they made soda outta alpine needles
and mixed it with vodka and gin
a slash of lemon and lime
and some carbonated water mixed in
they ooh'd and ah'd at the deliciousness
and marvel at the taste
a smile broke the ice
with a comment on the taste.
I wanted ya'll to love this thang
I really really did.
Sip and and delight in
the refreshing citrusy taste.

what a wonderful way to spend
an evening. Risotto alla Milanese
and Ossobuco with wine and sweet desserts
were the stars of the evening
but the night belonged to the alpine needles and the citrus drink.

plaiting my hair
tantamount to braiding three plastic slides
it is thick and unruly
with several minds of its own
determined to lash out in all directions
to prevent this catastrophe
when it gets long enough to ponytail
I put a rubber band around the ends
and use garden shears to lop off the length
sometimes breaking the shears
I have been eating more vegetables lately
my fingernails are thickening
they were never sturdy before, but they are now
Is it the potatoes? The carrots? The corn?
Could it be the lettuce?
Or is it my age?
Do faeries meet at night and polish them with magic hardening gel?
I may never know
The plot in anything interesting
Always gets thick and twisted.
It’s the reason for the season
And the season and the season
Year after year.
Thick and twisted after all
Keeps ‘em coming back for more.
And sooner than later
Sooner than you know it
You are so thick and twisted
That you just can’t extricate yourself
And a lifetime has past
Then a thousand
And a hundred thousand
And you are not only not better
But way worse than it began
But you don’t even know it
Because of all those lifetimes.
The moment after all being everything
Seize the day, and all that
While what has really happened
Is it has all gotten just thicker
And more twisted.

Do you know for a split second you stopped my heart?
So I'd feel the jolt when your touch made it restart
Your hands paint feelings that never truly depart
Those eyes— two gorgeous brown galleries of fine art
My words are thick oil; you've painted with them boldly from our start
Our duet's masterpiece; allowing us to enjoy every part.

Even if I die, my poems will blaze like fire,
Conquering the heart of the Earth entire.
Wise men who once refused to know my name
Will write thick books in my honor and fame.
When the all strength of lies are spent,
Truth seizes them by the collar, intent.
This treacherous world are in endless strife,
Does it ever pause, even for a blink of life?
Oh, my weeping Kazakh, you are in sorrow deep,
Oppression and cruelty their power keep.
Lives are taken, lives are given in the struggle above,
For wealth that offers no one true love!
Cruelty knows no shame or sense of honor,
Avoid it, if you have the strength to conquer.
Though the greedy find the wide world too small,
The earth's grave will have room for all.
May the generations have bright and shining faces,
Let them define their goals and find their places.
May their lives, not just their palaces, shine,
With winters, springs, summers, and autumns divine.

If you accept me as a friend
I will stand by you till the end
You can count on me
when you end up in a sea
of bubbles
and troubles.
I will make you glad
when you are sad.
I will stay by your side
even when you say goodbye.
We will be thick as thieves
and hide joint tricks up our sleeves.
We will be partners in crimes of passion
and introduce the latest fashion.
I swear
that I will be here and there
for you.
I will stick to you like glue
through thick and thin
and thin and thick.
