Run
The truth is stranger than fiction.
As they say,
you can’t make this stuff up.
It was the middle of summer,
And I was looking for a way to defeat
Fort Sill’s Oklahoma heat.
Escaping to the cooler climate
of Buffalo New...

Prince Charming
How could you be so chaste
leaving me by myself to waste
Letting me rot away inside

A Friendly Exoneration
Twinkly bunch with loaded school bags
Ambition injustice and itching their backs,
Cunning those faces in front of the gate
Heedful pupils well-chosen apparently late.
A fistful primary breeziness
Shared with smiles, tears and silliness,
Together they brawled, together...

Trains
The first train, a smoke puffing monster, ran in India,
Moving like a millipede, cautious, yet, no phobia;
As though well-chosen astronauts, lucky four guests traveled,

Elusive Rambling

is never still
Inertia

Where stop and start
are nil

The Tragedy of Ceremony
Why do we sing as we shed our years away?
Time weeps for none.
Why do we bring flowers to a funeral?
The dead cannot see them.

Looking for adventure and escape,
a young girl's thinking of skipping school.
And a case of spring-fever finds her

Clothes Choices For Old Women
I dreaded it when I hit the age of waist band stretch.
The choices I have are butterflies with glitter; they make me wretch.
