The cuckoo coaxes
springtime isn't in cock-a-hoop
Earth in timing loop

wisdom is wisdom
though from rustic life;
flower is flower
though a wild flower;
fragrance and knowledge must come
though nobody gives importance!

Comer e ler
Leia sempre uma mensagem
ou uma história
ou mesmo uma frase
de otimismo
logo ao acordar.
Use seu tempo livre
para ler mais histórias
e conta.
Se você comer três vezes ao dia,
será alimentada.
Mas se você ler mensagens de otimismo
três vezes ao dia,
será sábia.
Comer sapos
Na vida e nos negócios
Se precisa engolir sapos
é melhor fazê-lo logo pela manhã.
E se tiver que comer mais sapos,
é melhor comer o maior primeiro.
Spent and Battle Weary,
the exhausted figure trudges the well worn path
like the to-ings and fro-ings of some relentless seaside donkey.
Utterly defeated,she resumes her rhythmic rocking, almost robotic in its ministry.
No welcome here for this fretful form
Out of time
This usurper of liberty, predator of new found freedom,
like the parasitic mistletoe as it clings to the enduring oak
Consumes the spirit
Outflanked by convention, choice simply a misconception,
The woman capitulates before her adversary.
The final shades of moonlight fade from the sky.
The child, enveloped in the first vestiges of sleep,
Surrenders its hold.
The early morning sunlight precociously animates its shadowy dance;
and Fairies cavort upon this tiny form,
playground of elfins and pixies;
the elixir, the effervescence in champagne.
I brush the hair from the forehead of the sleeping child
My heart is swollen
No enigma here; only my daughter
