Long Take a rain check Poems

Started before last October
Going beyond Passover
Pettiness and greed always gave off a bad odor

Oh! Father Time, please help us to understand
Why as children we had plenty of time.

Felt by every walking voyage underfoot.
Moveless waves showing compassion remoteness,
Never moving the minute hand,
Leaving lips of hour-glass speechless.
Breezy chill jaunting the moment of one,
Season freeze for the life remaining.

I am the magic bean,
Pretty seed among the grains.
I am the matriarch of beauty;
Check at my mascara if I lied.

 In my  house I keep a pool,
Wherein I bath everyday;
In sun or rain check...
