Just a tad so you are
Fooled
There’s not a ring
not a vow

in the whole Oaxaca alfalfa field

But I’m beginning to feel a bite unpleasant,
putting on my...

We tilled the earth, under sun we toiled
We pledged our souls, to nature’s whim
The King of France none to pleased

We held our faith, mournful to fates embrace
The British demanded...

Memories of a lotus flower love

What they ended up with was TOPEKA

Life’s Metaphor
Written: by Miracle Man
11-21-2019 

Life is a scrimmage for eternity,
At birth we’re put in the game,
and how we perform is crucial.

And even though we may fumble,...
