Premium Member Ecological Imperatives
Ecologists seem more aware
than economic and political scientists

and river valleys
and their forests
with canopies of shade
enlightened from above by sun,

As their eyes burning the midnight oil. 
Darkness sculpted into poetry.

Premium Member A Letter To My Adolescent Self
Dear Edward,

Grow out your wings first 
before you flap them, little bird.
Your wings aren't strong enough 
to fly just yet; keep your feet firmly 
planted on the ground, for now.

Keep the wheels of your dreams...

Happiness is a loving family in another city
True friends stab you in the front

Success never depends on
The way you dress or speak
What it demands for
Is your happiness at its peak!

Who thinks of himself to be the best
Life instead proves to him that

The blueprint marked the plan of her life.
Just like an architect she was, she constructed it perfectly
Drawing it to the very detail she wanted it to be.
Ink dripping, paper raffling, on to work she was.

Growing on the sides of highways
During unnatural seasons;
The kind for which you would
Come
To a screeching halt
To get out, run back,
Dart and dodge between
Speeding...

Swim upstream
Enjoy the fruit of their labor
riding on the coattails of the devil,
Chase rainbows and find the

Notice people moving here and there…
Engaged in their routine activities…
Minding not their surroundings!
