I have crashed! Oh, God, alas!
A nosedive straight into the dirt-
To the center of the Earth,
But the High was worth the hurt...
Though my Hopes were deeply dashed,
Though my Dreams unduly smashed,
My Life before my eyes has flashed-
No time to change, to quell- avert!
(And no more strength left to exert)...

The Gullah people drift with the tide,
existing by the Charleston seaside.
Their lives more often unduly harsh,
yielding and melding with the marsh.
Africans of Dominican voice impressed.
Tales of Bruh rabbit are among the best.
From all over the world they came
Slaves, but, of rice field planting fame.
                          ~...

One that won’t my sandals sag
Nor my garments shrinks:
My journeys unduly drag
Nor on me impress that I ‘d soon sink!
A path that shouldn’t me repaint
As though an Art Work now faint …
And commonsense warns me, also you;
One that is like a gospel true
Not a highway but still gets through

All these, please mark with chalk
About the path to walk....

Planet with blue azure as the color
Orbits are elliptic and distant from the solar
Satellite here larger than the dwarfs is Triton moon
Equinox occurs after four score years soon
Inkling of diamond rain is seen which is quite quaint
Dominated with ice as sun rays are unduly faint
Over here is the great dark spot which is too odd
Neptune is the planet named after the Sea God...

Unaware the battle has been won,
      His every ounce of blood now gone
A fallen soldier lay upon the battlefield
      His might and power not to yield
Faithful, genuine, simple and pure;
      His honor required that he endure.
For those he fought, he did not hate
      His now to endures that tempted fate
Must he be deemed unduly and rebuked.
        His patriotism, honor and death resolute...

Panic is a longing to live long,
Yet, a betraying of one not being strong;
All the way leading to a taunting song
From persons who panic judge a wrong;
Who when others duly panic
Unduly continue to picnic,
Honestly taking a Sinking Titanic
For a thing to its peril mimic.

But is one to panic or gasp
Or for that matter fearful hands clasp,
When one has seen not a snake
Nor the as rubbery but fake:
When rather it is some irksome wasp,
Whose clear differences we grasp?...

When Alfred was witty 

Alfred, the pianist who insist he is not my father
Told me he could walk on water, 
to prove it we went to where the water is shallow
he sank slowly, legs, torso and his head
I was not unduly worried, 
at the bottom, he walked back to shore
and I gave him back his alpaca and French Beret, but I said nothing
he hadn`t stepped on water only walked on it.
He borrowed my shoes to get home I; his son had to walk barefoot
and he never returned my shoes...
