Think twice move once keep an...

wondering : or going astray.
these grasses are as green as the one's

watched the people that I passed.

to give a smile or even...

Of a sultry midsummer house party in...

Though it feels to me long, was the blink of an eye.
Daydreaming, daydreaming, as a young child I grew,
With no distinguishing marks between me and you.
I’m growing, I’m growing, came...

Shall it be Pumpkin, Apple, Mince, or Date?

under the umbrella of a starry night’s full moon
stand at a podium overlooking the vast blue sea
in foreign tongues half ad lib and half reciting

I’d stand...

Spontaneously planned picnics on a particularly pretty afternoon
Evenings made misty by a...

A golden fish in the 
Blui-sh ocean of love
A Flounder with no blunder
That makes me hover at yonder

A Deltan fish with a Yoruba scale
