But you offered a penny for my thoughts, 
So I gave you my two cents 
And turned on a dime

Quarter moon strives,  
grows half.  
Half-moon yearns,

Premium Member Invaluable, Immeasurable

Time with you, a pleasure,
is a thing that I can't measure
with a centimeter or an inch,
a quarter teaspoon or a pinch.
It's a priceless treasure.

Let Go

Charting happiness 
Taking the real trip
Letting nothing 
Confuse or kick
Unchanging bliss
Noting the balance 
Seasons quarter 
Sheer soul desire

Dot

A dot-

Thousands of a drop,

A dot and a FULL stop similar in size,

If the FULL stop is a dot,

Where is eyes to look at half stop?

A quarter?

The Midnight Flight

Crossing on high
The winter sky 
A lone goose cries

The stars shine bright
And hung nearby 
A Quarter moon 

I wonder why
Where does it fly? 
No mate in sight

Eyes of the Seas

I have never seen
such beautiful eyes;
Eyes of clear;
can never tell lies;
Those big round eyes,
as big as a quarter,
sit down and tells
a story of water.

or one week wonder;
fame for a quarter of an hour...

vapour of the morning dew..

      at a neighborhood dive 
and the time is a quarter to three

The versatile jazzy rhythm went boom boom bah bing

We were dancing happily with a zany

It's a quarter to six 
and my mind starts to twitch
at the thought of commuting so far

Two grams of rice, which boiled in bucket water, 
It should be eaten only by  chopsticks.
But be a modest, eat this no more, than quarter!

Come be merry 
on the streets of the French quarter.
Come be merry,
plum liqueur and praline whiskey.
We’re the oldest brick and mortar,
drink and have an appetizer.
Come be merry.
