We had heard about Emeraldite of course; who had not?
She lived in the lane with the Oak tree that had a lovely knot.
She is the most beautiful witch you will ever see, no rot!
This was told to me by every person whose opinion I never sought.
I finally crawled into the bushes and took my magnifiers out.
She was a beauty with her green eyes, there was no doubt.
But I had seen other beautiful witches, so I kept quiet.
Her hair was unnaturally ebony, did she dye it?
Come out! She coaxed me. Come over and be my friend.
My hiding had not been good, it was about to end.
I crept over to say “hello” and we shared some terrific spells.
Emeraldite is a wonderful comrade, who makes marvelous jells.
She has one for skin, and two or three for a sore knee too.
She sold me cosmetics, and hair care products that turned mine blue.
You have to go see her! I told my cousin Liberty Lou.
I wanted her to be taken advantage of too.

Agreeable Dawn for a
In though a blade
No other goal .... "Go just bounce around"
Every clump made me haggle with fate
Twinkle in my lips at the end of walk
My magnifiers fall on the bumblebee on Hawkweed
Which throw me to notion of stubborn ethnic group
In COVID war alike poison of weed unnoticed by bee
Like a halfwit mad ,took the pretty from plant
Felt a pricky near my collar
Just gave a Pat and back to force
Clock had done it's work many times
Just a blink to me
Felt something hitchy
Heard the
Every lively throb broke a hailstrome in my skull
Felt hacksaw in my abdomen
Index of my heart gone blanch
Weaping from my throat surrounded the virus
No more blaze just pain
My magnifiers turned to the quarantine bed
Striked a mirth in my lips
Bled raised on my neck
Blaze in eyes ,no more
Just a halter of bumble bee
My defense mechanism showed over perfection
Inoculation of fright flight dominator
CAN MAKE ME ALRIGHT

A darling miniature dragon is living on my big toe.
He has built a community, and it has a glow.
He’s readying a car port and a landing pad now.
I’m fascinated in spite of my giant ouch-y ow!
I can almost see the skyscraper he’s erected.
He nailed it in hard, as I had kind of expected.
Even with my magnifiers I can barely see
That little purple dragon as he waves cheerily to me.
Do you have a name? I yell as I am much higher.
OUCH! He talks in a foreign tongue with a bunch of fire.
I cannot bathe now, for it would not be polite I guess.
Cute little dragon has a wife who has come to share his nest.

Cute little snails crept around
to put the baggage down
Earth worms penance finished
kissed the earth brown
Dark green frog croaked aloud
to embrace its fellow mate
Glossy mushrooms amidst the meadows
naughty Frog's umbrella
Rain drops adorned the grasses
pearls on the strings
reflected the high rise building
natural magnifiers
Indian paradise fly catcher
our regular rainy saviour
flew around our home
to catch dangerous flies
Arc angel rainbow appeared
Savvied the value of sun shine
still more things to relish
the righteous rainy season

Light
shining into the night
An aura of wonderful colour
Strange display of forms and people
in kaleidoscopic multiplicity. Daylight
bears a challenge of foggy creatures faceless
imminent, appearances with jolly voices and
greetings. Your messages on my computer are
a perpetual source of fun and frustration:
until enlarged they are little ants and
fleas hopping around to tease.
Thank you Bill Gates for
magnifiers :)

'Twas like imagery or perhaps deja'vu
air quotations or a hallucination,
naught tangible to the naked eye
but an echoing of whirlwinds,
mere beginning of an expansion
tucked aside noncommittal whispers
reverberating discorporate shadows
on dividers of processing graphics,
rough drafts' emphatic intimation
of intrusively summoned reckonings
referencing old featured impressions,
mid-escape concentrated faculties'
unfocused low-density frequencies,
betwixt susceptibility’s magnifiers
orbiting bout night-crawlers' psyche,
whilst darkly territorial distractions
evolve beyond unforeseen influences,
farthermost assertion's revisionary
assemblages divulging conceals,
structured within framework
unrelentingly penetrative,
drawn-out, long agone
an unreceptive peccadillo

He is about five feet three inches high,
his head is half-bald and remaining hairs are gray,
though original color of the hairs was dark brown.
He wares mustache that both ends are pointed
and rolled up like Kaiser Wilhelm; however,
his mustache is somewhat thinner than that of Kaiser’s.
He has brown eyes and sharply nose.
Although he is a short, his body structure is upper range of
medium built. He is not wearing glasses in his daily routine;
nevertheless, he wears glasses while he is working
at bench. In addition to the glasses he even wears
a pair of goggle type magnifiers on his forehead.
When he talks, he slightly shakes his head.
And if he is in exiting mood, he even shakes more.
He was a forsaken child brought up in a slum.
He was an abandoned child never knew the parents’ love.
Nonetheless, his most unique characteristic that makes him different from others is that he loves to play a clown, because his heart is filled with tears that to be hidden behind thickly-painted makeup; because his heart is full of concealed grudges that to be glossed over with the funny gesture.
