I saw a sundrop in a field,
a daffodil to be exact,
stand brave upon the snow-filled tract.

In blighting cold it would not yield;
long since its fellows disappeared
to that one spot it still adhered,

though flurries did the winter wield.
The autumn did its namesakes in
before the hoarfrost could...

Grace’s Council — Open...

One fine day, a little dit of a field-mouse, so tiny and meek, an avid reader of letters came to a freeze; dry-iced to her fav’rite spot at Grace’s library. As her teeny wee heart echoed her beat, she got stuck in...

The difficult translation of first Canto of Divina Commedia is here completed
In the part published before, Dante imagined to find himself in a dark forest where he met three beasts.

WHEN MY WORDS ARE MORE THAN HEARD

 When my words act as proverbs
When my verbs are heard.
When the simple become wise
When my people listen to reason
And no longer follow folly.
When my adjectives invoke action, 
Instead of reaction.
When young eyes are opened 
To the riddles of...

Hermes broke his Father (Zeus) and Mother’s (Maia) heart
when he intervened upon seeing a green eyed blonde woman
of Celtic origin, on her way to the afterlife, breaking all the rules, 
displeasing Hades whom showered his own desires upon her,
before forcing Zeus to adhered to protocol.

Like a virgin to stressed messes surging,
I struggled with bridges on parental ridges
when I wore both Mom and work britches.
Young years adhered pleasure steered twitches
but grown changes sewed pressure stitches.
I changed to a day and night striving
female getter-doner; an energizer twit-nit
who conquered to-do lists into...

even her name evoked colorful images
Ginger November, a student of mine
quiet girl with ebony hair
a blessing to teach till family troubles intervened

divorcing parents of a Catholic schoolgirl
Ginger tried to keep the burden hid
enduring much hardship
struggling to cope

mid-semester exams evoked fear
to avoid failure, students had to...

I've worked with children all my days,
The things they say sure do amaze.

"How did the baby get in you?
Will it come out with your poo?"

"You'll need much more loo paper than me,
Your bottom is so big you see."

"Why's that man got a towel* on his...

I never wanted any barriers,
           or dark taintings with thick smears,
                    but all have been close...

Pray, I await for when you would hold my hand in yours
I await for when I would feel the warmth of it
And just know
That somehow, the skies, like me, are appeased!

Our souls shall be forgiven, for whatever it was that
We did, it does not matter...

The spring wrestled the grain of sand 
And scattered it free floating in the 
Whirlwind on natures’ crystal spring
A tiny bird swept in to sip a drink
A dazzled by the floating grain 
Tasted it and swallowed it and now
Airborne the grain of sand traveled
To a...

Long before we met
I loved you

though countenance as yet unclear;

long before I ever heard 
your voice, sensed I a perfect fit 
out-there, somewhere
for my very eclectic ear -- 

Destiny is the word she used,

the old woman, with cards and
tea-leaves – a White Witch her
advertised claim:...

To reclaim needless expenditure, allow the MP's to repay
No matter the total, let the law courts have their say

Now our economy has taken a turn for the best
Restructuring internally an injection of zest

Now, let's look after our pensioners, and place them in jail
They'll have showers,...
