An eggplant need not taste nor look like egg,
Nor in a hamburger ham need be there,
Where's pine, apple in pineapple, I beg?
Nor yet french-fries in France invented were.
They native are— American pure blood,
Wherein was born...

It’s great living in a country town that still can offer peace,
when I come home from a stressful day to finally release
all the tension from a hectic job, that near leaves me in a heap,
and...

I have no place to call home
I have no man to call friend
Alone in this dreadful world
With the sky as my roof:
And the clouds as my blanket
How safe can I be?
I am a sojourner!

I go...

What Life's Treasures And Sweet Gems Should Be

Life's gems should be,
more than anxiety, sad sorrows, cryptic words
Man existing should be,
more than blind, slavish-chained beasts in huge city herds.

Living life true and well should be,
more than...

A week ago, I went to a funeral,
A father of two children was died,
She was weeping terrible,
And blaming God for this punishment.

He was feeling pain for three days,
Doctors were investing his pain,
After few reports they...

To hell with them! I never think of them 
I forget they exist, until I spot them 
Then I get mad!

Oh yes, I loathe them so, as much as I do roaches
I loathe them so...

Yes, I have often seen, the early rising sun
when I wake to witness, another day begun.
But when I see tomorrow’s, it will surely be the best!

Yes, I have seen the Seasons, in ritual  parade,

I had another lover over last night.
Loneliness.
Knocking on my door, even though he has his own key.
Beneath my silent covers he crawls.
Mummers moist against 
my blue bruised sighs.  I confess salty, soft, sins.
Embrace.
Under stale...

The sun has become the source of such anguish
I wish it would obscure itself behind the clouds
I long to see that lively flame extinguished.

It is always there. I feel it burn through my pride. ...

A monarch known as Flutterby
ruled her kingdom by being herself.
She encouraged others to do the same.

Visit every garden that suits your fancy
