Words
scribbler
ink slinger

When my father passed
found a poetic voice
to create word symphonies 

"Love your words before you pen them."

there once was a crab from the pacific
whos lovemaking prowess was terrific
he had so many offspring
was the most amazing thing
for no other crab was more prolific

the other crabs were so jealous you know
they followed him wherever he would go
they watched his fancy love dance
snapping claws during romance
Boy oh boy did he sure put on a show

a first sip of miso soup
exotic and warm
forging a downward path
flowing like a life force
transporting me
as I close my eyes
to a timeless moment
sharing with countless kin
through the ages
young and old
some in the prime of life
some near their final breath
the sum of their days
deep in their heart
