is lighter than a board
and stiff as a feather
Wait…”strike that
reverse it”
Thank you, Gene Wilder
I don’t know anything worth knowing
I was a literature major
a century ago
my strength
just might be
in not knowing
In the time of Shakespeare,
the wise man was the fool
and the fool knew something
about everything
I am proud to call myself
the fool
of an honorable life
of forgetful jokes
and less than funny
one-liners
“I have become a virgin”
Yes, Cate Blanchett
I have become a virgin
and the queen of pentacles
My life is mine
greater than England
Just one last kiss, my little stotty-cake!
You are my cate, my sweetmeat, dainty dish.
Be happy, hinnie, for your "Old Man"'s sake.
You've made me happier than I could have wished.
My sugar dumpling, custard, treacle tart!
Let's part with smiles, and try to hide the ache.
It couldn't last - we knew that from the start.
For us, there'll be no happy ever after.
Go off, embrace your future. Love and thrive.
This thing, this fling, was just a young girl's dream.
It was a pudding "de nouvelle cuisine"
- that's short and sweet - but how we raised the rafters!
Remember me. And, (if I'm still alive!)
I'll often think of you with love. And laughter.
Winters are vital for all mankind.
And there's snow on mountain tops;
But for most, it's not fun.
Springs are alive and speak to us all.
But it's not without some storms.
Oh, sweet, color me Autumn;
What of you not to like?
Oh, Summer, you are loved.
I love your long and sunny days.
It's enough to astound and amaze.
I met the love of my life
In the summertime.
I got married
In the summertime.
There is so much to do;
So many places to go;
Many like to vacate.
Some prefer to stay-cate.
New family members to meet;
So many fun foods to eat and treat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a colorful garden where nature blooms.
At your call, I rise tall and dulcet in red looms.
My flowers are trumpet-shaped and clear.
I am a Hibiscus, an iconic flower, comely dear.
Akin to Eden, I bedizen earth with an exotic zest
Birds, bees, and butterflies join to sip my digest.
A burst of hues, lambent views, in a yard of sate.
Wildlife dances comely by the scene, full of cate.
My time is short, for I fall soon after I bloom.
Above my grace, my life doesn't cease in doom.
My petals hold peculiar cures beyond compare.
My teas and pills ease pain and pressure, so rare.
Sometimes memories,
Taking me to cries,
When i remember her,
The one i won out of war,
Before she was gone,
Claiming i was none,
And cared nothing,
A bastard with nothing,
My life for her i gave,
Resurrection from the cave,
With my own breathe,
She survived death,
Why ladies,
Cant you see the effort we gives,
But why do you give lies,
Until the love dies,
Have i been a liar?
Which thing is major,
Dying in the hands of evil beings for love?
When they brag when with us and behind they have,
Best they get to talk with,
And smile to show their teeth,
I was betrayed,
And then it came to the end.

There once was a cool guy named Jack
Jack o’ lanterns attacked his back
Witch Cate blew straight through
Umbrella askew
She saved the famed wizard Jack Black
*The House with a Clock in Its Walls
Candva am stiut
exact de cate ori vreau
sau trebuie
sa-mi indoi hartia de impachetat
inainte sa trimit
un colet social.
Pe vremuri, hartia
era atat de importanta,
uneori la fel de importanta ca si continutul,
iar livrarea- momentul-
urmaream sa fie perfecta.
De-alungul anilor
am avut indoituri,
linii, urme, scris frumos si
chiar si rupture. Ce bine ca exista scotch!
Desene, mai rar…
Trecutul meu emotional
tot pe hartie
l-as asterne daca pachetul de azi
nu ar carboniza
insasi mainile care incearca
sa inghesuie Totul si Nimicul
intr-o cutie singulara.
Pentru fiecare intrebare
pe care am sters-o mai mult sau mai putin constient,
pentru fiecare umbra lasata de colturi ,,nota bene”,
pentru fiecare taietura incapatanata
ce-mi forta vindecarea din ore in zile,
pentru toate
vreau sa materializez acum,
inainte sa ma ridic cu picioarele de pe pamant,
un ultimatum:
"Let it burn!"

C r a z y Cate just had a
C-section. Crabby, she
couldn’t control her moods.
Catatonic one night,
careless me stole her cloaks!
Can’t I be cutely flawed?
Couch became my man cave.

El premier es en Espanol
Mi cafe es restrictado.
al tazo que bebiendo
es caliente
Although I love my coffee,
mi medico llamare que yo se muerto,
si yo no terninar,
Entonces,
Mi cate es muy importante!
I battle with English
They often ask as me where I'm from
I reply, "not from the English"
I live with in the west with my mom
No siblings no pet just books to read
I read grandfathers books, in my language
In English I know the little I need
I always carry my books in my luggage
I travel to the east the west
I find it hard to co-mmuni-cate
The big words won't let me rest
They say I'm doing awful at this rate
I tell them that I'm not English
I see spelling errors when I type
com-pu-ter helps me with my English
It's a disaster when I have to Skype
But I am who I am
I can't speak Spanish, Venda or Punjabi
A failure is not who I am
Just not afraid to admit I battle with English
I never really knew you
You were just another friend
But when I got to know you,
I let my heart unbend.
I couldn't help past memories
that would only make me cry
I had to forget my first love
and give love another try
So I've fallen in love with you
and I'll never let you go
I love you more than anyone
I just had to let you know
And if you ever wonder why
I don't know what I'll say
But I'll never stop loving you
each and every day
My feelings for you will never change
Just know my feelings are true
Just remember one thing
I Love You!

Recollections waft
across my mind like
wisps of soft white spores -
the vague remnants of
my memory’s threads.
Spring’s sun-gold heads
I now can‘t hold!
But glimpsing them,
I can recall. . ..
a young girl
blowing fluff
and wishing
time would
quickly
pass.

Hell without a cell.
by Cate Rock
A tear...it falls
down my cheek
I'm still bound here by walls.
Its only truth i seek.
Love, it hurts
sin, its fun
dirt unearthed
Sun, it burns
Death has come and past.
My body learned to make it last.
Death nothing new,
If only i where with you.
The mirror in my cell a doorway to my hell...
My grace defaced.
My chains pulling me back making it such a waist...
Nothing to face just four walls and absent is my grace...
Bars none...
Yet it is a prison,
Demons...none
Yet this is hell...
Into the shadows something hides...
Its a creature on my side.
His old torn soul come to ease my pain...
He has brought me rain.
In a meadow far and wide...
No where to hide yet there is no point...
I reach for the sky.
i feel raindrops collide.
A poring rain...
A meadow with no pain.
No point in loss...
You feel nothing.
