If I Were a Mermaid
...If I were a Mermaid

The Day I Showed My Red
...Unlike the others in my family,
I rarely let emotions take control.
A temper tantrum they'd not see from me.
The "cool" one I was called. It's still my role.
I rarely get choked up by anything.......

A Litany Alittered With Alliterations

Cutting the caustic cordial,
Rearing a rabid recall.
Pardon the potion
When blind and blundering

Stand Smart, Tolerant and Tall
...So, as said you sir
the sun did still rise
albeit in a blur
among shaded skies.

A great book.
In return, do not make this book, my book,
The last,

They will not m......

The Cat Lassie and the Potter Sometimes In a Frock

Majestic tales of fictional worlds and glory,

When I Am Silent
...When I scream,
Do not listen.
When I judge,
Do not listen.
When I curse,
Do not listen.

When I am boastful,

Goldilocks Vs Wilde Woolf

Sifting through the spiritless so-so
Of their sake.
Rushing for a room
In the established B&B,

Swelling their bellies and slowing their mi......
