  A fine mist, today, enveloped my eye
As I began his query to answer
  Caught in my throat, a battle cry

An introvert since I was a young child,
I am tranquil quiet and never wild;
never thinking it would be an asset, 
               so with my quietus-  I have reconciled.

Quatrain #55:
CHOICE


Voice sacred trust in words that flow,
Poise knows you must bring truth to show;
Noise is but rust that corrupts good,
Choice now sculpts bust where beauty glows.

A penny for your thoughts
  with inflation it’s a nickel
The longer you go on
  the more I find you fickle

You looked sincere, so genuine
  I’d have bought you roses and wine
But now you’ve opened your mouth so wide
  On fresh shoe...

A flower that has once lived and aged
With all of life's opportunities engaged
Then lost its petals and its scent
Waits stilled, extends its lessons of life waged     ...

Make up your mind to seek the light,
Opt truth in kind to guide your sight;
Deed can now bind the love you share,

His path has crossed mine several times
He can even read my minds 
I tell you never get too close
He can also hear your cries

The love had has burnt a while
The devil barley sees a smile
The demon follows you till you death
He seeks your blood on...

A KIDS FUNNY BEE BUZZ POEM
								 
The fuzzy, wuzzy bumble bee
a fussy, hussy bee was he
because he lost his buzz you see
in a muggy, buggy mushroom tree

On mushrooms bitter, boggy black,
he planned an aerial attack,
but bouncing, pouncing skills he lacked
and failed to get his bee...

I stand and wait by the garden gate
My object of affection is fashionably late
When she appears she will be mine
For a wedding is planned to celebrate....

Lagoon of life, lake of man
Bitterness in life, salt of man.
Sourness or sweetness, salt of the tongue
Harvest of the young, actions of man

Sourness of tongue, sweetness of the stung
Sweetness of the unsung, sourness of the dung.
Bitterness of man, life's crucifix
Burden of follies, puff of the...

One mouth you were given, but two ears
So you would talk half as much as you hear
Remember this biological fact
  ~ and affection you will gain from your peers...

My hands, smelly, brown, it's truly heinous...
I love those dogs, I do! But it's dubious
I'll ride my wheels again through grass!
Clean after them please? I'm simply FURIOUS......
