Roses are red
Violets are blue
But the flowers in my life
Come in a different hue...

A worldly living
Simple life in the old city
Yellow and blue walls
Complete the centers facade
Open arms of public demand

gorgeous African violets
pink, periwinkle, and the deepest purple
yellow centers and dainty dark green veined flowers
we were in awe of Edna, for none of us could grow them...

Bittersweet

It comes in bloom when winds blow cold on hilltops, in valleys, flowers get bold,
With petals of orange, scarlet centers, Bittersweet comes when autumn enters.

Boiled eggs with the centers mashed;
To yolk-dust add salt,
Mustard, mayo, minced pickle
Fill whites with mix and
Top with olive crowns;
Spice-sprinkle…
Joy....

We sure got walloped in the overnight hours
Snow piled up, covering all the pretty flowers
Spring's delayed
Until April or May
Tried but I failed using my super powers...

Be it one who has will 
A power to fight
That sand mans kill
One’s own plight  

For freedom, it be taken
To this He be not blind
Take shells with centers and break in
Our peace one day we’ll find...

top layer centers
then the corners top and sides
second layer next

align side centers
and turn the cube upside down
bottom layer up

top centers again
then do top and side corners
and side centers last

stan sand...

Once glistening strands of shiny gold
Curling in connection 
Seamless waves of silky smooth
Now lines of white infected
Bristled dry madness 
Strings snapping at their centers
Oil applied to try to try!
And slow down this infection...

Sir Isaac Newton
The illustrious Briton
Saw farther than others when the famous apple fell
So, to our centers of gravity what force attracts we know well.

Pained memory     A hurt of kind
Inbedded deep       This tapeworm of time

Like the distant rings of Saturn
Now on outer edges    Once the centers core

Still lashed by length of  reach
Peices from the heart
Fed-upon, forevermore...

  There’s something to be said
     for the local practitioner

  Whose phone is not answered
     by an East Asian call center

  It’s nice knowing what you hear
     is what you get

  Unlike when Abhimanyu says
    ‘Hi. My name's Brett.’

Mind is composed of multiple centers						
                             catches many centers' voices at a time						
                                        concentrated centered Soul 						
                             just hears and enjoys being 'NIRVIKAR'....

Lifeless hiring centers
look upon papers and not people
Hated for not having a coin,
who you are is ignored. 
Your family hates you for being poor
rather than loving who you are.
The soul despised society does oppress.

People's eyes blinded by greed does bind them in endless slavery....

A spectacular display of lights and colors
Sparkles across the night sky, out-shining the stars
Crackling rain of shimmering lights cascading multicolored
Silver comets with sapphire blue star centers bursting
Bathing the landscape in breathtaking flashes of lights
To catch the spirit of celebration in the black night sky...

Flying high against gravity powers

Soaring higher with every inch tender

In the embrace of the air as the extender

In the deepness of the earth's centers


Flying high in the dark colors highs

The push and pull all working as ties

All together tethered as the winds sway

The freedom within, the feelings to display...

Sometimes I wish
I could be more
middle-of-the-road;
with my politics
with my music
with my writing--
but, then, the question arises,
which neighborhood?
And would that road
be, public or private?

For all centers
are not in the same direction;
none of them a constant--
not even the dead 
left to rest,
recycled into
God knows what?...

A heavy heart is filled with
grape juice
in which torn skins float
after feet
popped the centers 
and ripped vines
leaving gaps between the toes 
to suck at flesh
and spit out seeds
to be sowed in beds
and the blood of sores
trickles down pipes 
to the stomach 
which fills 
like clouds in
overcast
the color of 
Coelacanth
The Workers...

gorgeous funky artwork that honors nature
a bit of human body, lovely petals and a sassy grassy knoll
perky white flowers with hint of fluorescent green
makes my heart sing makes me want to dance
sunshine centers give me a memory of my first quilt
I smile as I remember pixie sprinkles and faerie grass
 I thank this artist, glad she is sharing her gift....

Ladybugs are beetles.
They eat aphids and mites, too.
They are red and spotted.
I love ladybugs, don't you?

Bonus activity: Inform children that ladybugs are a gardener's friend, as they devour 
the aphids and spider mites that destroy a gardener's plants. Some gardeners even 
purchase ladybugs from home and garden centers to sprinkle on their plants!...
