The True Prayer
While litres of milk drifted down the deity's idol like a river, the thirsty stomach on the temple steps wetted its lips. ...

A Punny Death
A Coffee Merchant was the first man to find,
The corpse as he started off on his daily grind!
What he saw filtered through, so he had grounds
To send for the Police, to investigate what he'd found!

He’d found the corpse lying by the side of a well,
It...

My First Car

My lawyer drives a Jaguar,
a slim and glitzy marque.
He seldom ventures near the Law,
(the work's done by his clerk),
buts sends in bills at Partners Rates;
that avaricious shark.

My Broker's Merc is spanking new;
it takes his fishing rod.
He, as of right, once gently slipped
in shoes his father...

The Irony of the Red Smiling Cyclops
It appeared on the doorpost as a Cyclops' smiley face
 For some Cyclops WhatsApp icon, but red-themed application
 Yes gruesome red, in contrast to the expectation
 You would get from a smiley face, even for a Cyclops.
 It quizzed my curiosity and I dug further...

-this Vast Abundance of Ours-
Think in abundance and abundance will be yours

       The million of stars for you to gaze upon

       The thousands upon thousands of leaves on the trees around

Beams of Dreams
I am dreaming the past
Past when KBC was the only station
Each morning started with the anthem of the nation
We had to know your intention
Before saying anything through the station
Each anchor had a level of education
While talent was just an addition
Any deviation
Captured the important attention
Of the...

Beverley Jones
Beverley is a professional at the Paralympics, 
Because she’s been to five of them including Rio, 
And in London she made the podium’s antics, 
Since she won discus third with a lush glow.

Born the 17th of October 1974 with Cerebral Palsy, 
She made the 2000...

Hannah Crockroft
Hannah Crockroft has cerebral palsy from her birth, 
And having CP myself, she’s kind of special to me, 
Because CP is not derided anymore, much, as alien, 
But is called brain damage, not your own currency. 

She was born on the 30th July 1992, West...

Premium Member Mom's Homemade Soup
 
I can still smell Mom's homemade soup on the stove,
she always had a pot simmering for us kids to welcome us home;
it was made in this huge soup pot which I inherited,
old, and dinged but it is one of my favorite possessions.

She did not...

Limerence
A night’s blizzard winter season,
I was waiting there for no reason,
Under the trees of cherry blossom,
There came a beauty so awesome,
Her dazzling sight made me blank,
Words cannot describe her I am so frank,
Whether her skin is white or pouring snow is white,
I could never guess...

Into the Yard
Twenty two snails were dancing in a line, for they had consumed some wine, the wine had been left by humans in the yard, the glasses full, no breaks, no shards. Safely pulling themselves up the stems. Then suckling up the infusions like a worm...

Premium Member The Nurse's Day
A nurse has washed six patients; it's a busy day,
And now she has just watched a lovely lady die,
Next she’s going to bed-bath the woman next door,
No time for her own needs, can’t let herself cry.
Then on to talk to the new admission, a man,
Ask...

MY 62ND BIRTHDAY
It’s my birthday and I’m in my 62nd year
I’ve shared the laughter and the tears
I love birthdays and there’s been a lot
I love all the cake so far that I have got
I did some overseas travel in my twenties
And here are some places...
