we eat red meat, fish, eggs
and plants for food
we cut down trees to build our homes

But, temptation over powered.
Not listening to my mind,
sin took its course again.
Father, "FORGIVE me,
for this is the
twenty-first
time with
her."

A-n ode to love
N-ever ever brings anger;
N-or it carries hatred
A-nd animosity anywhere.

U-sing the whole season.
Y-ears just roll on by, neath the heaven above;
A-n acrostic has made an ode to love....

Stink Bomb
Wherever you may be
Let the wind go free
For the keeping of it in
Was the death of me!
A stink bomb deadly slow
Released on the twenty-first floor
Shifty eyes looking about
Open door to let it out!
