is the nightingale's song, ambiguous,
Give ear to her notes, they float on the breeze,

Sonnet 105, Feathers on the WaterDear shorebirds, my quills inspiration.
I love the way you're chased by the ripples

You're much...

Bliss vivified is-ness
As we be breathed, by grace divine sublime

Save love and light, the lower disappears
Joyous presence,...

MelancholyLong is silence when total darkness comes
And bewilderment extinguishes sight
The depth of confusion similarly numbs

Silence is broken from...

I-Dent-It-yI am, though I didn't ask to be,
A woman, a daughter, a sister, a mother.
Born into these roles, and know no other;
Even my name was given to me.
We are, though we didn't ask to be,

Vaisseau d'orLe vaisseau d'or
Ce fut un grand Vaisseau taillé dans l'or massif:
Ses mâts touchaient l'azur, sur des mers inconnues;
La Cyprine d'amour, cheveux épars, chairs nues
S'étalait à sa proue, au soleil excessif.
Mais il vint une nuit frapper...

LamentTo read old poems now scattered debris
Drifting through time on its slow-turning wheel
Written secrets emblaze spokes that turn free
To leave deeper tracks the mind can't conceal
The road is traveled with its selfish means
The journey is...

And whirling round an unforgiving sky
They call it Lashon Hara, though I'm not

The Italian Petrarchan Sonnet
Her charm is the purest gem ornament
The most valued flower in my meadow
whose fragrance blankets me, days in a row
with a somewhat soft satiny raiment
Her love enthralls my heart beyond measures

Why am I meWhy should the sun, like primrose, change its true color?
Why shouldn't each color have its own existence?
Why should the moon shrink holler for seasons smaller?
Why must Bluebells turn white on someone's insistence?

Stand Up To StutterWe have chosen a leader who stutters
Too many only saw his speaking flaw
Stumbling over stiff words as he utters
Blurring his momentous messages of awe
Accepting duty makes us who we are
So speak out only for what...

Fruitful to smells and holds for precious
Letting any motion mining marigolds
Of their flowers fairy blossoms
Blooming to stage of groans
