Premium Member Three Candles

Happy Birthday to my friend!
One third of the three,
in life’s twisted blend.
Unlikely in all ways,
but twined together till the end.

Witch On the Horizon

Cut out of black paper
Japanese
Thrown before a sky

Of night milk
Janitress of a
Lower house

One toothed,
Point hatted,
Flying in front of a 

Victorian curtain
Two thirds storm,
One third dark.

Premium Member Hug For America

Polar vortex,a large pocket of very cold air,
One-third of US of A has been coated.
Chilling people,freezing land.
May everyone keep safe and warm.
Pull each other hands,lit the fire of love.
Hope global hugs warmth your hearts.

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE DEI

Today I’m grateful for Diversity, equity and inclusion…
and how in the whole pie of life each plays an important one-third..

Diversity is having a seat at the table
Equity is having a voice…
Inclusion is having that voice be heard.

What Do You Say

Not an elders place for the old to stay
It’s that pearl’s parliament of now days

For one third of deaf,limb and dumb all pay
For their tones,bellies and long tongues this may 

No one  knows what they come to say
Any one knows they don’t listen to what we say

For schools many foundations they lay
At schools even for rain they didn’t stay!


Premium Member Journey's End

Journey's End

   Life expectancy,
but a breath of existence
from eternity.
           ***

   Life expectancy,
but a thousand-mile journey
to eternity.
            ***

Note:
   A 'li' is known as a Chinese mile and is approximately one third of an English mile or 500 kilometers. A thousand li, metaphorically, refers to a long journey.

Live A Simple Life

Life is simple to live
It's your lifestyle that complicate
You can live in simple house
Buy things that's local 
Eat simple nutritious food
Wear simple dress that suit your taste
Use bike for short distance
Ride a public vehicle for economy
Save one third of your salary
For emergency life's purposes
Save energy for next day consumption
Think positively and don't overthink
Do things one at a time
Live a prayerful life.

It Won'T Remain

Take away the things I want
You're just another dream to haunt
Give to me the things I need
I'm just another mouth to feed
Didn't we expect some blood to bleed
Eight billion swords released from sheaths 
Take your head down from the sky they say
And all of this can go away
But somewhere, they do pray for rain
One third of angels won't remain
The fear, the war, the sickness and the pain
None of these things could ever remain

Premium Member Tie-Dye In July

Dampen a white T-Shirt till wet.
Twist into a pinwheel, then get
The shape to stay round
And pat until sound.
Bind the edge with tape till it's set.

Split the circle space into three-
Red, white, and blue for all to see!
Dye one-third dark blue;
Bright red, one-third too.
The rest stays pure white to agree.

Unfolding it shows the design!
You're ready to celebrate, fine!
July Fourth is live!
Receive a high-five
As your shirt and honor combine!

Opening the Gyms

The governor announced that gyms
Will open in a week
So all the fitness freaks can start
Improving their physique.

At just one-third capacity,
Facilities will let
Much fewer members enter
To absorb each other’s sweat.

Despite the mandatory masks,
(Assuming all comply)
There will not be a surface
That remains germ-free and dry.

Yet hordes will flock to exercise
And take it all in stride,
While others, me among them,
Will continue walks outside.
