Basel
I am walking around Basel
The city not the herb
I’m not doing a Basel
Because Basel is not a verb
The streets spew tongue twisters
From mouths of many shapes
Beautiful river vistas
With succulent seedless grapes.
In a few hours I wish to emigrate
Set up my life in this efficient city
After a while I understand
It’s not that good, it’s a pity
I’m

Saman's herb
Saman’s herb
Oh, samans, from the past, from exotic lands, thank you for my new life
Thank you for my new dreams, perspectives, hope, fantasy, and fate
Yes, a blocked life got a new direction in his life of you – goodbye past
Oh, Samans! I love your life, your first tea was a great blessing to my life
I

Loretta Devil ---- to the tune of Cruella Devil
Loretta Devil
Loretta Devil
She thinks she's queen of the hill
When she's hitting that herb at will
The smack of her lips, the glaze in her stare
All the people beware
She's like a star with no skill
Watch out for Loretta Devil
At first you think she's deranged
But then you smell that skunk on the range
And realize her eyes are so

Song Written by Herb about deceased Wife
What Else? (A song-lyric for my late wife, Lorenda)
You found all my hiding places,
charted all my shifting phases
peeling layers like an onion:
soaring visionary woman.
Flying all the way above blue,
what else can I do than love you?
Changing lives is easy to do,
magic comes so breezy to you.
Life for me was too dramatic,
nothing was just automatic.
Now I'm

Herb
As the flame of his lighter danced,
I was momentarily so entranced.
As I began to prepare my pipe,
For herb for I am so ready and ripe.

Self Medication
Now Foreign Medicine, next Forest Herb,
Heart rate jumps, floored figure in a kerb;
Emergency phoning of a doc
Won't to acting like the Hardest Rock
"Doc, please, what do I do: I mean, now?
Also say 'How' or I'm a dead cow,"
From now on Doc to know about it.
Every fancied healer, full or split...
One's clear challenge to be

Belladonna
Lavish wicked exile
Florid amends futile
Beware o’ noxious veins
Fatal nature remains
Faultless lulling bell
Malign lethal quell
Belladonna most fair
Nary mercy to spare
Lavender-hued bane
Deceit assured reign
Hush now carnal lilt
Expiry nigh upon wilt
Ne’er partake blithe sip
Toxic upon mortal lip
Alas formidable jane
Elixir harbors chicane

Better Than Coffee
Microwave a mug of water with
A bag of Orange Spice herb tea ...
Long enough to make it hot,
But not burn your tongue – about 85 seconds.
Toss the tea bag and stir in two packets of Stevia, then
Choose today’s cocoa and measure out two rounded teaspoons.
Will it

The Nazis Wrecked His Herb Garden
The writing on the wall
Explained it was “degenerate”.
Don’t ask me.
Nazis can be crabby.
He took it for the sign it was:
‘If they’d deface some matter of taste,
it’s only a matter of time ...’
So he booked and brooked the Rhine,
And came to Boston
And showed the kids
How he made his herb garden.
And when I was

Beloved grandson - child with autism - hyposensitive - embraces hugs, dancing and head pressure; designed for him, from our hearts, a magic place of scents and textures – pungent rosemary, feathery dill, aromatic mint, furry sage, sweetest balm and fragrant, woody lavender.

Smell That Lavender
Just breathe in,
violet meadows,
lavender’s relaxing elixir,
passive perfume permeates
the olfactory,
ah...such sweet slumber!
