I adorned the keys
I just did not want to sing
But I'm 'Feeling Good'
Now, I 'Put A Spell On You'
Talented Nina Simone

I'm okay with blending in.
I've never cared much about popularity, or sticking out from the rest.
I'm fine with being forgettable.
I'm there.
I exist.
That's more than some people can say.
But even the ones who are no longer here have left their impact.
After all, there's a point to every encounter.
I'm just not sure how memorable my encounter would be.
I know I'm not flashy or colorful.
A peach-hued island rests upon a sea of navy blue wool, candy-corn horns curling out from beneath its waves.
Maybe I'm a bit pretentious, a bit silly.
But I keep on hoping I'll find a friend one day.
I've got to keep on hoping, because it's the only thing I've got.
I might not care what the world thinks, but sometimes a little town's opinion means more than a planet's.
And I want to hear them all.
After all,
There's a point to every encounter.
(Another animal crossing poem that I wrote for youtube, this one is about Eunice the sheep.)

EUNICE WAYMON IS MS. NINA SIMONE!
We shun what we can't overcome.
That's when it is positive image that supersedes all.
How?
Wrong is the element that is not embraced.
Why?
A wrongful world cannot exist without a rightful way!
The strengthen truth is therefore found...
Eunice Waymon is Ms. Nina Simone,
As Verlena S. Walker is a Poet and Philosopher.

Mi: Does God eat his boogers?
Eu: No of course God doesn't eat his boogers.
Mi: But I thought God could do anything.
Eu: Well he could eat his boogers but he just wouldn't.
Mi: So he does have boogers.
Eu: I don't know, I don't think God has boogers.
Mi: God can have anything he wants.
Eu: I don't think he wants boogers.
Mi: I don't think we can understand the mind of God.
Eu: We can't.
Mi: Maybe god is a booger.
Eu: God's not a booger.
Mi: But if God is all things, he's an all-knowing booger.
Eu: Stop it.
Mi: He's a wrathful all-knowing booger.
Eu: I'm not talking to you anymore.

The song about you is love.
I have knitted your laughter
In the coven of my heart to rest,
fondled your smiles to rest in peace,
Remembering your defeat to hatred.
We'll sing of you in unison uptown
the mountain of the world of Benue
to declare freedom to your unborn dreams.
Your stories of realities shall be
sounded at Idoma clan of your bravity.
May we always remember this:
We'll paint on the walls of joy
never shall your sun Smit you!
You are of a great woman of strength,
bottling the flashes of the timid moon
and keeping the glowing of your smiles.
You are a Queen of the middle belt,
the awaken light of bouncing tomorrow
brighting many souls deceived by westernization.
You have a tale in your eyes of eyes
which shall resound farther soonest,
when Idoma and the world shall behold you,
we will dance along the field of longativity
of age which heaven endowed you with.
...and I said my birthday wishes.

Well my life has been unexpected,
Sometimes it makes me think what I ever did,
I’ve lost both my son and my daughter,
I feel like I should just be slaughtered,
But then I think about it again,
And he made me a very strong person,
They say he don’t put you thru nothing you cant take,
But it seems my whole life has been taken away,
All I’ve ever wanted was to be a mommy,
But at this point it doesn’t look like im going to be anything,
I miss my son and daughter so much,
All I want to do is feel their touch,
And see their pretty faces,
And for them to be here for Christmas,
But that ain’t going to happen,
So I just have to live with the sadness,
It’s a lot to take in at once,
But hopefully one day ill get over this hump,
Until that day,
I'm going to keep my head up and stand up straight…
