WTC Remember Temba
Lovingly lauded.. they marauded.. rightly applauded
Saffa gaffers did thrill
Willow wielding wizards of Oz
Yielding…lampooned..marooned..jaffas
Festooned spill just like Seville .
Must remember..the ember burning
Yearning of Temba Bavuma
Kept his sense of humour
Despite being the victim of flimsy whimsy
Many a nasty rumour
I implore you to ignore the tumour
That is Michael Vaughan…dim..grim
Pompous pig or obnoxious prig
Having a

Eleven
The eleventh month, November, the month that takes a breath,
As it's waiting. Waiting for a fickle sun to decide.
Though sun's decision ever is to skim the sky with stealth,
As if a painter's hand the vibrant stars of night has 'plied.
The short days of muted light unwrap autumn's cold beauty,
While thick blankets on a bed ensure

The car crash killed him and his ex-wife who was named Stacy Brooks.
He was driving over a hundred miles per hour at midnight, that was really fast.
Stacy died instantly but her ex-husband died

My Birthday
I set the whole world on fire with my dreams
And use the flame to light a birthday candles
Holding a promise and fulfillment of my dreams
And the accomplishments of some special plans
Many astonishing years have passed by
As I actually look younger by the day
But the spirit is still the same invariably
And I know, I

Lockdown- 25th Day
Have to go forever leaving this dark home
feeling sorrow that nobody will know my last
Silently risen meteor will go to dark gravity burst
Won't update last words of tears before love junction
From unspoken brine won't breathe the last sensation
Won't see nearest blood if this ominous mission keep going on
slowly green to ripe and towards withered
hungriness in

Written: By Tom Wright
I only hear the silence as I stride,
twixt granite chairs neatly set in rows.
The 168 chairs epitomize each life,
now neath a sea of grass that grows.
Today my psyche visits this place,
albeit, here, their Spirits do not rest.
However, a Monument and Reflection pool,
usher memories, as if

Congratulations and OPA to the Greek
nation,
Which suffered 400 years of Turkish
domination.
And now you are free!!
Light the Saganaki, pass those very
luscious stuffed grape leaves,too.
Let's have some Mavrodafni and
Have more than a circle dance or two!

25 Years Together
You both have been together
For such a long time.
Many more years to follow
I hope you both will find.
Your love has always lasted
It may not have been the best
But you've still got each other
To help get through the rest.
Twenty five years is a long ,
Long time for two people
to be together.
To hold each

The 25th Floor
Mommy, he hurt me
Somewhere deep inside
I felt her pain
But I couldn’t stop her tears
I searched for someone
Anyone who could make things right again
A friend who might help us
To overcome what has been done
To her, to me
And to all those involved in her life
We were reaching out for that lifeline
Dying within ourselves
No one was there
And no

25th December, 0ce
Behold the Christ child is born this day,
just as the prophets of old did say.
In a manger on the cozy hay
did his infant Lordship choose to stay.
No cradle by a thousand kings paid
for, would befit his divine highness
whose crown is celestial and priceless,
glowing with gems of regal brightness.
Yet in a manger so low he laid.
Behold

Happy 25th Anniversary
Today marks the 25th year of our marriage.
Although 25th years may seem like a
short time to others.
But nevertheless- love is not measure by a period of time, but in timeless moments.
And our 25th years have been the wondrous and blessing years to be glad.
Darling, we score more than others did!
A few milestones down and

Jean, Jean wis young an' alive till Ah gied her tatties and neeps;

25th Birthday
A quarter “C” has past
Since you opened your eyes to see
The cooties and spiders
That will haunt you throughout your eternity.
Then there was your smile,
A smile like no other,
A smile that continues to give great joy,
To both me and your mother.

July 25th Day of Time Out
On July 25 walking up the mountain that is sacred to the Wamapoke in PA,
since I could not make it to the Mayan Temples in Mexico.
I was out of breath because my body was too heavy to carry my own weight
But I rose early that morning and I was determined to honor the Day of
