Inspiration In the Rain
I find inspiration in the rain
Soul-searching while it withers away my tears
There’s no inspiration greater than that of the rain
Small droplets on my windowpane
Slowly caress away my pain
I listen closely to the melody it makes
As it hits my terrain
I find inspiration in the rain
soupçon droplets on my skin…

Ballad of Big Lu
was once a dance hall girl named big Lu
she made men feel happy too
had an ache? she knew what to do
she worked in a saloon called little blue
most wives were jealous of Big Lu
she gave no lessons of what to do
and they did not have a clue
they shunned her on the street, our Lu
niece of

In My Heart - In Honour of Lu Loo
Listen to my "December lullaby"
"Oh, whispering willow"
With love for sister, "salt poured from my eyes"
For "I miss my yellow"
"She waves her wings", sighs "when the sad wind blows"
Her "medallion moments"
"My ethereal seraph" hardly knows
Her unique endowments
"Even without ink", "indigo silence"
Marked her "haven of hope"
"The beautiful dolphin" had no guidance
"Black dove",

Ode To Lu Loo- Don'T Go
Do not leave the park yet,
Whatever the compulsion,
Many friends owe a debt,
To your poetic excellence!
battles have never been won
by leaving the battle field,
But enemy has been undone
When the hurt do not yield!
So carry the pen as a gun,
To maim those who fired,
This battle has just begun,
Know you are much admired!!

Pirate Queen Lu
Windy day breezing past pirate queen’s lair.
Lifts dainty curls off her neck on a dare
Sunlight sprinkles reflected in her eyes
She dares the day to bring her a surprise
Brought in full grown mode to the Sanscript Sea
Her beauty surpassed by her bravery
Cowards and kings hide within their ships deep,
Reputation dulls bounty she does reap.
No man can

A Poem For Lu Loo, Aka Laura
She’s alive with words
That come from the heart
Loving, tender creations
That show her best thoughts

She’s filled with gentleness
That embraces my senses
Filling me with joy in knowing
A poetess who is so special

That colors her in vivid hues
Of faith, peace and wonderful
Love that is part of her essence

She’s kind beyond the word
Which means I’ve

Skip To My Lu
Yesterday
Hop Scotch
Yo Yos
Pin the tail of the donkey
Building skateboards
Playing War
Hide and seek
Skip rope
Tether ball
Climbing trees
Sneaking in the show
Delivering papers
Monopoly
Riding your bike no where
Playing ball in the street
Asking for free ice cream
Talking through tin cans
Building a fort
Looking at ant hills with amazement
Filling them with water
Drink water through a hose
Driving a pedal car
Teasing girls
Trying to sneak a

The Day I Messed Up Lu Loo Poem Contest
I embrace you…you hold me tight
Descending onto my grateful knees-
your genuine adoration still sustains
Bound by love and affection"
I sense your essence in the breeze
Saturated in loneliness were you
""A million fairytales tremble at us,
Sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection,
My alleviation found in perfection
As the tempest rages in warm rains
Fleeting into the ebon night; for our love

Nature's Gift
I never move,
Just patiently sit,
I wait for no-one at all.
I'm a home to many,
Stranger to none.
The lungs of the Earth I've been called.
Both dog and cat will frequent me,
I'm shelter from the rain.
The air you breathe has gone through me
And through the cycle again.
Against attack I have no defences,
Still careless man is so relentless.
I stand

When she tripped on a little twig

Why? Because she waved at a pig

What To Do With Lu
Frustration,consternation,even desperation
Nothing ever as good as it could be. You see,
Lu longs for that ...for both you and for me.
He is prideful and persistent, won't let us be.
We want honey but he gives us the bee.
Every time we try to do something good,
he lets us know we are livin' in his 'hood.So there's
no sense in

If Ava Lu Invited You
Spring tea,I'm invited
you are too ,'cause she's decided
underneath the willow tree
served a little after three
baby bear and kitty cat
sit right where they've always sat
but now she's put us on the right
beside the zebra black and white
they're already stuffed you see
from eating cookies at spring tea
