Taliban advance
Ruinous darkness follow-
Freedom's sun eclipsed!

* Taliban fighters killed the relative of a Deutsche Welle journalist in Afghanistan as the group steps up its searches door-to-door for people connected to or who worked for the West.

The scratchy fog extends its stay,
behind the eye's shield to the day.
It's sticky tendrils bind each eye,
so that from sunlight they do shy.
I sip the tonic to address
the stress,
and sleepy mind's duress.
And yet the fog it travels still,
through arms and legs, consumes my will.
The wooden chair cannot provide,
a single comfort to my hide.
Accordingly,
die grammatik,
refuses in my mind to stick.
Um Gottes Willen! When will this end?
So that I may begin to mend,
the body and the soul that did,
in passage to adult from kid,
surrender all it's liberty,
to honored University,
in pursuit of the highest dream,
to live on gold, champagne and cream.
But till that time I must endure,
the lectures on die Deutsche Kultur.

Ellie became instantly popular on Twitter,
For her Rio entrance to the 50m butterfly,
Which became known affectionately as,
The “gangster entrance”, her huge jacket.
Ellie was diagnosed in November of 2012,
Just after the London Paralympic Games,
When she was inspired by Ellie Simmonds,
To get into the pool and achieve ambitions -
She was diagnosed with Perthes hip disease,
Already she had achondroplasia, dwarfism,
But this meant she has physio every day,
A tough routine which perhaps you adjust to.
Her first international senior was 2015 Berlin -
She’s only fifteen, born on 30th August 2001 -
At the Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaften,
Where she set a WR, took 1 silver, 1 bronze.
On the run-up to Rio at the Euros in Portugal,
Ellie won a silver in the 50 metres butterfly S6,
Bronzes in the 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle,
So in Rio she won gold butterfly, bronze free.

we opened the night
through a starry canvas
that covered my thoughts
I'd began to wonder
the meaning of loneliness
never had I foreseen
such graveness
beneath my silk nylons
and lace garter belt
thee infamous portrait
standing before me
was indeed us
a picture of sullen duets
valued between funfsik fir
deutsche marks and dwa zolty
my mind a quiet loft
my memory sorted
as I embrace why I'd rather
welcome jaded thoughts
mingled with traces of naught
oh how you controlled
even that pure stillness
I'd portrayed.

Augen sehen,
Ich schribe in der Hause,
Ich trinke lieben,
Lieben sehen.
Ich scribe in der Hause,
Ich trinke lieben,
Lieben Sehen,
Augen Sehen.
In der Hause Ich schribe,
Augen Sehen,
Ich trinke Lieben,
Lieben sehen.
“My German Writing”
Eyes see,
I write in the house,
I drink love,
Love sees.
I write in the house,
I drink love,
Love sees,
Eyes see.
In the house, I write,
Eyes see,
I drink love,
Love sees.

amidst my indelible impressions
comes an era of remembrence
that shall go down in history
I recall the flight of an airship
traveling abroad from Europe
to the United States
with ninety seven aboard
passangers crews and news media
were all awaiting for its safe arrival
as newsreel coverage was filming
the attempt docking of this flight it
turned into a blazing yellow and red fireball
within one minute
thirthy five lives had
parished
In Memory Of
Those Lost On The
Hindenburg
