Warning: <br />Morphine slowly <br />Smothers the breath of life <br />And brings the sleep of death...ready <br />Or not. <br /> <br />He brought <br />Home a puppy. <br />I feed, groom, and walk her. <br />I play with her....He loves her....She <br />Loves me. <br /> <br />Pine tree <br />Quietly stands <br />Laden with snow....then bows. <br />Oak tree creaks and groans in the wind.... <br />Then snaps! <br /> <br />I hate <br />Bigotry...I <br />Hate ignorance...abuse. <br />I hate wastefulness...Yes, I hate. <br />Do you?<br /><br />Pene Burkey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cinquain-2006/
