Old Songs replacing
Cycling along as usual,
Along the road
By the river bank
In the countryside.
Old songs of the birds.,
from the woods
at the river banks
Rarely heard today
And some not heard again.
Yet,new tunes heard,
As fresh melodies unfurl
From birds newly arrived.

Replacing Gloom
This thirsting land, parched by the sun
An autumn drought, that summer spun
Without the rain, no colors found
Fall foliage fizzled, green to brown
A cheated heart, now feels shortchanged
That natures brush, has been restrained
The trees are bare, north winds have blown
Like fleeting thoughts, how time has flown
Whilst winter waits, at fall's deathbed
To lift my heart, I look

Replacing the Old
When do you replace the old?
Of course, when something breaks
Or starts to show its age and causes
Subtle double-takes.
When things no longer seem in style
Or might be torn or frayed
Or if a dozen versions
Of your phone have since been made.
Perhaps you see your current couch
On retro TV shows,
Where actresses appear to wear
Some of your closet clothes.
There

Replacing the Cat
He ran over her cat and tried to be nice
He said, "I would be glad to pay the price!"
"Your cat I did hit"
"Can I replace it?"
She said, "Okay, but can you catch any mice?"

Destroying One Terror and Replacing It With Another
Not much to do today
caught up on some
deferred reading
went to the store to pick up
a few things
took a walk down 3rd Ave
to get some sun
Basima and Azhar
play in the okra field
chasing each other screaming
and laughing
jaddah watches
from her soft garden chair
over a steamy afternoon
in ancient Miranshah
Did some journal writing
heated

Replacing Sadness
REPLACING SADNESS
Sadness plays on the melodies of life
like broken strings on a violin.
We feel the discord and it shakes our being,
a trembling reaction to scratchy notes.
Try to remember the in between sounds
when sweet melodies lightened your heart
pleasant memories taken from a time gone by
and sealed within a deeper consciousness
to be be

There's No Replacing You
She thought that she was over you completely
but apparently her guess was so wrong,
For you she still had a lot of feelings
feelings that after all of those years still remained strong.
She married with the hopes of escaping your memory
and with the hopes that another man could take your place,
And now she finds herself still being
