Be of Few Words
With her nose in a thesaurus daily
she accumulated a vocabulary
bachelors found extraordinary.
The result was unsurprisingly typical:
Not one date and not one proposal.
(Ladies, be of few words and cautious,
no man wants to bed with a thesaurus.)

A Few Haiku For Morning Tea
Memories
cracked teacup -
still too full
to throw away
Sounds
insomnia -
all these sounds
I'd miss if I was asleep
Sudden Revelation
distant lightning -
the silhouettes
of so many dead trees.
Rain
no longer with us
yet the rain still fills
her water bowl

Old age, a few years far off
Whene'er my old age is on blame,
A few years far off gets than I’m.
As learnt I’ve to push goal,
Thanks to hints from my soul,
My youth whilst sprouts a twig on stem.

A few lessons of grief
Each person grieves in their own way,
processing loss is never easy.
It helps to have understood early on
that nothing lasts forever.
Death is part of this life that's transient,
the end never comes when opportune.
It's comforting to focus on the treasures,
no matter how short the love has lived.
And what remains within the heart,
enshrined, resides in there forever ~

We sit a few inches apart, with bright screens separating us through an invisible ocean
We sit a few inches apart, with bright screens separating us through an invisible ocean,
We speak in pre-packaged echoes, algorithms feeding us thoughts that are not ours at all,
I send you a message, and you respond with a reaction, a digital finger, a drawn heart that disappears,
We gather in crowded rooms, silent, bowing our heads

A Few Questions About the Word of God
The Bible is said to be the Word of God -
a belief that many people regard with awe.
But I have several questions that I need to ask.
First, do I need to ask forgiveness for taking God to task?
I have no desire to offend anyone or say anything unsavory,
but is it the Word of God that

A few will suffice
"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world." - Leo Buscaglia
I need not many friends in this my life~
A few will suffice, if they do wonders,
As caring and kind as a loyal wife,
Their presence resounds like distant thunders.
More beauty is found in a single rose
Than in weeds that overrun a garden.
Their

Here's a few
Here's a few..
New eyes
A story
May be startling
Where before the
Story passed over..
Yet newness is
Without interruption...
Education
The accumulation
Of stories
The filter through which
Other stories appear..
Boundless...
Various
Storylines appear
For what seems
A character..
These appear
Immediacy
And gone...
AI
May provide
An engaging story
Seeming to suggest
An awareness
An immediacy..
Yet separation seems
Intact in relaying
What others have said..
Including a story of
Nothing by no one...

TOUGH TIMES
When things start getting tough
Everything start getting rough
Many will say, you're lazy
Some will say, you ain't working hard
Like it's by power or myth
Only few will understand, due to their awareness.
When the night starts coming
The sun start going
Time always make the difference.
When everything starts crumbling
You start stumbling and fading
Everything becomes very crazy

John Hemingway -The Last Of The Few
John Hemingway has died at the age of a hundred and five
It was the luck of the Irish he said that helped him to survive
At the age of nineteen he left his home in County Dublin
And enlisted in the Royal Air Force and was officially sworn in.
It was at the age of twenty-one that

Rain?
The water in the bay

a dark wall stretches upward
more rain is forecast
for this moment beauty prevails

A Few More Miles Ahead of Time
I often wonder if it’s worth the effort
with a keyboard or paper and pen
to pour out my thoughts, heart, mind and soul
from the ocean and rivers within
The marrow in my bones
hidden deep within these veins
“This universe is a miracle,”
I’ve heard Einstein once proclaimed
Though admittedly, I’m not near his kind

Some Few Facts In Life, Gospel And History
The horizon is the demarcation of heaven and earth
It is the distance between time and space
It is the world between dream and reality
It is the comparison of matter and immaterial
It is the place between things seen and unseen
It is the work between mortals and immortals.
The mountains is one of the place of God's secret
Mt. Sinai
