My Momma
A free verse poem dedicated to animals
My momma loves me.
My momma cares for me.
My momma feeds me.
My momma doesn’t diet.
My momma doesn’t need drugs.
My momma isn’t fashionable.
My momma doesn’t need electronics.
My momma knows where I am.
My momma’s family is close by.
My momma says that perhaps
Mankind can learn from her,
and all the other animals, because
The only things she fears is them.
The destruction they cause in
The environment and the world.
My momma says mankind is supposed
To be higher order thinkers, but
The animals seem to be smarter.
My momma says that mankind is suffering
because of their choices.
If only mankind could learn from
My momma.

Lunch Break – A Tanka
Break room here I come.
Reaching in the fridge for lunch,
Warming my food.
Thirty minutes. Eat quick!
Head back to finish the day.
