the Italian language
The Italian language I would like to immigrate from Portugal to Italy After ten o'clock at night, I switch on the TV  and watch an Italian soap opera  I don't understand a word of what the actors say, but it is the way they say it, no hard  Consonant, no one is asked to stand to attention For a comma, a full...

Premium Member Dolphins and Whales at Play
The humpbacks rolled in the morning light. Grey whales churned the seas silver-bright. Dolphins dancing in their foamy trails. Riding the bows of frolicking whales. Heave Ho, the sea runs free. Dolphins and whales in harmony. Heave Ho, the sea runs free. Finny friends enjoying their play. Belly to belly, and fin to fin, Pectoral slaps as the games begin. Slow meandering, entwining their streams, Happy...

We find soundness of reason and justice only occasionally. Many a poet says the world is the right place for love and peace, But perhaps...

She Was Never Born, She Simply Returned
She did not fall— She flowed. From the breathless stars to the edge of form, She shimmered between sound and silence, Becoming light before becoming skin. She walked the void barefoot, Carving paths in places the sky forgot, Speaking in colors the earth hadn’t learned to see. She was music before voice, Fire before flame, Knowing before name. In lives long buried in salt and smoke, She...

Body Language
Putting my best foot forward shoulder to the wheel nose to the grindstone my Achilles heel while sticking my neck out I soon found as with my eye on the ball ear to the ground when I put my back into it not with tongue in cheek but to keep my chin up heard joints creak the onset of old age memory loss an early taste for in the end...
