My new quilting teacher’s a guy
Which proves why you cannot get by
With presuming you know
Just which person will show
If the course list does not specify.

He’s delightful and knows all his stuff
And his skills appear quite up to snuff.
In his class I can grow
Since this teacher’s a pro
And that knowledge is more than enough....

It wasn’t a green snake
That tried God’s enterprise to foil
Nor one of greenish make
That had man pushed into piteous toil.

 The sun-loving green wouldn’t anything spoil,
As often it’s thinking of how to funnily coil,
This presuming to playfully act out on your very soil
While your odd animosities you oil
And not once, not twice, unnecessarily boil....

Let the mind games begin
Turning facts into fallacies, urgh! What a mule
Good deeds? With evil grins
Ousting an honest man, and condemning his sins?
Bright minds unbecoming, using the press as a tool
Deceiving the masses, presuming we are fools
And yet you still go on, thinking you can win
Well then my friend,
Bring it on!
And let the mind games begin...

“Compulsion’s better than desire.”
   ~ Russian proverb

In her poem about him
He’s writing a poem about her
In which of course she’s writing about him
Writing about her
In details so vivid
They might exist only in each other
As poems
Unless it’s really only one poem
You’re reading on this very page
Presuming you exist
At least one poet does too
   ~ Thanks Always Returns...

I wish I had a Valentine
Neither Saint nor libertine
Nor one who ALWAYS toes the line
A girl like you would be just fine!

I may not set your heart aglow
Nor fill your palms with lots of dough
Nor promise you our love will grow
But I would love to be your beau!

Presuming you're not celibate
Would you like to celebrate
How Lady Luck has twisted fate
To make us both the perfect date?...

Glassed Waters
                    Heavy Cobalt
Bejeweled of morning star
                    Mirroring beauty

Tranquil Waters
	Azure eyed
Life of only this moment
	Presuming nothing

Allayed Waters
	Emerald warmth
Splashing of morning glory
	Animated Verve

Sweet Waters
	Cooling Jade
Scented deep in spring rain
	Swelling rebirth

Still Waters
	Sapphire subtle
Filling drops of gentle ardor
	Granting hope...
