DIARY NOTES : Mad-House Maths

The home-bound Octogenarian trundles from the Mall's town centre
Back laden with the day's shopping
His hands numb from clutching load-packed plastic bags during the...

I, A. Robbie - Ham guilty for gobbledygook...
and ruffling turkey feathers!

An innocent A1 miss steak kin kith
once, a former main lion resident 
living social where Tigress and Euphrates 
converge and pool into Lake Wobegone ...

This is the other side, the eternal space hidden...
A world without skin and flesh,

despair hangs heavy 
in the air these days
 
but the only path
is through they say

gently gathering each
hoping for a catch...

one day as a boy, I went down to the sea
clambered o'er rocks way out to the bluff
stopping to search in a tide pool for shells
senses awakened by strong, briny smells
warming, the zephyr was gentle...

by

JOHN M. ARRIBAS

And On Love's Path May We Forever Trod

On Saturday morning I drive over to my daughter’s house unexpectedly.
She’s not the drop in kind of gal, but I don’t care.

I had a dream yestreen:
There was darkness' and light's, And I stood between;

There men spent ineffable rights, by and by.

There love was a sea, and virtue...

As he listened to the beating thoughts
Ideas began to make...

With murmured sounds, and giving me excuse
To burrow down and doze, with...

Light shines in...

Who ventured down south for some schoolin’
