Orbs of Multiplication
Orbs of Multiplication
Villanelle
They spin in stillness, glowing without sound
A rhythm bred from ancient breath and light
The orbs emerge where quiet truths are found
From void to voice, their pulses wheel around
Invisible, yet birthing second sight
They spin in stillness, glowing without sound
No measure binds the math that keeps them bound
They bloom between what’s wrong and what feels

Bless Mess
Home is the place to be,
Except for mess, you see,
Woke up, my hair's a mess,
Fat hips a mess, I confess,
Craft den's a mess,
Home office mess bless,
Clutter made this clutter,
Simple swearing I do utter,
Went to sit in the sun,
Weeds making their own fun,
Mess multiplication,
Seed proliferation,
My brain's stinking thinking,
Into mess I've been sinking,
I sat down to laugh,
God

LOVE ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION
Sometimes I think if we had paid better attention to basic math
it would be easier to follow our hearts….
and the Earth would be one whole…
instead of broken into parts.
I imagine in elementary school we could not contemplate
the importance of basic math in terms of love and hate.
Even now I have to wonder: as to

Fire of Destiny
We serve a great God,
Who is on our side,
Be the flag, others can watch,
Be the banner, others can follow,
God is giving us a new posture,
New wings to fly over challenges,
To hit the marks that we missed,
During the last season,
Setting up to a new level of greatness,
Bringing back revelation,
That has never been heard,
Releasing an eye for

Grace and Multiplication
We are all navigating through life!
We are all growing in different ways!
Since, money is the root of all evil.
Use money to bless the needy!
Be knitted with family and friends
When one is weak, the other is strong
When both are weak, He is stronger!
Remember God is our primary source!
He is our solution and righteous judge!
He knows our

Please Memorize Your Multiplication Table
No more spelling tests the principal said.
The teachers were confused. Why?
It is not fun. We only do things that entertain them now.
That was five years ago.
The eight year olds cannot spell.
During standardized tests they want us to tell them the words.
We are not allowed to do it.
They get angry.
They are not used to hearing no.
We

Multiplication of a Powerful Zero
Dampen talk in a hesitant time
Uncertainties of a procrastinating hour
Where life goes on … and on...and on
With some obvious happenings of the inevitable
Blemish talk only highlights the stigma of a stagnation
Where neither you nor I are able to be someone
Other than only living in a life of necessity
Those pernicious happenings go on with
the description

Multiplication
Trying to fall asleep in Spring,
I found the trick of counting sheep,
Grazing in flocks and wandering,
Could not succeed in bringing sleep,
Following one another too,
Bleating meanwhile, and eyeing me,
They sauntered by, as all sheep do:
I watched them, counting patiently.
In Spring’s lush pastures so sublime,
It seemed that every flock would grow,
Filling the fields at lambing time,
In numbers

Why Should I Know Multiplication
When will I need
Multiplication?
Why waste my day on it?
When will I need
This long division?
Why are we doing this?
I do not need
Spelling or writing
That’s your job, isn’t it?

Children Do Not Want To Memorize
A fit is thrown at the mere suggestion that they have to memorize something.
Memorization is boring.
They refuse.
What is the point?
We have the Internet.
We have I-pads.
We have I-phones.
We do not have spelling lists any more.
Spelling tests are passé’. Too boring. Too much memorization.
What is the point?
Math facts? Why should we learn them? They

Multiplication
A dish issue is whether the verb forms a series of events containing two or three ingredients. Ingredients are often officially interesting when placed. And material such as Velcro is very very useful when balancing on a widespread bed of crockery. Well cook then. Worldy worldwide without waste. And a hare is never a problem

Multiplication Table
When Noah gathered creatures pair by pair
In a barge ready to face the rough storm
Giraffe and wife joined a sail to nowhere;
As waters growled high, till moon grew deformed
With nothing to frolic with, amidst the flood
Giraffes delighted in hush of ashen dark
Mating frequently on arc's trodden halls.
New animals born, how can they embark
And others followed
