Enjoying the Sun
the rain has ceased
eight days since we saw the sun
she comes to visit
I sit on my porch, basking like a cat
eagerly leaping up her Vitamin D

Sorrento back beach
2025.3.15
Today, I visited Sorrento back Beach.
Swam only for five minutes.
Both the swell and the current
Were too high and too strong for me.
Fortunately, the Lifeguard Mason,
Assisted me to get down to the ocean,
Where the waves were less violent.
I held onto his yellow rescue board,
Under my armbit, as he instructed.
When the perfect moment arrived,
Mason asked me

Seaweed, My Favourite Acquired Taste
Seaweed, another nutritious meal,
With an acquired taste in a meal,
I desire for my breakfast,
What is the purpose,
Is it the cellulose,
That is so delicate to be pulled by the force,
Enhanced by the source,
Here, I found the origin,
I wish it would taste addictive like margarine,
Or tangerine,
In the summer,
I blenched it with salt and water,
It could not

Enjoying February
January around the corner
Once again
I blink my eyes
It has been replaced by February
Will I still be here by March?
Is this my last summer?
I am not getting younger
There is no fountain of youth
My classmates are dying off daily
Hourly, every minute
Of course they are! I tell my twin sister
This is normal; we are 72 years
February, the month

Enjoying the Holiday Season
It’s Thanksgiving Day.
First, we all convey
gratitude, for we are blessed.
Then comes time to dine.
Every dish is fine.
To this fact, we all attest.
Christmas time is here!
Gifts, goodwill, and cheer
fuel holiday delight.
Decorations glow;
kids play in the snow.
Church choirs sing “O Holy Night.”

enjoying day of the dead
Aha, it is Day of the Dead, November first.
The goblins, ghouls and witches run to quench their thirst.
Running to Mexico for another big night
Eating sugared skulls, quelching their appetite.
Wiley wicked warlocks and witches are arriving, high up in the sky.
The festival is magic, everyone is devouring potatoes and pie.
The demons are traveling through the city,

ENJOYING OLD AGE
Whoever succeeds in adopting a positive attitude towards old age,
The passing of years, would not appear an earthly burden on him,
But, heavenly bliss.

enjoying a Jamaican Proverb
Jamaican proverb
“when you see an old lady run, don’t ask what’s the matter
you run too”
I read this and laughed
I am old lady
I get it.
If I am running
there is a bear, a bull or an alligator chasing me
or maybe an enemy with a machete
great advice and marvelous proverb

Children, Children, All-Around
Children, children, all around,
In school, they laugh and bond.
Up the slide and down the swing,
Learning through almost everything.
Children, children, full of glee,
Play and learn so happily.
When the sun is shining bright,
In the garden, what a sight!
Planting seeds and watching them grow,
Nature's wonders they come to know.
Children, children, hands in dirt,
Learning science, nothing inert.
In the art

enjoying Mays Harvest Moon
oh, perfect harvest moon, my surprisingly wonderful friend
what are you doing, hanging around the sky in May?
we need you in October, so I sketch you rapidly
afraid you will disappear before I get your lines down right
the cherry blossom trees appear magically orange tonight,
there is a witch hazel ambiance in the wind
I feel like chanting, drumming,
