My tummy is churning my head hurts too
My feet are cold my forehead is hot
I have a runny nose and a tongue with blue dots

“Mom come quick!” I helplessly...

No winter postcards of deep snow and bliss
No winter postcards of mistletoe kiss
Winter was cold, winter was tough
Winter was long and we all had it rough
No Father Christmas, no presents for us
No wide eyed kitten...

Geoengineering!

The majority of people 
On this beautiful planet,
All with their own lifestyles,
Culture, religion, 
History and tales!
When they see these,
Long white streaks,
In the sky,
They think 
Nothing of them
And call them 
CONtrails!
Busy with their lives,
Busy in their...

Arriving from unknown somewhere
He set up clinic in the market square
Declared he could cure any disease
Using herbal drugs of plants and trees
Townsfolk being credulous
Soon to his shop began to rush
Diabetics, rheumatics, asthmatics flooded
None over his...

She Goes Back
By Lillian J. Jeffrey


Whispers flow like a river
she will be sold
sold or rented like a cash crop

Born on a Maryland plantation
her mother works the big house
Harriet runs barefoot in the woods
side by side...

Topics of conversation seem to change as we approach maturity.
As kids we talked of love - now it's lumbago and social security!

We don't know how long we have left to live
and meanwhile I have filled up with petrol
and wait for the electric car.
Drawing-room oracles descend imberbi
on the sandy shore
soiled with supposed truths.
We witness the comedy:

BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

I have acute bronchitis
I hack and I cough
I say to the Lord
Haven't I suffered enough

He says to me
“You wanna bet
I'm not through, and
You ain't seen nothin' yet

You think you're sick?
Just look around
At those who...

There may be "Advantages" to smoking!
But, I can't think of any today!
It puts a great strain on your wallet,
but, it's really your lungs, that will pay!

Your clothes and breath will give you away!
They have that...

His suffering upon the cross our

Doctor determined I've got bronchitis
Use to think bronchitis was serious
It's serious enough but certainly not fatal
Once thought it could make you delirious

Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling that great
It's like my whole system is...

I once worked with a youth who had gingivitis
Twenty years younger yet she already had arthritis

Pretty enough in spite of her dermatitis
She so craved attention we all thought caused by meningitis

Winters seemed worse with time...

At the age of 10
I had an abundant amount of energy
I could never
be rid or get rid of it
there was just too much of it

At the age of 10
I was diagnosed with asthma
and Bronchitis

You are lying on the couch
God's perfect toes sprawled in that little fashion

He make them like they should be
I love them
Curling with every breath and snore

You read me something
Moses talking
I swear I heard the passage

But

Know that they should walks restrict
Or guards shall restrict their walks:
Make them suspend lengthened talks
Or with lengthened talk send down 
To the valley of the town…

Listen man, have you not heard the word?
Smoking is not good, its’ bad; its’ absurd.
Take note; smoking gives you lung cancer; 
Bronchitis, lung failure – makes you die faster.

Misty morning haze
Smoky skyline hues
Greyscale water colours


Sun floods milky
In smoky shades
Light losing tint


Dreary dawning
Ignominious feel
Runny colours fade


Weary spectacle
This ominous aura
No birds sing


Smoky persistence
Like old-time
Pestilence lingering


Rain rain come again
Clear the smoky haze
Let the children play!


There will...
