Ode To Hilda Doolittle
Our men, frail from fruit, walk among hyacinth shadows
They crawl across marblewalk courtyards-
Mist in quivering sunlight...

Premium Member Christmas Card Display
We had not received Christmas cards,
We children in our home courtyards; 
Displayed cards of grandpa,
Age-old cards of grandma;
Friends said: it's a house of regards...!

Premium Member Courtyards In Greece
I was pretty sure I had seen the prettiest courtyard
Until I travelled to Greece and saw sixty of them
Each one unique, none of them comparable to another

Premium Member They speak of cleanliness
Strands of hairs on floors galore,

Papers and rags strewn over the tables,

Clothes on the sofa seats,hung on the chairs,

Cobwebs and spiders on the ceilings and walls,

Moldy food and vegetables in the kitchen,

Odors emanating from the washroom,

Cars dusty,air inside impure,

Courtyards and surroundings unkempt for days,

Garbage from the house dumped at the roadside,

Thrown on the drains, rills and rivers,

Perfumes and beauty products everywhere...
