Depicting the leaning tower of Pisa,
He grinned:- I can do,
Build such houses too,
With my skill make the lean very easy....

The Death Star builder said it was flawless
But in hindsight he wasn’t too cautious

Right round my heart, can't see it at all.
Why are you scared? It's me with the bruises

squinting against the noon brightness.
gloved hands 
wiping the salty drops away.
denim moving
with the lankiness beneath.
strong lines
rising as the maul swings...

of glittering, gold-filled escapades 
and of sparkling star-dust dreams.
Dreams of gallant adventure and peril,
with a Don Quixote way of tilting windmills....

Who built a new house on a plain,
But his wife took fright
On their wedding night:
He’d forgotten the roof again.

Every woman with a garden

Every man a nest builder
Every woman an egg layer

or defender of borders
An olive branch crossing
or bunkered constraint
The history of man
seems to favor the latter
The future of man
—the first option contains

There is a reason
And I didn't mean to leave this mess for you to clean
But you are the only fixer in this world

Listen to poem:

vulnerable
seeking approval
wanting nothing more
than a glance a smile
a sign of affection
the teeniest confidence builder
to get them started
on the ladder
to their future

Merry blue dressed Bob, the builder,
Please return my reddish toy rooster,
I’ll give you my toy elephant,
A bubbly grey buoyant infant,
He is a long nosy mister.

When looking at a new fence,
What the intent was.
Did the builder want to keep something in
Or perhaps keep something out..
Maybe it was both.

C’mon Papa
The gauntlet tossed
The challenge…

Ten rounds
With a 2 year old

Speed vs stealth
Experience vs enthusiasm
Age vs agility

Castle builder vs the siege
Best two out of three cookies
Co-Co melon is not a fruit

C’mon Papa
Let’s go OUTSIDE…..

Personality off the chart
Supportive, knowledgeable, and kind
Her comments are a treasure to find
