An angel celebrated her birth

No greater gift than the birth of a child
Celebrated with...

Macbeth Makes His Move

By Elton Camp

But to him I am also of very close kin

But on a...

When I was called little brother, 
I smiled.
It meant I have an elder sibling.
One from whom I could learn,

Enquire.
Even fewer,

At Dinner on the banks of the Danube

Tomorrow and tomorrow. The nightingale serenades the

I was born, shorn of my mother
Where freedom was for one, and for another
In a song where I lay strong, ain't this all just a noisy slumber

My poetry reveals a lot about me
I feel many know much about me
I am 50 + married housewife, female

My father when I was thirty-one

Hot winds blowing everywhere
Golden glistening dress all wear
Jade, peridot, emrald leaves in trees
Sway sanguinely in summer breeze

Stunning sunrise and sunset
Seductive colours of sun's pallette
Cloudless, clear, charming sky
Magnificent moon, mesmerises eye

Myriad melodic chirps reverberate
Flamboyant flowers for...

A weakness wound its wicked way inside
where thoughts of “us”, not love, do dwell and swell,
and formed a nest of twigs to stay the tide
yet cresting waves of righteousness rebelled.

Oh, October I love thee
You bring much glee

Rains are gone
Sky is clear
Sunrise, sunset paints hued picture
A beauty to behold

Clothes dry faster
Evenings cool breeze caresses

Birds are out with melodic music
A pleasure to watch and...
