Is AI Friend or Foe
Is AI a staunch friend with double face
that whispers “I love you, but will replace
Do its words capture a thought we just had
write it much better; if so, why be mad
Its chest of words is much greater by far
synonym surplus, its door stands ajar
by the way, their paintings lovely, also
Can there be wrong

Tardigrade
Tardigrade
Consider the lowly Tardigrade
To survive any environment, it is tailor made
Commonly known as the water bear
This handsome creature can live any where
From underground to the vacuum of space
It is no threat to the human race
Unless, it mutates and does grow
Then it looks like it could be a ferocious foe

Toe Shack
Toe shack
Put another log
On the near burnt out fire
They tell me to charge more
Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before
The Government is prohibiting the bites that is never chewed
Useless you write your story
Validation goes miscued
Let us fight any way we can afford
Don't think

Friend or Foe
there is a parasite amoung us that hides most of the year
once the temperature starts falling as does the leaves its there
right in our sight but out of our reach
so many stories on how it came about
some thought it brought fertility and others protection
it brought death to a Norse god
when all other plants are

The Velvet Thorn
A rose bush leans against the garden wall,
It blooms a riot of crimson whispers.
Petals soft as lover's lips unfurl,
While beneath, sharp sentinels stand guard.
This beauty bears a double-edged sword,
A paradox of gentle grace and hidden bite.
Velvet petals beckon, "Come closer, friend,"
While thorns hiss, "Beware, keep your distance."
In sunlight, it dances a waltz of shadows,
Casting lace

Foe
You pushed me down
you pulled my feet
you broke my crown
you made me bleed
you were my foe
and I didn't see
that you were right there
living with me.

Let you go
"I'll be there for you",
Said by the scars it drew.
I've got a will,
which was made to steal.
Eyes were too used to it.
Now they are just blind without it.
Never wanted it at any bait,
But that's what people call fate.
Now, I'll let it go.
Even if it makes me a foe.
You can never see me again.
Because I am

_________________________________________
Forgiveness is felicity fetching a hefty feud.
It warms our hearts and improves our mood.
To live calmly on Earth, embrace forgiveness.
Dexterously Defrock dawn air; discover dearness.
As a fury furrow flees, I forgive you—feigned foe.
Sustain stance—yessing zeal, solemnize and glow

From Friend To Foe
Oh, no revengeful girl,
don't step on my toe...
thinking it won't hurt;
weren't you a precious pearl?
Oh no, you go from friend to foe,
digging up unnecessary dirt!
Stop going around in mad circles,
you can try to hide every truth;
no, the cleverest scheme is not worth
stirring up the water with pebbles!
Oh, no I have spoiled you enough,
it's time

Poison
Substance with death plan or harm,
To recover from it Luck’s charm;
Planter taker has lost his farm,
Not likely to help ‘Raised Alarm’.
In one’s bowel begins its strike,
All good organs poison dislike;
Doctor fetched with the quickest bike
One should not with poison self spike…
Some poison through in a minute
Their wasting strength quite infinite:
Who solves problems with one

Mistake and Something Is At Stake
I’ve observed that one’s big mistake
Ties others to as big a stake
And an all-the-time “Time to drink!”
Enough to a vibrant mind shrink:
A mistake to tell “Get out, Snake!”
And duly fear like a dark lake…
I’ve noticed: one’s daily night walk
A reason for foe to one stalk;
Certainly, not for a sweet talk:
For a fight he might mark

A Day Worth Looking Back
Looking back on my graduation day
I got goosebumps
I got nostalgic
I got blissful tears
I got jokes to share
I got stories untold
I would wish a million times,
Only if cloak could turn back the time
I would tell my
Friends and foe
Teachers and Principal
I missed them all.

Incubus
Bringing sins from my past
Into the present, a twinkling
Filling my thoughts, sprinkling
My heart in shadows to last
This feeling, this darkness
Colors my feelings in black
Doubt comes with it to attack
Leaving my heart with starkness
It brings depression and sorrow
Beyond any fears, tears or years
Silenced by the blackest affairs
Worrying the joyous in tomorrow
With his evil destruction, he abides
In

Life - Glum Or Foe
In care of me but usual
as I am always looking
closely with my life
that's so happy.
My life is as likely
a friend who likes me
though I don't know it,
starving like a hunger.
A magical ball on me
that's surround's me
like a sheep or cattle,
grazing for their feast.
As a friend or foe I don't like it,
but comes me as a
