A bird on a branch,
near the tree top.
Wind started blowing
and he feared he'd drop.
He looked down at the ground
and it gave him a fright.
So he took to the sky...
to escape the height.

The frog and the turtle,
sitting on a log.
It began to rain
on the turtle and frog.
Their minds got disturbed
They started to fret
And jumped in the pond...
so they wouldn't get wet.

Jane loved Bobby
and Bob loved Jane
But Jane couldn't bare
anymore pain.
Giving her heart
made her scared.
It only got broken,
every time she dared.
So she pulled back
and pushed him away.
Lived all alone
'til her dying day.
Cried day and night
'til they laid her in the dirt.
Wrapped in sorrow...
so she wouldn't get hurt.

This is so profound but with that wonderful sense of humor I enjoy so much in your poetry, Uriah.

Yo XOx Uriah xOX,

This poem says a lot.  That's the way it is with Janes.  When will they ever learn?

Uriah~
Your write made me think that perhaps poor Jane took on the persona of the turtle ... withdrawing into her shell~
How sad~

Wisdom in your ink this day dear poet~
