Best Takings Poems

She senses before she sees
The manicured nails - the elegant fingers
Holding out the hundred dollar bills - enticingly - so temptingly

For Jack and For Me

Close my eyes ~
	I’m on that mountain
	lush with Autumn taste.

Close my eyes ~
	We are love entwined

Close my eyes ~
	We are young again,
	connecting eyes, souls and...

'Tis 60 years now come and gone
Since first we took our Pledge
To be true, one to another,
To take a step beyond the sharp edge
That marks the bounds of Mine or Thine,

We watched Frida Kahlo 
with our backs toward the rice fields
The monkey fits tightly to her breast, 
her right breast. A parrot 
on her left shoulder; two chatter-boxes that mimic
What if the wolves pull our wool over our eyes?

In lands where barbarians sacrifice youths for...

And, you have scared me too much.

Born to cure by nature for we are Siamese twins,
though we`ve been separated from inception,
our tentacles and wings pilot the earth like fins,
Mixture of herbs and root led to our conception.

We have limits and boundaries when invited,
whether strong or soft effects we act the same,

Where are the people these chairs to fill.
Can hear shouts and cheering drafting in the air

They are at the Rugby an important game
So some with happy faces, some head hung...
