Cats

A cat can crouch, crash, and crawl
Or creep, cringe and cry out,
Causing concern and crisis,
Cunningly creating confusion.

Sea Calm by Langston Hughes

How still,
How strangely still
The water is today.
It is not good
For water
To be so still that way.

Autumn Thought by Langston Hughes

Flowers are happy in summer.
In autumn they die and are blown away.
Dry and withered,
Their petals dance on the wind
Like little brown butterflies.
