Buddy Boy (In memory of my beloved cat)
I still spend a lot of time thinking about Stormy, and this poem expresses my thoughts. Note: If you are interested in reading about the Rainbow Bridge, see here: http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm

Of The Sycamore Fit To Be Loved
This is another love poem, but instead of using my “obscure” format, I decided to go with an extended metaphor.
Like this:
The Camera Man Can
This is a parody I wrote of the song “The Candyman Can” from the film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. My version is about my love of traditional photography.

Secret Someone
Here is yet another “obscure love poem” for your reading pleasure. Please note that the 4th word is intentionally misspelled.*
*This is a hint as to the “obscure” formula that I use to write these poems.
The Book That Is My Life
Here is a slightly older poem of which I am rather proud, now that I’ve rediscovered it in my poetry archives. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

“Go The Distance” by Guest Blogger Holly of “Rust Belt Runner”
Please welcome Holly to the Journal for this special guest post, as she makes her fantastic first attempt at writing poetry! (You can read my guest post on her blog here: http://rustbeltrunner.com/2011/11/28-pounds-and-shrinking/)
Greetings! I’m Holly, the Cleveland writer behind “Rust Belt Runner,” a blog documenting my journey with running, yoga and healthy living. As part of the Ohio Blogging Association November Blog Swap, today I am taking a stab at poetry.
While I have been a fan of the written word ever since I took my first English class in elementary school, poetry has never been my forte. I even majored in journalism and have spent my professional career writing for newspapers, websites, companies and now also my blog — but during that time I have never written a poem. Showcasing my love for running, I present you with a poem about my favorite sport.
