Premium Member dead eyes

 I open darken eyes
once,
the coins
have expired.

Come to conscious,
of the monstrous,
I wish,
I could never be.

Swans are gentle
like un-conditional
love of pups
we bring into the world.

This world 
makes me mad
the fog of evil,
due to the on-going 
devil
taking control of rich
mad of fools.

One day a year,
was a fantasy 
to disappear,
No harm
 to a special time,
blowing out 
candle rhymes,
wishing upon a star,
to dreams,
that we wish
to come true.....
We still have hope.

Premium Member Youthful reverie

Seventeen candles on her cake
the world awaits with all it offers
~ a bouquet of budding dreams

Premium Member new bicycle

today I believe
is the best
day of my life,
built of hills
man-made
like a dream
my new bicycle
flies down over
the bumps of greens,
of front yards,
flattening
the flowers,
with crystals
in my eyes,
And for lunch
is a party
with all the kids,
at Hungry Jacks,
with ice-cream cake
and make-a-wish candles,
yummy junk food burgers
and salty as pretzel chips.
A memory forever engrained
until the day that I die...


Five Days Late

Five days late…
His birthday almost forgot-
but not quite…

The hurt lingered deep.

A small package arrived
addressed to him--
Special
from Dad.

Inside: a watch.
A big boy gift,
for sure.

Gold and bright,
crystal light,
backstamped RollX--
a boy’s treasure,
for sure

Too large for his wrist.
No matter.
He would grow tall,
just like his Dad.

The watch was perfect,
just like it was,

Worn each day with pride--
a symbol 
of genuine love and dedication…

How priceless 
he was in Dad’s eyes…

Proof.

Scratches 
and a flaking finish 
didn’t matter.
Neither did 
the crack across the face,
or the fact 
that it always read 
a bit after two.

A good polish--
and it was 
good as new.

Like the day 
he got it.

Five days late.

pretty amazing

It is never too late,
My birthday gift,
Is the most beautiful that I received,
My sister, my brother-in-law and I,
Let’s cross France, on Monday
Went to Giverny on Tuesday
We visited the garden and the house
By Claude Monet, the painter,
Somme went to Paris on Wednesday
We visited the Musée de l'Orangerie,
To see Monet’s water lilies,
In two immense and oval rooms,
It was pretty amazing!
We tasted the Tuileries garden
among some Chinese tourists, 
Then we left Paris in the afternoon,
The next day in the Mayenne
We visited the Robert Tatin museum,
Then we left for Brest
Here is a birthday gift
That I will never forget,
It was pretty amazing!

Premium Member Seems Like Yesterday Mystic

It seems like yesterday.
When you were to be our first born
We waited for your birth
Two brand new grandmothers that morn.

You took your time, but then we knew.
You had arrived safely and sound
We each held you our precious girl.
Our smiles and joy they knew no bound.

You are our great delight.
 We’ve watched you grow up through the years.
 A woman you’ve become.
 Our love shines brightly through our tears.

With tears of happiness 
Congratulations we both say!
Now Twenty-One, how can that be.
It seems like Yesterday.


Birthday poem

Is age really just a number
With no money no slumber
When birthdays were a fun
Why now I feel that I am done
For each year I used to wait
Now each year appear as bait
When kith and kin were all fam
When we all were herd of ram
When Aunt was another mom
And well enacted the rom com
When Dadu play my super spine
When he’s there for every dine
When love gets lost in labour
No kin, no trust  and no favour
In chamber of thorn in all line
Where wonder i if all is fine
In drums of drama’n distance
In every heart there is a fence
A hope resides like star shine
In million miles i may get mine!

John Brown's 55th BIrthday

Today would've been his birthday but he didn't survive.
If John hadn't died, today he would've turned fifty-five.
He started by smoking pot and then he decided to start doing Meth.
That stuff is nasty and it didn't surprise me when it caused his death.
John angered some people because he stole from them.
When he died because of drugs, it was both sad and grim.
I'm very sorry that he died even though he stole from me.
He can never steal or do drugs again because he's gone for eternity.


[Dedicated to John W. Brown (1970-2019) who died on June 3, 2019]

what music can do

What music can do 

Last night, all night, I listened to music
and my heart cried not in sorrow but
It flew away and soared in the beauty
of the human voice
No. I was not there in person, but that
Didn't matter; it was about the beauty
of us, yes, we are a great race, so
Why the hatred that is on those
who hate to hear our jubilant voice
I'm a poet dreaming that I once could
Write a poem bringing humanity into
a circle of love

Russet Moon

Russet Moon 

The moon tonight had a promise
of turning russet
When I looked up, the moon was
full and yellow and had a smile
on a round happy face
What can I say? Was I too late to 
See what Planet Watchers had 
longed for
Since from the kitchen window
It was the best place to observe
The moon, I made a cheese sarnie 
and a glass of low-fat milk.

Dirty shoe steps

Your shoes are getting shabby
over time and the story that has been spun
Do you still remember the drawing paper and brush?
I painted the colors that were dark at the time
Then we drew together
In flowing, abstract strokes

Ahh, I remember so well
The field across from our classroom
15 years old in the drizzle
The first piece of cake you took from my hand
And a book that made us dizzy

We were still so young
With hearts clean and untainted by love
Still pure in the grip of friendship

Will you remember it well?
Two young people now fragile in adulthood
And if I reach out
To just be friends again
At least we won't fall into despair

Premium Member I had big plans today

I had big plans today
so far, I have accomplished none of them.
I hope to do a better job tomorrow.
Going on a six-hour trip interstate to interstate.
driving from Kansas City to Iowa City to see my twin sister.
The ultimate goal is to celebrate our 73rd birthday together.
I am resting up today, readying myself for this horrific car ride.

BORN IN NINE ELEVEN

Crack...Boom!
Is it the Big bang...
Or the boom of 9/11,
Everyone goes deaf,

Tears and teeth are out
Are these tears of joy?
Are these teeth of smile?
Is it the beginning or the end?

One boom gave life_
Another took it, and...
For the boy the boom collided 
Somehow, he made it out alive.

A miracle, isn't it? a joy in chaos 
Luckily it was in USA with U silent.

Happy 40th birthday

Keeto the apple of my eye,
Centre of attraction, smart yet shy,
The little diamond - handsome and naughty,
A new milestone- my baby prince turns 40!

Creeping into mom and my heart,
Always loved and admired though far apart,
Champion in golf, colorful in art,
Keeto! My little star is class apart!!

Full of empathy and very humble,
Smart and stunning, yet so simple,
With soft blue eyes that always sparkle,
With a cute smile he flashes those dimples!

Exemplary and radiant like the sun,
Keeto my precious gem is second to none,
Versatile and talented rolled into one,
Admired, cherished, adored & envied by everyone. 

Born from my heart, to my mum he is a son,
Shining bright like the midnight sun ,
He is a superstar, pumpkin photo award he won,
He is extra ordinary , my scottish little one..

Reaching a new milestone, on a new journey he embarks,
Leaving his footprints on different landmarks,
With exuberance he defines benchmarks,
Well aware ,CEO position for him is earmarked 

On his Ruby Jubilee today,
Mom and Rima from far away,
From our hearts where he stays,
We shout loud Keeto Happy Birthday!!!
