warm blooded animals. Gene editing and male only lines
Researchers are utilizing genomic resources to
identify genes linked to host-seeking behavior
and sex determination.Scientists at facilities like
the New World Screwworm Program have
developed transgenic, male-only strains of the fly.
This prevents female flies from developing in the
lab and streamlines the release of sterile males.

Cuffing Season
Frightful scenes of cabin fever
during the lonely, cold winter
give reason for cuffing season
and placation for the freeze-in.
The physical shivers over
frightful scenes of cabin fever,
stuck indoors with no companion
for comfort or intervention.
The ominous clime messenger
signals the psyche to weather
frightful scenes of cabin fever
and seek a mutual partner.
And laugh away dreadful winter’s
frightful scenes of cabin fever
by sharing hearts of utmost zest
throughout the chilly love-in fest.

Note:
“Cuffing season” refers to a period of time when single people begin looking for short-term partnerships to pass the colder months of the year. Cuffing season usually begins in October and lasts until just after Valentine’s Day (February 14). The use of the word “cuff” references handcuffs but is slang in the same vein as "hooking up" or "getting hitched." (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

November holidays in our country
Serve as fellowships for the ministry
Great gatherings toward revival bliss
Never can joyous worshipful hearts miss.
Midst “All Saints’ Day”* is women’s virtue time
Where Ladies’ conference resounds faith chime
Learning from Scriptures midst trust-propped ventures
Thanking God Who blesses kindness’ gestures.
On the scheduled “All Souls’ Day”** engagement
The men enjoy their soulwinning moment
Sharing the Gospel of Christ, marked by love
Granting peace and grace from Father above.
"Bonifacio Day"*** celebrates valor
Midst unity sans selfishness-pallor
Thus, church sportsfest presents good teamwork's zest
Blest well with camaraderie that's best.
Then as November birthday greetings flow
Thanksgiving along cheers of praises glow
Around prayer partnerships tied by care
While brethren gather for blessings to share.

****Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is the ultimate in Irony,
And it is everything short of funny,
As people give up the chance of honest money,
To sour streets to the point where they are no longer sunny.
Risking friendships,
Working relationships,
Breaking up partnerships,
Truly believing they are sailing their own ships,
As words cherry picked from pirated ships,
Captained by those with doubtful fellowships,
Who refuse to divulge who owns the ships,
Are passed on to to a growing membership,
Who refuse to believe they are sailing in doomed ships.
Oh the Irony of it all,
As they have the gall,
To go to a mall,
And talk of freedom for all,
When once home into a chair they fall,
Unable to turn off the switch on the wall,
Connected to a screen that increases their zeal,
For what is unreal,
In a time when our backs are against the wall,
With covid in it for the long haul.
The rose has died
A slow and painful death!
Poison has melted it through.
The weeds c r e p t ever tighter
R o u n d
To c h o k e
This delicate rose.
Left shriveled
And scarred,
The leaves are crisp
And the petals have
F a l l e n...
Is there no way
This rose could have been protected?
Finally,
The weeds have been detected!
Observing this d e a t h
Has brought
Great sorrow,
Great pain,
Has shattered this fragile heart!
But now they can be happier
Can start anew,
Yes,
Now that they're apart...
And what is it
This fragile heart observes?
Yes.
There is new growth!
T w o roses b l o s s o m
Where o n e once b l o o m e d.
So nothing's really doomed!
Yes.
Those two hearts
Have made new starts.
Now h a p p i n e s s fills their way.
They face the l i g h t of future
Purged of the darkness of yesterday.
Starting anew is what they've done
In the wake of separation.
And now the partnerships they have
Are b e t t e r than they ever imagined.
And this once broken,
Fragile heart
Can mend
No longer saddened.
we are everywhere
within the straw of our relationships
to shine a sheen
that comes from polishing
each others coats
what we see are not
our individual blades
but feel the wind created
in the moments of our movements
see the field and forest sky
through each others eye
then within the shelter of our family
turn our wheel together
in a hive of striving.
It is who we are
inside this air.
Christmas prevails with blest spirit of hope
Heralding Messiah’s eternal gift
Imparting peace around compassion* scope.
Offering peace wrapped with forgiveness rope
To secure love and care upon faith’s lift
Christmas prevails with blest spirit of hope.
Glad tidings deafen crises though hearts grope
Holidays meant to bridge enmity-rift
Imparting peace around compassion scope.
Reaching gracious reconciliation slope
Partnerships transcend differences’ shift
Christmas prevails with blest spirit of hope
Yuletide offers kindness; yea, not nope
Good cheers linger as past conflicts flee swift
Imparting peace around compassion scope
Since God upholds each season’s divine cope
We can pray and seek for constant uplift
Christmas prevails amidst spirit of hope
Imparting peace around compassion scope.
Psalm 145:8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

Poverty creates
empathy for some.
To others it allows
restrictions to create
other conditions.
A strategy to humble
Masses and restrict
and give right to those
Who wish to be rebellious.
Who's mercies speaks of God.
That man's trust is spoken
In as situation.
Work available to encourage
Folk to work.
Might we labor and chore
So we might than enjoy the
Intimacies with those who
are legally able to marry.
Right and rightousness.
Right on, Right on!

Welcome to our “familyfest”
Gatherings with fun-filled zest…
Grand reunions, sweetly warm
Team buildings boost bonding charm.
Dining sprees are everywhere
Loved ones mingle here and there…
Yes, I praise God* for friendships
Kindling caring partnerships.
*Psalm 150:1 … Praise God … in the firmament of his power.
