Pixie within the pinkPixie within the pink
let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance
Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets.
Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...

Time lost is actually time stolenHe was barely an adult when he was entered into the system
He was an educated law abiding citizen
But due to the fact he was black
It was sympathy they lacked
He faxed a lifetime of imprisonment
And an impending death penalty
All because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time
His only crime
Was being...

A Girl's Black Hairwhen I
young I
was well
and tell
my friends
split ends
my hair
not fair
but clean
not mean
I wash
and brush
my locks
like ducks
to say
like fay
I sing
and swing
and fly
not cry
to dry
not fry
under
hot air
my own
full grown
long hair
black hair
love you
just you
sweet you
black you!

Fantasy on a RainbowSponsor : Constance Le France
Placed 3rd in Contest
on smooth hot rock I sat in REVERIE
after a HALLUCINATION drink of
mushroom, poppies and truffle
IMAGINATION soared like bald eagle
on high, throwing twin twigs with sigh
up I flew landing on a rainbow in
lucid DREAM ~
saw tinker bell fairies in...

Ghosts of Havana: A Letter from the Other SideI speak now, not with breath,
But through the bones of history,
Through palms that never bore fruit
Because your embargo starved the soil.
You feared not our weapons—
We had none to match your bombs.
You feared our ideas,
Because they burned too brightly in the dark.
Sixty-two winters and summers,
My people have walked in chains—
Not of iron,
But of isolation, hunger, and...

Green Dayswarm green days have come
and candy striped rainbow skies
buttercup surprise
bee visits red rose
near the house of gold treasure ~
sweet beyond measure
purple lilies please
through sparkling emerald days
or orange dusk rays
mornings minty fresh
yield to sage evening at last ~
and mauve mist forecast...

Thank you#Thank_you
My hat is off, gratitude to the table.
Lemme put on my dancing shoes,
this is a call for celebration.
Pop the ink out,
Painting brush, firm on my right hand,
Toss closer the rainbow colours
Wanna pour my heart out,
on this poetic board.
Drip of smile,
drizzle of love and
some dash of happiness.
See the driping joy...

Fulcrum of a RoseLine of inquiry: track where lies the fulcrum of the fragrance of a rose, then likewise find within, your soul.
Souls arrive on earth compelled to survive dramatic impacts.
Each child of spirit will eventually reach for reasons to be here.
Living finds the soul striving for intangible roots, tangibly real.
Foundations are sought to lead, gift and...

THE WORTH OF WORDSI drifted as a cloud
That floats above the hills
And then I saw a crowd
Of brilliant bluebells
There blowing in the breeze
Now comes burst of sunshine
A sight for all to please
And I am feeling fine
Then soon the sun sinks low
And takes the light away
End of the daylight show
But now comes Milky Way.

Changing worldChanging world?
In Peru, they import potatoes
In Guatemala, they plant thousands of trees
drink cacao, sit in groups, and sing
think they are new agers
the new war in The Middle East began
because Israel saw the need to attack
Iran, this to defend itself
Netanyahu is in uproar with the Iranians
has bombed a hospital
A Jewish lady tells me about the killings...

ShineWhy it shines I’ll never know –
Gold is known to sparkle
Diamonds too
And though the shine colors me blind
It’s just a twinkle in my eye
But just a twinkle is enough –
I stoop and pick the penny up...

Our Industriously Lazy OrbThe sun wakes slow, a golden yawn,
Stretching light across the dawn,
Soft and warm, with rays that creep
Through windowed eyes from gentle sleep.
It drifts and dances, dips and hides,
Plays peekaboo with clouds that glide,
Bright beams spill in scattered showers,
Kissing earth and blooming flowers.
It tricks the colors, bends the hue,
From green to gold, to deepest blue,
Tickling the...
