Premium Member ON OUR VACATION IN RIO
The nights near your endearing, deep cocoa skin, Silently, splendiferous, in this, sensitive , Spring we revel in. Samba music fingers, paint energetic dancers on the Spring walls, Lost in the beckoning and hypnotically, loves’s, passionate night call. You quiet my soul, with your tender, intoxicating, loving tenacity, And create sweet hours, revelling in our world to poetic capacity! ...

Premium Member A Place Called Rio Grande
Lyric Clouds drifts The river rolls Along the bank In beauty I roam A sunbeam drifts A lite morning mist Touching the hills As my spirit drifts Of all creation I accept a gift Only for me From nature I sip Looking around Emerald hills confess A flourishing love Within God's nest Flowers announce The coming of spring As Winter waves goodbye The birds begin to sing White clouds drift along the...

Premium Member Dancing Till Dawn
Ah, I remember those smashing days when I was dancing till dawn! Refusing to be a workforce pawn. It left no lines, but painted a smile on my face! I enjoyed the joy, the people-peppered life. Marvelously, frenzied, frenetic pace. Being wild,did agree with me. Life, for me, was so far, far more wondrous, Than a posh,expensive, one- time cruise at sea. Confetti-like, touching...

Premium Member Rio Grande
She shimmers in the sun, she's onyx in eventide, Rio Grande. She can be waters of a new horizon, or a river of Death. Swimming in desperation, mothers, fathers, wanting coveted freedom for their children to live in USA- a divided nation, for an education, a chance, to be enfranchised. Men, women, children have drowned, returned to God. But their dreams didn't perish in this waterway. They're living in another family landing on shore in uncertainty. Where does...

I Miss Rio De Janeiro
I miss my Rio and own behalf but it's not from any river, but rather from the unusual bay, How nostalgic I cry and laugh... From the mountains monuments, extraordinary division of the city, between frights and sweet moments, between beauty and necessity... Naturally blissful, blessed, by an exuberant geography and a cultivated architecture, In Rio, the carioca displays euphoria of a contagious wealthy life, sambando...

Premium Member Under the Bridge In Del Rio, Texas Usa
Under the bridge in Del Rio are stopped, stuck, stationed Thousands of migrant Haitians, not Ukrainians Frankly, if they were the latter, they wouldn’t be sanctioned Detained, abased, mistreated and deported like Haitians Like herds of cattle to detention centers in Mexico or in their Homeland It’s asinine, sad, odious, and repugnant to see the barbaric treatments And humiliations inflicted on...

Premium Member Watching Rio With a Third Grade Class
Third grade is going nuts with excitement. Their exuberant joy is beyond normal, urged on by a video cartoon. Star of the show is a sassy talking blue parrot. Six to eight of the louder eight-year-olds are yelling now. It is their lunch time. Guess who their supervisor is. I forgot how young they are. They bray like crazed donkeys over...
