Best In Due Course Poems
Beauteous AffinityI was a fashionable interior decorator, beautifying comfortable, loved homes;
And selecting wall paints, fabrics and furniture, like the sparkle of gemstones.
I worked closely with eager owners, for their wildest, dream homes to occur,
Like clusters of wild, blooming daisies, which upon one color, seem to concur.

Monarch Butterflyhanging from the foliage
in your hundreds
repainting the leaves
in bright shades
of black and orange
with your waterproof
gossamer wings
of four inch span
so fragile and
yet so strong
enabling you
to journey south
across america
from canada to mexico
breeding new generations
as you travel
thousands of miles
with unerring accuracy
to the exact...

NEW YEARS BAKE OFF
My Greek grandmother and godmother, cousins,
My grandma baked and cooked homely,
My Nona, my godmother exotically,
Each one perfect, one couldn’t fault either,
Their husbands, playing backgammon
Looked up and winked at each other,
Each one betting a fiver!
Their competitiveness intensely extreme,
They would have won if they’d thought
Of working as...

PrincessI recall it was just the other day
Featured in the daily for which we pay
Your blown-up photo splashed across
The front page for all to gloss
Your background and your virtues extolled
For your wedding bells were soon to toll
With a king-in-waiting as the groom
You would wilt or...

What are you doing sitting when you could be a standing ox?
Are they out on patrol as you wann the metal into your soul?
Dive deeply hard Sims-

You inspire even the legends
Breaking the rules of the established trends
Carving a niche, With your poetic weave
I fall for your truism, the intense criticism
Cannot conceal your Talent; for...

A sickly mother with her hands all shriveled, and feet cold.
The fingers were long and the wrists were swollen.
The nails on her, hmmm, not sure. But they were there.
Oh, the layers, after layers,...

The DecisionIn the darkness, everyone can hide,
but in the light, the savior abides.
We sneak and crawl, with no remorse,
taking everything, in its due course.
Can we see, what the lord has to give,
forever in eternity, we can live.
High on the mountain, evil is there,
