WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN
- Suddenly, I awoke,
To the touch and feel of his able hands,
I rose to see a light burning ever,
Neither hot to smolder
nor cold to bother.
Suddenly I approached,
To the ray of light akin to his fable lies,
I felt the despair across the flowing waters,
A sign that mutters
O`what! starts a winter.
- Shedding along the path I tread,
I left behind every pain I dread,
Blowing against me; leaves of cherry blossoms,
Singing with me; birds who breath rebirth,
Seeking to find peace with every step,
In nature's arms I regress.
- I stood afront a lonely road,
Chasing after a dreamy boat,
I caught a smile that would not dim,
Spinning and shining on everyone and thing,
Like a sun whose rays illuminate,
I hoped to be a vacuum in which it radiates.
Life is fun with one so dear,
How beautiful could she get?,
Her dutchess sway and elegant glare,
Keeps my heart in evermore cheer.
- In the blink of an eye,
Everything gone,
In the cold of the night,
Wishes went undone.

Some danced,
Some would just watch,
Some had champagne,
Some a coffee klatsch,
Wall flower,
Still has it's beauty
Colorful essence,
Stem does its duty
Swirling dancers,
Trick the eye,
Motion's chances,
Does belie
Shifting colors,
Like shifting needs,
Shifting wants,
Like wind tossed seeds..
Some will have their
Cup of punch,
Some no clue,
Some a hunch
The Dutchess waltzes by,
The prince does smile,
For only he,
Has the means to try,
To steal her away,
To his castle cold,
And if he feels,
A need that bold,
The Duke can wither
On his own,
For he dare not threaten,
The all powerful throne.

When I was born,
And for the first 5 years,
We lived in Brooklyn,
"King's County" you should know,
Then we moved to "Queen's"
Yup, "Queen's County"
A small step down the royal ladder,
One that hardly seemed to matter
Next, I went to "Nassau County",
As if on a royal cruise,
Maybe a royal vacation,
Didn't seem like much to lose...
And now I'm in "Dutchess County"
And I'm startin' to see a pattern,
When will end?
When I finally reach Saturn??
So let's take the logical steps ahead,
At least those until I'm dead....
I guess by all rights,
Next will be "Earlville" in my sights,
Followed by "Knight'sbridge" I
would tempt to guess,
You see where I'm heading?
This surely is a mess...
Next "Serf-town" I would predict,
Any lower, and I'll be sick!!
But we haven't ended our descent,
Cause from there, to "Leper'sLand"
I went.....
I'm not even go on any further,
Cause the thought becomes too scary,
But if I had to venture a guess,
Sometype of slimy worm, I'd think...
would be Mother Nature's last jest!!!

Dutchess was my bunny,
Her disposition, oh so sunny,
Her ways and actions-oh so funny,
Oh my! I loved that bunny.
Dutchess!
She came from my son-in-law, a gift,
My pet cavy had died! I needed a lift,
My room became hers-and so did I,
She made me laugh-she made me cry.
Dutchess!
Dutchess made noises-a grunt, a growl,
We became friends, we were great pals,
Her eyes like coal-they are So black,
Her nose always twitching and that's a fact.
Dutchess!
I had to move-she couldn't come!
My Grandson took her, she has a great home,
I love her! I miss her so very much,
But life goes on, I stay in touch with-
Dutchess!
