The night I spent at the homeless shelter
Was due to fear of being helter skelter
By my aunts husband a retired marine
Who pointed a shotgun as he screamed
I was a guest in their habitat house
It took much less for me to get out
He won’t do it my aunt would say
But I didn’t trust and had a babe
In my arms my curly brown infant
His smile charms except the demented
So I left went by taking a bus
No place to go no one to trust
Eventually I called my father
Despite his addiction he did bother
A friend he knew for us to crash
Live at his home sleep in his pad
Hurricane Hugo hit Charlotte hard
I was blessed despite it by God
During the storm I breastfed
Kept baby warm in quilt red
Sometimes storms are to guide
Despite my circumstances I would fly
Graduate college not once but twice
Lost my desire to sing but instead write
Looking back I know God is a way maker
That me and my son were blessed by Savior
cross your welter of confusion
i think of you often
in your sadness
questions still standing
a laps wrung of live
i see no clement sky
its the space i'm trying
that courts the day
Helter skelter Henrietta hen had a lot to say
Wiggling her tail feathers at me today
I knew now that the bozo loved to play
She did a happy dance and a slide sashay
Be comfortable in your feathers she said to me
Now she was jiving on the limb of a tree
I will do my best, I replied as I watched her spree
She did the happy dance and a spin just for me
Your farewell made me
deaf for the common sense;
word-blind and love-mute.
GREEN eyes with flecks of honey
Bright smiles that make days sunny
Warm hugs from you, my bunny
Kisses that are so yummy!!!
Others are GREEN with envy
Cause you are oh, so trendy
You drive me in your Bentley
Your touch brings me to frenzy
You are the best apple GREEN
One bite and I am a queen
Your love explodes on the scene
Oh, GREEN boy, where have you been?
G racious and gorgeous are you
R acy and rambunctious too
E dible down to the core
E xciting, you give me more
N aughty but nice, MR GREEN,
THE BEST GREEN, I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything GREEN
"Tertium guid...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spending a few moments pondering
The syllogism of existentialism, and
All of the pages of histories
Finds, movements, theories and themes....
The intricities; complexities
Compounds; variables and factors
Real or imagined?
Proven, and reproven
Or, reasonings and conclusions
Breakthroughs!?
How far we've come
How far we've gone
On and on, and on and on....
Scientifical; anthrolifical; astronomical
Enlightenments, and advancements
Psychological; philosophical
Both, for me and you
That is, if we do, share
The same points of view?
Oh how I love complete silence
Stillness....
The meditation of contemplation
Trying to take hold, of the transitory
And to incise it, into forevers
Monomorphic stone!?....
Standing amid, a quaglistic earthium
Chisms of revisums; revisums, of the isms
Circular conjugation, concoursing
It's configurations....
Unbeknown, toward, a conflagration
Beyound the eyes?
This, schizogenic, schizogenesis
Genesis, of another nature
"Dementia Praecox"....With no eraser!
Gabylon, now in every nation....
Welcome, to, "My View!!!"
