MY BROTHER AND I
My brother and I, while choosing a name for my nephew, tried hard to think of something unique— something with variety and charm. “Tractor” was the first choice, then came “Tumbler,” and we fell breathless with laughter, comparing impossible things— his eyes to stretching bubblegum. We joked about how his name might sound when he grew older. Laughs and tears rolled down our cheeks. ...

Your cheeks are tending to the ground And I’m so slow today Look at the memory I’ve found Before it flies away The lifeline furrow on your palm Runs through the hills and dales Inside the storm it could be calm Despite the blowing gales My glasses gleam with gold and brown I have to go again I cannot see what time is now Could be...

Have you ever let your mind sit under a cherry blossom tree The poetic renewal massages the stress away the same way as the beach waves Copy and paste, lying next to you is like closing your eyes under the sunset oceanside A bright blushing sky with kisses of orange, and blue with a honeyed taste that simply...

Premium Member Fashionable Fall
Fashionable Fall flaunts her lustrous leaves, catwalks flowing flora with earnest ease. Haunting lullabies from the quaking trees cast chilling currents from mountain to keys.

Premium Member Roses Are Pink Against My Cheeks
Roses are red, indeed they are. Violets are blue, in weather, fair. Where’s the romance of moon and stars? Need to fill up my reservoirs. Roses are pink against my cheeks. Violets are small, a token friend. The sun, likewise, warms up the weak. The source of truth - the Son, I seek. 6/3/2023...
