Long Amelia Poems

A Bagpipe am I,
My drones point to the sky!
I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day.

He gave me the gift of immortal time,
I could travel through centuries,
T’was a gift.
It was...

Let my ears deceive me but I hear it, can't bother to drown it out
the taunting laughter at my misery
Fictional should they be but the reality has cleared the camouflage
which hath once shrouded me
Exposed and...

One day I ran to Grandpa and I looked into his ear.

Herstory from Battlefields to Laboratories
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

Beneath stardust's scattered gleam, 
Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

We rise like a chorus harmonizing 
...In this vast of an eternal fold.

What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem

At your window
At 3 am
With a bag full of
Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

But I want justice for this
I keep retriggering your created catastrophes...

The voice of my very dear sister
And although her words gave me great pain
I always had to be with her

I see Babe Ruth, knocking balls...

Hoarding a leprechauns pot of gold

While getting ready to depart

In the baggage of a hitchhiking Pharaoh

Two little sparks
enlightening the dark

(tidal waves tugging on the heart)

One named Amelia, the other Aurora:
Completing the scenery --- fauna and flora.
But Borealis, she has no stake in the matter,
for she is just a melancholy rainbow

Where contestants eat as much as can

To gobble up these dishes
Standing by were huge black pots

No one can find her anywhere.

I guess that's what comes from being the first.

She hop scotches a pirate on one leg, 

Tip-toeing long sun cast morning shadows,

Under an early Sun, fingers whir in a...
