Examples which I call decoding.
Yeah decoding the Inglish language.

They told him
Help her to heal

can cover a straggly skin?

Mere survivors under this hungry consuming California sky.
Before you can reach high to the stars, my friends,
Both feet must firmly be set upon the ground first.
This, in essence,...

Dear Santa had been busy, traveling the night, so very long.
He left us for last, as we were always gave him, a lot of pain.

backwards-looks down.
Sudden thrust, feet leave ground, heart 
pounding. He leaps.
