even when peers run amok cos of you.
loving you has become my...

(scoured from dregs of me muss held head)

I shore up a vignette to free

among cryptozoological types
they’re speculated upon rather much.

at least if you’re into that type of thing,
you see claims of a giant skeleton,
that ‘smart people’ are always...

which was broadcast in 1939 over CBS radio.
It was based on a book written years before
by H. G. Wells whom many readers would adore.
Martian invaders landed in Grover's Mill, New Jersey,
and marched their way northward into New York...

The blossoming buds fill my eyes with delight,
As the aroma seeps through the air,
Showcasing a picturesque scene depleted of fright,
A life of beauty and a day so rare,

A gentle breeze runs across my back,
As touches of sunlight caress my hair,
