to help me dress.<\/p>\n

When did I acquire servants?<\/p>\n

Around mid-day I hear something<\/p>\n

something that indeed I do recognize<\/p>\n

a voice.<\/p>\n

“Hi Mom, How are you today?”<\/p>\n

A kiss.<\/p>\n

She loves me. It;s my daughter.<\/p>\n

That I never can forget.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  1. Before Darkness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sky colors burst into a riot of red and purple<\/p>\n

    Birds streaked by on their way home<\/p>\n

    I spied a sliver of moon in the bit of blue<\/p>\n

    remaining<\/p>\n

    then sun closed down his light<\/p>\n

    disappearing into the water<\/p>\n

    Horizon line blurred as dark water and dark sky<\/p>\n

    slowly became one<\/p>\n

    as darkness spread.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4.Write a ten line poem<\/p>\n

    Then add ten more, interspersed<\/p>\n

    Then take away eight<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Who is sleeping<\/p>\n

    I woke up in the middle of the night<\/p>\n

    The frogs were calling out<\/p>\n

    So loudly<\/p>\n

    I loked out side the window<\/p>\n

    Saw a cat by the endege of the pon<\/p>\n

    Was he awtcing for a stry carp<\/p>\n

    Those were mostly heron prey<\/p>\n

    Was he watching for a frog<\/p>\n

    Was that to be his food today<\/p>\n

    Itappedn onteh window pane<\/p>\n

    ——–oops I have exceeded the ten<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    To see if when I saw his face<\/p>\n

    I would rcognixe the cat<\/p>\n

    As coming from someone someplace<\/p>\n

    I knew<\/p>\n

    For someohoen that feline<\/p>\n

    Shape<\/p>\n

    Silver fur\u00a0 under silver moon seemed quite<\/p>\n

    Familiar to me<\/p>\n

    Then I have to bring it to an end<\/p>\n

    What happens when the cat turns toward me<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
