Adorable QuiQui

A green-feathered, yellow head beauty,
that’s my prized pet parakeet, QuiQui.
Even when she’s often crabby and snappy,
she succeeds in making me extremely happy. 

QuiQui loves dipping and diving into her bird bath,
and hanging from a perch in her cage, like an expert acrobat.
She also enjoys...

Thirty years ago, long before ISIS started executing Kurds, Muslims and Christians, I hired a Pakistani Muslim as an art director in Chicago. I was an Irish Catholic editor putting out a small national magazine. I hired him because his work samples were good and...

Hey what did I miss?
Do I owe you something,
that every time I make a move in life you react?
Do I owe you success?
That every time I drown, making bad decisions
You recognize,

Judging like an expert.
Does it hurt to mind your own business?
To make absoluteness in your...

Hello everyone! There is going to be a 2nd part to Entertainment real soon. Stay tuned! Thanks:)

Don’t be discouraged
Don’t be doubtful 
Don’t be disheartened 
Be happy, not mad
Be humble, not proud
Be quiet, not loud 
Be merciful, not condemning 
Be cheerful, not anxious 
Be glad, not...

Stimulate me with your merry laughs and smiles of gladness 
Give me a taste of paradise and feed me delicacies of grace
Let us both seek rejuvenation above the sweet remedies of bliss 
Uplift my bland frown and take me a million miles away from disgrace...

Reflections haunt me,
Mortifying me…longing to be free…
Drifting away
Go ahead and throw up your explanation points!!
Raise your voice at me again
Give me all you got
Get me something I forgot…

Frustrated to say the least
Your words, they’re not so beast
Feast your eyes on my delicacies 
In a trance...

Dear…I am lost for words
As I thought they were Lords.
Alas! They treat me like an inexpensive cup
That breaks even with much luck.

Dear…how dare you act like an expert,
In relationships when you never gave a heart?
You are a gynecologist who has never seen
Man’s ‘sell it all’...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-to-familiar frustration
Get the hell away from me…negativity…
Flee from me, unsatisfied soul of envy 

I yearn for something more
You’re the one I adore
You’re the one I adore

You deserted me long ago 
The wind blew to and fro
Never mind…I will...

(a poem I've written back in 2013)

I've encountered something quite odd
I'm receiving brand new information
I've given up too many times to count on my underestimated fingers
Trying to think rationally...I've been tricked by your lies that linger
Beneath my skin...I've been your brother and your kin
Maybe I...

Exhausted, you're playing as a suicidal victim once more
Confusion sucked me dry all the more to the deep core
Thaw me like frozen ground beef…
Give me some microwaving relief

Hate the actions you make with a passion, it didn’t drive away my positive, encouraging...

Tell me this…

In your vision,
Am I your mission?
In your eyes,
Are their hints of lies?

Why did you let go of everything you once had?
It’s okay to have a new start; on the otherhand, it’s not bad
They say that better days are ahead or so I’ve heard
They...

Everything I once had in mind has vanished and was replaced with new thoughts instead - I turned into someone stronger, I belong, I'm not alone, and I'm a success from the start...graze in your own maze and look the other way because I can't...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-too-familiar frustration
I yearn for something more
You're the one that I adore
You're the one that I adore

You deserted me long ago
The wind moves to and fro
I was wondering where you've gone
Maybe in the wilderness, drenched in sun

You wear a...

I can’t take anymore of this…
I wish you had mercifulness…
Tension slits me like a knife…
All my life...all my life...all my life...

Don’t let go and stay close to me (I’m wanting you oh so badly)
I know I look like a disaster today, but I can’t get...

Feeling my way out of darkness
I found myself in the spotlight of marvelous dreams come true
Feeling my way out of distress
I am bound to find you, locked up inside the tower of nightmarish blue

Looking forward to being twenty one
Haters gonna hate and lovers gonna love
A...
