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…
Lu Xun rhymes begin to reiterate, as it wanes my heavy heart away
There is no inspiration greater than that of the rain

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 old Teddy V. Waterloo
She retained her confidence, our hero, Lu
married up with a rich guy named Tiny Stew
could now be respectable in town of Slew
stuck-ups wanted to be her friends now too
but now they were shunned by our hero, Big Lu
who remembered how snotty they would do
they were just too damned mean to Big Lu

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!!

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 match the courage of this lass.
Best hold your breath until your ship goes past.
The pirate queen, Lu lives a pretty life.
Her pirate army wins with little strife.
Until she meets Baron Barr, big and bold.
Their story is one that never gets old.

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 peek
Cookies in school for a dime
Trading lunches with a friend
Staring at the moon with wonder
Today
Playing video games

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 between both you and the Sun
Enduring the elements one by one.
I'm a living monument, a necessity.
Just look up
I am
A tree.

Linda lu ruined her favourite wig
When she tripped on a little twig
It made her sad
And very mad
Why? Because she waved at a pig

The performer pulled his ham string;
Trying to make her sing
And lying by the bedside;
Terrycloth embroidered
And again the bells won’t ring

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
she has pots and pans to clean
from all her baking in between
doling out the china berries
"Don't eat them ,they aren't
really cherries".
She makes cookies out of sand
a little water and they're grand
she will scold you if you're late
she meets you at the garden gate
escorts you to your special place
she has icing on her face
from the cupcakes Mommy brings
to mix them in with all those things
the leaves and acorns on our tray
Spring Tea gets better every day
When you're almost,nearly four
you learn to serve,you learn to pour
just think how boring life would be
If not invited to SpringTea.

Peeling the Sun
squeezing the seeds
planting sunflowers
so you can taste the

tiny chiklets of laughter
on the air
fireflies flicker in her hair
she's kissing the roses
with color sublime
it's her job to finish
before blooming time
The princess of fairies
is waiting to play
just outside your window
come start a new day

rain comes down we're not so glad
spoils the picnic plans we had
but we see the beauty there
arching upward through the air
Ava says lets take a walk
through the raindrops,have a talk
of the beauty rainbows bring
so i find i love the rain.

I bought her some butterfly wings
all sparkly pink and ready to fly
but she hunkered down with her favorite book
with a hurricane twinkle in her pale blue eyes
I combed her golden hair to a shine
and pulled it all back in a bow
A few moments later she emerged from her room,
a head full of hair clips, to put on a show
I asked her to tell me a story
about all the animals she wants to meet
She started to sing and to dance and to swing
and she pulled me right out of my comfortable seat.
I smoothed back her hair before bed
and prayed that her good dreams would start
After "amen" she sleepy-eyed said:
"Mommy, I love you with all of my heart."
