"love weaves a mysterious magic spell' in our dreams and yearning hearts
on the sunny day -your beautiful face beams with the sunflower gaze
in the dark starry nights- you sparkle with aura of a moon like face
In the garden- your tender body smells like cherry blossoms of spring
in the love's woven magic spell- when we walk on the beach- holding hands
the waves come beating to meet the shore- with constant melodious song
sand castles we build in sand-takes our dream to magical wonderland
when we get in the splashing water- we get washed with the spray of love
when we sit on the bench in the dusk-by the golden glittering pond
in the love's woven magic spell-whether we speak or not- we are one
little birds hovering overhead testify our magical love
hope this magical spell lasts forever- without it i will be doomed

# baptised in fire forced to drink bleach ~ tongue lost for words cancer speaks beneath #
Here comes the man, with unbreakable bones,
A brain of sawdust, muffles out his groans
Simple minded guy,
statuesque on the eye
Perhaps none too wise,
so was chose for sacrifice
There he goes, old twinkle toes, bobbing along
Never says a crooked word, nor puts a foot wrong
Upstanding chap,
til corruption set a trap
Forced to take the rap,
on him handcuffs slap
Here he comes again, his spine broken and bent
Never noticed that before, or the sterile scent
Still doesn’t know why,
for he never told a lie
Witnessed someone die,
but had no alibi
There he goes again, blending in with the dark
Can’t stand the spotlight, shows up prison marks
Such indelible stains,
God knows why they came
Numbers replace his name,
only a scapegoat remains

*The leaders of the eastern and western churches were on Lesbos, Greece, yesterday for to show solidarity with asylum seekers.
The pope was joined by the ecumenical patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church Bartholomew I and Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos II.
The religious leaders visited migrants in the camp, Moria. The Pope thanked the Greek people for having welcomed more than a million migrants last year, in spite the economic hardships the Greeks face. Migrants held signs saying "We are Humans"
Monoku Series: General Hospital
i had a brain mri last month
as expected, they found nothing
i asked could i do my own anesthetic
doc said, "knock yourself out"
last week i went to urgent care
it felt neither urgent nor caring
they had a specialist:
her specialty is diseases of the rich
she longs to open up her own clinic
but doesn't have the patients
my doc's advice: if you're skinny, don't eat fast
if you're not, don't eat... fast!
isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do,
"practice"?
overseen on a patient's chart:
no fever or chills but spouse claims she
was very hot in bed last night

Enjoy your Sunday, everybody!
open a blind eye ~ and see you're being duped by those using AI
sniff out those taking credit for cheating ~ real poets they're defeating
a concept I can't accept ~ from people whose poetry is inept
sometimes it's really difficult to prove ~ but an issue to behoove
call them out if it matters ~ don't serve them trophies on silver platters
if you couldn't care less ~ it's no wonder poetry soup is a mess
disheartening to say the least ~ is it possible to slay the beast
it's happening, there's no doubt ~ they're being given far too much clout
this message may be falling on deaf ears ~ if so, then I give up... cheers!

hell no waiter what's that fly doing in my soup?

not worth the stain on my shiny new suit ~ off with you beastly pest, scoot

mock me if you must ~ uninvited poetry comment i can't trust
—Add on by Robert Gorelick
Was this poem any good? It was or it wasn't!
No—A poem, like a song
grabs you or doesn't!
Don't be insidious!!
a pure fleshy heart
strong without any disease
covered by chest's sky
filled up with fragrance
no any harmful thought's dream
character's loving
caring feeling hides
nice environment lighting
in a perfect world
if it's perfect sure
a perfect earthly world's home
not less than heaven

* Deuteronomy 32:2
May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.

National Teacher Day is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week of May (May 3) and we’re more than ready to show our appreciation to those who have taught us. Everyone has had that favorite teacher that has helped inspire them. This day meant to honor them was actually made by a teacher. None other than First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself. Eleanor Roosevelt was more than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wife, she has a history of civic duty and was an advocate for fellow teachers. Her love for education began at a young age when she was privately tutored and encouraged by her aunt Anna “Barnie” Roosevelt. No matter how high she rose on the social ladder, she never forgot where she came from.
