Forebear I beg if I am found obtuse
Not turning from the indigent I see
Should I aver egregious a view
They be ascribed a sloth delirium
My comments here may seem not delicate
Yet if I choose travail to consecrate
Would you in intercession mediate
Bring those in need restored...

My Family TreeExplorin' the branches of the family tree can be rather dicey.
Some ancestors could be famous, humdrum er downright spicy!

A Trip To the ZooPeople come to stare at animals there.
With no time to spare, they rush everywhere.
Moms and babies share as she gives them care.
Elephants declare their presence with flare.
Critters with long hair jump to trees midair.

Alligators pair; together ensnare.
Flamingo welfare wades near...

Extravagant LoveWhy do they come to call
Those men who lack in passion
Why do they bother at all
If their blazing fire be rationed
So piercing so radiant
The fumbling for words
An intimate clumsy rhythm
Lyrics sweet melody unheard
Captivate my heart with exaggerated life
Like a summer wind playing in my...

Uncle JackUncle Jack
Was in the army
We have the photographs
To prove it
Although the S badge
Attached to the band
Around his peaked hat
Suggests blood and fire
Rather than guns and ammo
I should have realised
Unlike our common forebear

Their KindIn Japan the small is much revered,
transformed within the womb of heart and mind
to grandeur never gained by those who fear
what is unseen, unsaid, what’s left behind.
A leaf, a sheaf, a treasured grief in kind
becomes a shrine the living must repair, ...

Seeds Bound On Its Own PerfumeWhat is in a name? If you were an arid desert rose in bloom
A flourishing garden would be transformed in my womb
Weaving greenery of verdant emerald green whom
Embraced by Love’s profound budding existence will groom
Fashion Buds not of the desert or garden in...
