Fledglings in parental nest
...Way-lost as if we live in hoary past--
In epics of hist’ry poets have sung,
In portraits of culture, hoisted on mast,
Still, where are old glories, save on the tongue?
One knows of few people...

SPECIAL DAY WITH OUR SPECIAL CHILD

Zooming around the room in wheel chair-moves
our child greets us by his beeping toy’s cheer
allowing pets to bark and meow freely.
Gesturing to hush ...

somewhere along the way
long ago, the sound,
doesn’t come out the same

God In Nature
...ar"...!
Each creature proclaims beauteous divine nature,
Each little leaf "jingles" his love-legislature;
Slowly falls in landscapes "drizzly" drops; soothing-filled
"Pitter-patter" of rain, then, benign smoothing-thrilled...!
Am I hearing the breeze "gargling" to hear her throat?
Have pandemonium of parrot lost their coats?
"Crash" and "creak" and "croak" are heard from nook and corner,
Bull-frog, rat-snake or fish – which is fit for honor?

Dust; the bust roof withered away,
Pieces like tor...

Much smaller than I ever imagined
Is this the color they are?

I am almost afraid to touch her
She is wrapped up in a blan...

So totally engulfing her

Hair

I’m a hair on your head.

All alone on our bed.

Live every moment under the sun,
Why was I subjected to so much of misery?

Whose habits were beyond belief,
He'd bathe in custard
Whilst gargling mustard,
Then play the spoons on his teeth.
