Creativity

God created Earth in six days and rested.
From when he resumed, He never rested.
There's no end to creativity; nor creation!

A blank

        little hands

I’m trying a new ‘see food’ diet
I’d recommend that you all try it
Any food will do
Nothing’s bad for you ...
It's no wonder my trousers don’t fit!

I miss your sweet embrace,
My ally 
I miss your sweet embrace,
I can but cry

For even when my eyes can’t see
I am to be blamed
Faithfully ashamed
You’re right in front of me

After the 
intensity 
of our
relationship - 
the heady feeling 
of being 
wanted -
the silence 
kills me.
I struggle 
to stay sane,
to understand why 
she never calls me now.
No,
she won't phone again...

I, from the gray Wolf I'm diverged,
basal, ancestral we are
Millenniums we have witnessed,
historically we're culled 
Yet, we were here before humans,
are we next to disappear

Golden Bubble

The handicapped and orally challenged
Must not be disdained or estranged
Although they cannot reverse the mute
At least, they can blow aloud the flute!

Disability is not inability, so they say. 
God listens more when the mute pray!

Yes, her hair was looking great;
she'd spent so long on getting 
ready for this longed for day - 
the seaside with her boyfriend.
She stepped outside the beach hut,
her love knelt, a ring held out -
and a flock of seagulls pooped!

What can I say about my brother
He is the other son of my mother
We don't whistle the same tune or sing the same song
And we don't always get along
But I could not be more happy for him today
As this is his 18th birthday
He is a man I greatly admire
And to be like him I do aspire...

There were 36 hairpin bends down the hill
Our gentle bus driver had 50 lives on his bill
18th curve had a buzzing biker zoom with skill
Sensible bus driver didn’t budge an inch still
We all cheered like teen girls in skirts with twirl
The biker backed off 3 curves down like worm pill
