Indeed
I'll succeed

and cherish waxing love
and...

About 600 BC sailors went down the East African shore
A Pharoah had sent them, afraid of an oncoming war
They rounded the coast at the African horn
Astonished at what they saw that morn.

If Old Men Fought
An old man looking out his door,
gaze fixed on a distant shore,
reminiscing to a time, not of happiness,

The Wretched of the Earth (For the Katrina Hurricane Victims)

The strong movement of the wind
Accosted by volcanic ceaseless water
Stuck and struck endlessly
It held grip to all that ever
Existed in New Orleans
It reminded me of the
Beginning when...

Idioms Part 1
1/18/17
Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap
Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions
You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense...
