The golden stain

The golden stain of the sunshine
Made the sea water shine like gold
And gave egrets at the coastline
The golden stain.

The egrets came with their household,
To make the water like their shrine,
Their beaks and wings defied the cold.

Young egrets stayed at the shoreline~
Their playful nature they unfold,
Still gifting the twilight skyline
The golden stain.

I Don't Know When To Stay Up

There is a hut,
I'm riding on a rut,
I hope it does not rust,
I don't need to be hasty,
Where things can in a hurry,
I am a bit blurry,
I made it on the top of a cherry,
You don't need to feel sorry,
I saw something shiny,
Soon, it will be rainy,
I hope it is sunny,
Until the water stream is

Young One

In my mind
There lives a child
Scared, trembling
Wounds still bleeding
Young one, I did not wish this fate on you

But the world is cruel
There is no safe place to hide
They will always find you

Young one, do not blame yourself
You did not cause this
Do not blame the world
For you’ll grow bitter 

No one will love a bitter soul
No

A Language Without Words

I. 
they say 
there exist languages without words
without syllables yet pronounced,
like the sharp clatter of fork and spoon and knife against each other
at dinners in our family.
a vase shattered to the floor last night
at an hour way past our bedtime.
sister and i know that only one room in the house is embellished with a vase

Premium MemberMystic Household-

If witches,
Would wash dishes

On continue to continue to clean the house
Just what would become of the dead mouse

Warlock staggering falls on the floor
A drunken spirit consumes his soul

It's Saturday. bath night 
Children trolls cleansed now sleeping right

As the goblins prey, they say grool night

Harmonious Household

A complete and loving family 
enhances their spiritual life, 
serving the Lord together. 
They use sufficient time 
to strengthen the bond 
between parents 
and siblings 
before 
God.

Household Devotional Prayer

The spread of poverty and hunger 
is witnessed all over the world. 
Even in these trying times, 
God's heirs never worry, 
making use of their 
great privilege 
to pray to 
God for 
help.

Premium MemberHousehold Supplies and Grocery Roulette

Since I've turned 3 quarters of a century old
And have a hole in my heart I'm told
Sitting on top of that a small tumor
This definitely isn't a run away rumor  

I am old and slightly fat(well some say obese)
Controlled diabetes on top of that 
Hypertension makes its mark
Sometimes I even seem smart . 

Then

Premium MemberHousehold Cosmonauts

I want to rearrange rooms with you,
Sipping steeped teas and coffee beans. 
Pondering an existential anamnesis;
"The aloe should go here."

I want to want little victories,
Shape sovereign lands from the exigent patriarchy of our uncordial entente.
Reap what worlds within worlds are ours from the wars of decor.

Where the couch lives is where the war is won.

The Hippopotomouse

THE HIPPOPOTOMOUSE

A rare and dangerous species
is the hippopotomouse
If you get one in your attic
Then you’d better leave your house.

Trinkets

These i spy with my little eye
tossed aside, two black-and-white die
silver glinting of a spoon
little green soldiers in a platoon
things you forget around the house
things i pick up, quiet as a mouse
a pencil here, a postcard there
pins and buttons to fill my lair
and ever so softly during the night
when the owl hoots and the moon

'head' of the Household

Mother carved a pumpkin head

Boy, how it filled me with dread.

Laughing, "it looks so real I said,

It could be taken from the dead."

I thought she'd smile, but instead

I saw her flush, her face went red.

I asked "where is father, still in bed ?"

It was then that mother fled.

Better Household Income

??

Over there in the rural countryside where I'm  at currently....
Gravel road, water and electrical woes are challenges daily....

Hardly any economic activities that bring in cash money..
Barring the staff in the usual government machinery...
And those in some private enterprises and companies...

The village folks are really poor and severely cash strapped...
Saved those fortunate ones in the

Growing Up In a Christian Household

Growing Up In A Christian Household 

My dad was such a FRAMER then that I oft just felt like a FARMER,  
No alternative routes accepted, no reasons other, 
Only their special Christian gospel that did mother, 
Slippy slimy slowness, a slave’s sleeve slipped in for sloth.
