Cross-Examination by My Nosy Friend

Do you have a crush on someone recently? you pry,
Girl, you sound like Sherlock, but with less alibi.

I know, I know- but are you sure? Perfectly sure?
Yes, unlike your math skills, my answers are pure.

You're not lying? I read your poems- caught my eye…
Congrats on your reading skills, do you want a pie?

a Promised land

How can a place be no fairy
And no person either
The birds are gone for food
There are no seeds, no fruits 
And no flowers blooming for hopes 

I don't mind and need not a pity 
In fact, I am indeed rattling happy
If this is a discarded land
It must be mine

Ego

Can one compose I, Me, Mine and Myself?

Are you unpretentious  hanging on to your
Ego?

Dualistic personalities is it the beast? A seeker
of pure pleasures? Guilty until proven innocent 
Amongst your peers.

Digging in the dirt is it the devil inside ?

Animal instincts reviewing  the situation at hand
Sends chills up and down one's spine.

Complexities  of

Premium MemberZany Zippy Zambo

zany zippy zambo
rarely watches Rambo
preferring cartoons
watching Saturn’s moons

persnickety ways
does not waste his days
doing what he wants and only that
brought home five dogs and one straggly cat

zany zippy zambo is the king
of doing only his own thing
he had a wife who ran away
every day for him is full of play

To Gaza people

To Gaza people
—Real Abdullah

What will i say for Gaza,
I have no anything to say
When the people of Gaza, 
Don’t get any honor- like a pet.
Then i feel bad—I'm about to cry .

The gaza is the third world,
Probably God doesn’t live there
And doesn’t stay with Gaza people. 
Gaza is alone,
The people of Gaza are all alone.

Anyone

As a submissive and passive lad

As a submissive and passive lad...

and boyish looking sexagenarian
with similar disposition,
I revel(ed) reading in general
(and spent carefree idle summer days
squirreled away with tomes
of posthumous authors)
buoyed aloft in seventh heaven
courtesy the treasure trove of books
occupying shelf space
within childhood home
at 324 Level Road
(long since razed to the ground)
and indulged passion
for the written word
as independent learning,
and both parents

Premium MemberThe Stranger

When the sun bloomed
And the bougainvillea blossomed
And her cheeks unfurled
Into a long smile
At sunset,
I had her in my arms;
I knew her. 

When the whales sprayed silhouettes,
And the fishermen made their bets;
Porpoise stitched the sea
Into a sunset dress

For her to wear at the dance
That night after we argued
About strangers.

(And please don’t talk to them
And don’t drink

Premium MemberHide and Seek Squirrel

hide and seek squirrel is a pleasure to watch if you must know
oak trees fight over him, he is clever, and has humor that glows
it’s my turn they holler to him as he begins his game play.
Shh! He shushes them. You will give my hiding place away!

Premium Memberwearing pajamas to breakfast

wear pajamas to breakfast if you can
this was said by my cute guy garbage man
he is a witty guy, this man named Stan
He said it to my dementia-teetering grandma Nan

She showed up in the cafeteria in her pajamas too
They have cartoon ponies on them in pink and blue
No one noticed, for the rest of them
