Anderson Atlas is an author and illustrator in Arizona

I’m an author / illustrator and have been since I was a wee babe. My days consist of sitting around the fire, recounting epics of giants and hidden fairies while exploring the sacred mountains east of the moors. I’ve crossed the forbidden boundaries, explored the dark dungeons, and returned to tell the tales.

Came Across Old Poems

Just for fun I thought I’d post some old poems. not great, but not too bad either 🙂

My walk 

Mom always said pay your taxes

Dad always took the cake out five minutes early

I let my hair grow long just to get a job

And bought $200 loafers to run in 

I’m not sure 1+1 = 2 and yet that’s the only answer I can come up with

Life is not too confusing when I’m writing it down

But whether or not you are blazing new trail or following the one left behind it’s OK to peak over your neighbor’s wall from time to time.

 

Treasures in the ocean

I do believe there are treasures in the sea

Treasures That have not been seen In a long long time

Diamonds, gold, gems galore

Time has lost much forever more

But what if my toes sink deep in the sand 

and step on an old Skeleton hand

Clutching a pistol wearing a ruby ring

Hmmm, often at the beach I think of this thing

Coal Mine

Sometimes covered in paint,

But my canvas is blank      

Oh, I long for a canary in a coal mine.
