Deer standing
Unaware of fate
Munching on grass

Oblivious
Hunter aims carefully
BOOM!
Nervously
Excitedly
Gets down on one knee

My favorite doctor is House.
He’s single with no spouse
The show is contagious
Since his humor is bodacious.
Nacho Libre is a wonderful caretaker
To the children he is a friend and baker
To wear stretchy pants is their goal
His recreation clothes haunt my soul
O dear Westley, the hero to Buttercup
Went to defeat Rugen to tell him wuz up
With the help of Fezzik, his giant friend
This fairytale story did happily end

Creeper Love (No people were harmed in the creation of this poem)
I can see you through the window
You really do look good
Loving you is all I know
I should stop, I really should
I could watch you all day
I’m sorry, I can’t keep my feelings at bay
You make my world complete
I watch you by your window seat
You make my life complete

Facing the Facts
She waited for him, though his arrival looked dim
It appeared he was really gone
Just last night, they had a fight
He always said she was his only one
Dreams were shattered, she thought she mattered
But I guess she always knew
Never did he need, he was all about greed
It’s obvious their love is through
