Premium Member This Is No Fable
I was relaxing in my sunroom, one very peaceful afternoon,
Enjoying the fables of Aesop, and all the flowers abloom.

People going loco

Humans addicted to chocolate aka cocoa
And the other kind of coco (cocaine)

Testing skills from the beginning of time

When she appeared in the corner of my eye
Being carried gracefully by the wind
I believe she wanted to be my friend
She had rainbow wings and big brown...

That Robin
Female, I felt! Chirped differently than on other days!
As though crying and screaming in many ways

Soul Searching
I meandered through the muddy Mekong
Searched in sultry sexy Saigon
Ravished in the Cat Thien Rain forest
Yet I still could not find you

I found myself haunted in Hong Kong
Caught up in the cacophony of China
Trailed my...

a common companion strolling the riverside
with more than just the moon willing to chat
where words resonated with hand-cut diamonds
lighting up my vision and your restful eyes
where missed...
