Yes, there were certain
majesties, which
in all regards are 
to be expected.
For upon the engagements
of husband and wife,
Prince and Princess,
to marry, there is 
an exaltation, thought
the King guilefully.
As his snickered brow
advanced the courtyard's 
jester, feelings of...

Feel happy daze


Curious eyes feast

Waylaid by stuff
Hordes descend here;
Night bazaar tempts


Just for a while

Danced with death at age of five;
Her Daddy dead on morning drive;
Wrapped his Mustang round old oak tree;

Being a special breed, so to speak!

Daring to overcome Nature’s restrictions;
Ever passionate about their chosen delight,
For them, a garden is a hallowed site.

Amazingly, Alice assaulted an antelope
Because Bobby’s beavers became bold,
Considering cantilevered canines
Deliberately devastating donor’s doled.

Failing forlornly from forward fencing,
Gaining ground gathering genuine gold

Staring a straight blank;
Tear tinged mascara
