Best 68 Poems

I remember 
so well 
the friends 
that I made
when childhood 
was wrapped 
in blue sky

but I cannot
remember 
the last time 
we played
 - and whether 
we all said 
goodbye....

 cherry blossoms drift

upon the wooden casket

life after life



In memory of our dear souper friend Lucilla Carillo,and my husband's cousin
David Chircop who finished this journey ,to start a better one.
May your fragrance of love bloom  in the highest of skies as it did on...

Haiku 68
		
		
	storms raging
	breached levees of sanity
	lives swept away
	
	
	rain-swollen river
	lost in swirling darkness
	madness in their eyes


	receding waters
	absent, some forgotten
	voids where they once were
	

	my awakened heart...

Sparkling sugar tops
Song about a cold winter
Frost is in the air

The first snowflake kiss
Happy first day of winter
Let me warm my heart

Now my freedom spent,
My life before lies,
And life behind I cherish still
And keep thoughts of it most dear.

I turn again and go beyond
To seek with partner found,
And search together on and on
"Till death does part our bound....

COPLA 68 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World

We drop from the filthiest parts
End up wanting to get back in:
Sense of humour

Thank You! For keeping the head’s thoughts
Far from losing face in within
Though women sour

The rest of Life’s littered obstruction
You put in place just to surmount:
Care for...

Monterey Pop,
Or I'm one years old, 
The Chicago 7, or

They say, Allah has got a son!
Whereas He is the Most Sacrosanct 
And the Self-Sufficient One.
Everything that is in the skies 
And the earth belongs to God.
You have no proof to show!
Do you allege about Allah what you don’t know?

Say, whoever fabricates lies against Allah...

We’re told from an early age not to judge someone.
At least, not ‘til we’ve walked a mile in their shoes.
But judging someone is something that we’ve all done
It’s part of being human, not something we choose.

Usually, it’s the little things that we judge
Like someone’s hair...

Make way on the street,
68-year-old coming through,
So, shift your feet,
Or make room for me to get through.

I am not blaming you,
But at half my age,

If you can't match someone twice your age,
Who likes to take a walk down...

Hypocritical men and hypocritical women are all the same 
They urge the people to do evil things
And regarding good works they forbid them
And they are squanderer
They have forgot Allah the Giver
Therefore Allah will forget them forever
Surely every hypocritical person is transgressor.

It’s Allah’s promise
The hypocritical men...

I clocked out and headed for home before the darkness CAME.
From the street bus, I witnessed mayhem and felt so STRANGE.

Like the actions of angry people who refused to be TAMED,
it seemed hope within my fellow human beings began to DRAIN.

Aghast and confused at what...
