Little By Little
Above the sea

another ocean

and just as blue

Sailing upwind

is all impossible

But don't give up yet

Little by little I come to you

We' d catch each wave

We'll ride the tide

Little by little,We'll  make it right

I don't believe in fairies

but I believe in you

And I know,You know

Little by...

Little by little the red bricks begin to fall apart 
he is getting ready to take the staircase to heaven
she watches from a window the hunch of his back
outside the garden is in disarray but full of dew  
Her conscience whispers gently in her...

Little By Little - Inch By Inch
When a challenge feels like a hex
won’t even try, it’s too complex
take this approach, it is a chinch
Little by little – inch by inch

First impressions are often wrong
solution found, before too long
the proven way, when in a pinch 
Little by little – inch by inch

Complex...

Little Adult, Little Girl
When I was a little girl, 

mama put me in a silky pink dress.

I was the princess of the family.

Their glory.


When I am a little adult,

I remove everything and lay myself bare.

I am the mouse in the household.

Their shame.



When I was a little girl, 

papa...

Little Pig,Little Pig,A Rewrite
little pig beware the lupine cliques-
that prowl the woods of politics
the scent of money they adore
as all the while they howl for more
yowling from the forest floor
beguiling with their wily tricks
forego the straws and fragile sticks
and build your house of bricks!...

Nature's small insects cute and rude
Garden blooms gathering food  

Butterflies' sweet nectar seeks,
Beneath sun's outstretched blond streaks

Where, yet a spider does hide
Silvery web shadows bide

Night is flashing lighting bugs
Tall grass leaves their heartfelt hugs

Dragonfly's wings weave and fades
Sunlight shining rainbow shades

Termites creeping in woodwork
Silent...

Little Cartons, Little Sacks
Little Cartons, Little Sacks

 
The mug of tea I drank at six,
the tea that drives me to the train,
needs a refill. At my desk,
I don’t do much. I wait
for lunch when every day
I eat so much the waitress gawks.
She doesn’t realize the years
till supper. Then...

Thistles with bristles
Grow then whittle
Little by little
Near and far from quartz crystals
As well as waters with ripples
Where the fish bite and nibble
While the wind whistles
On sunny days and during a drizzle
Thinking about what is beneficial
So that my income can triple
I never once said it would...

Little Pig,Little Pig
little pig.beware the fragile sticks-
that form the lies of politics
for the senate huffs-
and then it puffs...
so go build your house...of bricks!*

Little Lies, Little Lies
The truth
The truth is an illusion
An illusion which we try to interpret
To interpret and to individualise
To individualise into our own lies when we don’t like it....

Little Girl/ Little Boy
Little girl (Little boy), so small and insecure, whose world has crumbled in, and when it
rains it pours.
Little girl (Little boy), you were never able to bloom, so your world seems so dark, and
full of gloom.
Little girl (Little boy), you've been so hurt and abused,...

A poem is a little girl 
	Helping Mommy with the dishes
		Or teaching her how to use
			A computer app
A little boy at play
	In his sandbox
		Or the games apps on his i-pad
A poem is 	
	Mommy kissing Dad
It’s the sun rising in the morning
	A harvest moon at night
A...
