Abode stomen forest cooryin
His bow to grasp for thapas focann
Budnod his color to braainyn.

Boinkin todew at the corner fugid
Komparidin woo his sidmodar.
But in that it was tomanee solak
Adee toof her kame not widher
And starmin down the lane wid fojak

Alas, no morin to fogiffen vocit

Antern to strollen afar in combosit
She tuderist manshe luvon vowed.

'MY DREAM VACATION'
Stunning, amazing, outstanding view!
Bright sunny sky,
The sea such a beautiful blue.
Walking barefoot, feeling the softness of sand,
With a gentle breeze,
There's such beauty on this land.
Boats sailing,
Surfers galore,
People having fun!
I pick up shells on the shore.
Clean fresh air,
Not a car in sight,
Peaceful, calm and such a delight.
A gentle stroll along the sea,
Splashing quietly against my toes,
There's no better place to be.
Enjoy the peace and tranquility,
It feels special,
It's for everyone to see.
We should appreciate the beauty around,
Days go so quickly,
We have all found.
For now this vacation is all in my head,
But hopefully soon, we will all be together,
It will be reality instead!
A lonely oak sways to an autumn hymn
as the woodcutter mends her broken limb.
Note to reader: This is a two line couplet that tells the lovely story of a lonely woman who is found by a gentleman (hymn/him) in the autumn of his life. Instead of taking her down, like he may have done in his younger years, he mends her broken heart.

When others spoke about me, my emotions did sway
Realized for peace, detachment is the only way
