Andrew had a happy life He was happy with what he had He had a house, and his beautiful wife and he couldn't ask for more. Andrew's beautiful wife, Jenna, was a beautiful as can be She could hear and she could see but Jenna couldn't talk. Instead she spoke with her hands And Andrew always understood Jenna and Andrew were happy together And everyone knew why. One night, in the summer, when the two were asleep Andrew awoke with a start He sat straight up in bed right away And cold sweat ran down his face. He looked over at his sleeping wife and heaved an accomplished sigh Andrew then looked up to the ceiling shouting curses to his nightmare. Jenna woke up to her husbands shouting And she too, sat up in bed Loked over at her troubled spouse Whose head was in his hands. Jenna wrapped her arms around him Causing him to look up She made the signs to say 'What is wrong?' Smiling all the way. "Nothing, my love," was his reply "Just a little nightmare," Jenna put her hands on Andrew's cheeks and kissed his sweaty forehead. She then said with her hands "Don't let it get to you." She kissed her husband once again And released him from her embrace. "Women like you are on in a billion." Was the next thing Andrew said. He put his arms around her and kissed her baby-soft shoulders. Jenna asked him to tell her his dream And she would try and interpret So Andrew told her of his nightmare Then waited for her reply. "What are you hiding from me?" Jenna said through signs "Something is not right." Jenna knew that something was wrong and was determined to know what it was. Andrew knew that he was caught His wife was much too smart He heaved a tired, heavy sigh And gave her his reply. "I'm going off to fight again. I've been challenged to a duel. By that nasty jerk named Quinley And I might not come back." Jenna's face went soft after that and Andrew knew she was upset. He struggled to show no emotion As soft tears rolled down Jenna's cheeks. Jenna's muted crying melted Andrew's heart And he tried desperately to comfort her He kissed her shoulders and rubbed her back Trying hard not to cry himself. Andrew managed to convince her into resting again He consoled her til she slept. Then he too went down to sleep Clutching Jenna's hand. Well guess who came round the very next day None other than Garret Quinley To summon Andrew to their duel And to Andrew's last second. Andrew convinced Jenna that love would help him win And he'd return to her later that night. Jenna hoped what he said was true And let him leave the house. All day Jenna sat waiting Waiting for Andrew to return. Nighttime came, and Jenna retired And Andrew has not returned. Jenna knew her husband was gone And he existed only in her heart. She cried herself to sleep that night Silent tears on her pillow.

A poem written at Gage Park The wind in my hair The water up my nose The fire in my head The Earth beneath my feet All is well... A Silly Poem I like to dance In big baggy pants I wear a hat When I feel fat When I get hot My brain will rot I cast a spell 'Cuz I don't feel well I read a book In my cramped little nook I write a song That's 10 lines too long

Haiku

Kissed by a Raindrop You fall and give life And so I grin as I am Kissed by a Raindrop	Bird The bird in the sky She flies so careless and free I wish I were her...	I Watch You glide so softly Over my head every day In return, I watch...	Windy You play with my hair You cool the warm breeze You mischievous wind...
Sunshine I need desperately To feel your soothing embrace Though I can't see you	Weird Emotion What is this feeling? I feel content, yet angry. What is it I feel?	Love We are together. Our hearts brightly shine as one. I love you so much...
