To The Fall
It is raining leafs'
They
are pouring down
If
you half listen
Then, They barely make a sound.. -------- The birds' they do sing, They doth' fly south The tinny tinkling Taste of morning dew Is so prevalent... I can taste it in my mouth Poet/Author Gary Fields Slide6
Vegetarians
Vegetarians are cruel unthinking people.
Everybody knows that a carrot screams when grated.
That a peach bleeds when torn apart.
Do you believe an orange insensitive
To thumbs gouging out its flesh?
Those tomatoes spill their brains painlessly,Potatoes skinned alive and boiled,The soil's little lobsters.Don't tell me it doesn't hurtWhen peas are ripped from their overcoats,The hide flayed off sprouts,Cabbage shredded, onions beheaded.Throw in the towel and lay down the hoe.Mow no more.Let my people go!Roger McGoughSlide7

Milly
and Molly and May
Maggie and
milly
and molly and may
Went down to the beach (to play one day)And maggie discovered a shell that sangSo sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles, andMilly befriended a stranded starWhose rays five languid fingers were;And molly was chased by a horrible thingWhich raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and
May came home with a smooth round stone
As small as a world and as large as alone
For whatever we lose (like a you or me)
It’s always ourselves we find in the seaSlide10
The Eagle
HE clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.By: Alfred Lord TennysonSlide11
