Sweet flowers in the library,
there to enrich an eager mind
with tales of lore and mystery.
Sweet flowers in the library,
and dreams abloom are quite pretty
in sunset colors, where light shined!
Sweet flowers in the library,
there to enrich an eager mind.
Right now in Nigeria
People reject The Rear
Or just say The Rear fear
And warn their Treasured Dear
Never to The Rear near...
No Fine Hats; Plain Head Gear
Instead of Good Gun, Spear
Meeting Familiar Beer,
Where only Paupers cheer…
Right now in Nigeria
Love begins with A Leer
For Enrichment A Seer…
Right now in Nigeria
Spirit - Swarmed Fearsome Ria
And Bandits that flesh sear!
The inspiration is ours,
but the wisdom is of all...
We must read others
poets for our own
enrichment.... !
Choosing Me
I sing today with a joyful heart,
for the dark-clouds had left from wavering over the top.
I wake in the light of the sun now,
and the birds once again sing with me in a relay.
The flowerings' spread all about in the fields,
with the thickets alongside them in balance.
The scent of the lavender and lilacs; I do thee smell,
brings about the enrichment of what you brought to my life.
The hours of my yesteryears will never fade from you,
for you have not only shown what the meaning of life was,
but the bliss of the purpose is hard to fathom.
Thank you, my love, for choosing me!
Heavens open dreary gray, cool breeze, as silence swears.
Emotion choked, refusing to give in to the tears.
Without a doubt it sees the parched; what if it threatened.
Halted, as the world spun round million miles a second;
wrapped its' arms, squeezing fast, thunder roars, dislodging tears.

Skinny kid in baggy clothes
hovers in front of your house.
With eyes hidden behind a half-cocked
Yankees hat, he spies the stroller and
other items on your porch like a
chicken hawk ready to swoop.
We burst from our spot with
advantage of perception
and a thrill for the hunt
to spook the predatory misfit
as he runs to the back of
his Isuzu to slam shut the hatch
before hopping into the purring
machine to tear up the road,
wounded but not vanquished.
We share a knowing glance
that reverberates with a message
blazing the synapses with one word,
“diligence”.
chicories in the
morning -- the many eyes of
God analyzing
our virtue's readiness to
shed light on others' petals.
