unconditional acceptance and respect
crafted with the following words 
mostly written January 23rd, 2023,

Onerous task confronted teachers and parents

Absolute deafening silence...

during and after a moderate snowfall
today January 19th, 2024,
within Southeastern Pennsylvania
and elsewhere across the Eastern Seaboard,
whereby blanket of whiteness

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,

reuptake inhibitor named fluoxetine (Prozac)
aside from countless
(approximately seven) other
prescription medications kept

Humus me? My vegetated chokes ingest!
(jokes all in jest)

Hard to believe, I orange in a lee
started life as barely visible speck!

Just in the course of healthy growing

I know from personal experience
the foolhardiness of
courting, flirting, honeymooning...

Earth day 2020 – Wednesday, April 22

Bajillion banshees scream bloody murder methought
upon Biblical (lionized) forebears stalking heads

As night draped its cloak over Baltimore's sleeping form,
A cargo ship, the MV Dali, sailed to greet the dawn.

Through my bloodstream pulsing,
Insidious poison runs rampant.
