My name is Margaret Dorste, and I live in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. Even as a child I enjoyed writing poetry. Now that I am a semi-retired teacher, I have more time to express my feelings about issues that are close to my heart through poetry: family, children, nature, and the environment.
As I lie on my back,
Gazing up at the sky.
I see two fleecy lambs,
Bounding by.
And all of a sudden,
What do I see?
Why, a big polar bear,
Glaring down at me.
Now there’s a dragon,
Breathing white fire.
And it’s replaced in a poof!
By a monkey swinging in a tire.
The parade continues,
With a ship floating on a white sea.
Then there’s an elephant,
Waving its trunk at me.
Watching the clouds is so much fun,
They are whatever you want to see.
All that is needed,
Is to let your imagination run free.
