Life:
Not a swift race,
Rough journey.
Perplexities and perils on the way:
Patience.

Dreamed:
A brave heart,
Endure hardness.
Under difficult circumstances:
Prominence.

Ordered a blue one and was cleaning up my yard piles
When I discovered the identical one, I had purchased last year
The perils of being a spendthrift!!...

Acting like schoolboys dreaming young dreams
Walking into walls
Running naked through the malls
Oblivious to perils that have become routine...

Six silly swilling simple swans swam in sight of Sweden town.

Foils and perils
Horrifying and terrible
Well documented after the fact
Misunderstood totally at the time

To be brought out and made fun 
During family gatherings...

I walked down a road called love,
why didn't they warn you my soul,
that the road is full of booby traps.
With all manner of untold perils..
you my soul would be captured
never to be ransomed again Eva..

Dog demands attention and food.
Loves to be petted.
Rolls around on the floor like a pig in slop.
Legs in the air.
My husband claps.
I clap.
Her one trick.
She is the only baby who still lives with us.
The perils of being in our sixties....

Treacherous strong winds
Wind untamed, wild and cruel,
Invisible strength.

Leaves swirl, dance, and spin,
Branches groaning under weight,
Nature’s treachery.

Path fraught with danger,
Wind howls, warns of deception,
Unseen perils lurk.

About the perils of having money,
Are those who haven’t any?
