loosely lingering, gossips --
with squawks and squabbles...

I don’t argue with my wife in my own defence,
I'm not used to verbal squabbles like a drunk.
I just proudly sitting on the wooden high fence,
Poking finger at her, sticking out my tongue!...

Nebula, with a frown and a glare,
Said, "Sibling squabbles? I simply don't care!"
When Gamora tripped, though,
She just yelled, "Watch below!"
Then pretended she hadn't been there.

walk by the burial ground
ubiquitous queues of lichen
awninged tombstones string out

engraving summarizes
bold subheading
who was adored by whom

I slide the dainty floret stipends
turn into gleams
scattered embers
riding the withdrawn wind

Bowling’s a game of
Fun with our friends… game’s begun…
We’ll have lots of fun…
As squabbles begin...
Blaming pins and boards for our 
Ridiculous scores.

I can’t wait each night
Until it’s done, relax some…
From three games bowing.

Shadows changing shapes flow 
Creating mysterious notes,very low 
And when to fade begins the light 
No one knows what hides the night. 

Rising phantoms, fidgety souls 
Darkness dances fast,takes its toll. 
Seagull squabbles, soaring high in the sky. 
As the moon mournfully plays hide'n seek too!...

After years of research they now find 
The cause of squabbles conjugal kind:
Culprit, the priest they hire—
He that feeds fuel to fire
Solemnizing marriage,
Villain of old vintage….
Today’s research: blind led by blind!

Awakening today to a newly retired life,
I'm more attuned to the world around me,
Grateful our freedoms mean little everyday strife,
Unlike hapless people across the sea.

Let's appreciate this weekend,
Others' sacrifices for this blessed land,
Not let political squabbles our unity rend,
Instead offer each other a helping hand.

they're having a happy chat
they would not dream to own
some scarecrow with a stone
beneath its frightening hat

scheming fancy and laughter
cheering and chanting aloud
they'd not venture to alter
one frail reassurance found

their stories all have flair
if thoughts are loud or bare
those children sleep lightly
they'll whisper thoughtfully
shun a straightforward stare
through squabbles skillfully...

The end

This year is coming to an end
Marking with a Christmas celebration in the end
I wish all squabbles
I had with any of you should end
Because it will be a new year
Marking a prime end.


The Shepherds in the night
Their flock graze
The stars in the sky gaze
At the angels delivering
The awaited news ablaze.
May you receive our Christ Jesus in peace
For He was born,lived,crucified, died
And ressurected and now rules in peace....

When I peep into past
And recall life's early morn
Present life stings and pains
Like sting of cactus thorn
For a while I get lost
In sweet memories of playful days
Little playmates and their funny ways
Tops and marbles and kites
Petty squabbles and fist-fights
Eyes wonderous,colored objects
Burlap bags and fragile slates
But like brilliant night of fullmoon
This flashback too recedes soon
And again the cycle of life
Same domestic chores same
Familiar wife...

Some families have heirlooms
Passed down often through the years
So their legacy will not be one
That somehow disappears.

Whether jewelry or furniture
Or curios or art,
Certain objects in a family
May play a vital part.

There might even be some squabbles,
For inheritance is rife
With the problems of possessions
Valued in a person’s life.

Though my heirlooms weren’t many
From the family reservoir,
I am proudly in possession
Of my grandma’s cookie jar.
