a whirlwind of thoughts
compete with swaying of trees~
lone leaf on my shoe

I am not sure exactly when my fascination for falling leaves started, there is just...

Most people who meet her, consider her charming
But she has ghoulish traits, they’d find quite alarming
With her gleaming blonde tresses and sparkling blue eyes
Her cherubic features are just a disguise
For although she emits a celestial aura,
Angelic pastimes, quite simply, abhor her
Where other girls play with...

I was strolling through the rich coast on a Sunday evening,
No doubt, I had glanced at beautiful Enid,

- Inspired by ‘Tubby Makes a Mistake‘ by Enid Blyton in ‘The Cuckoo in the Clock and other stories.’

When night falls,
toys come out to play
While we slumber and snore
the night away.

behind the long pink curtains there

Adapting the Craft

Two of us on a bench
outside the store
I'm waiting
for a bus;
Enid's waiting
while her husband shops.
Forty years between us
Sharing butter cookies
because we both skipped breakfast
Enid lights up a cigarette.
She needs to know my name,
my son's name, where I'm from
originally
We talk about a recent hurricane
and that her...

Did you see your books as friends?
Did Enid Blyton ever end?
In the Famous Five, we did believe,
Faraway Tree, dreams to perceive,
Could not wait for new edition,
Enid the friend, our tradition....
