A long walk ahead, with thoughts to unwind,
I set out to brighten my day,
My steps were light, my heart was kind,
As I strolled along my way.
I passed some dandelions, swaying in the breeze,
Their yellow heads were so bright,
And as I walked, I felt at ease,
With nature's calming light.
The path I took was winding,
With twists and turns to spare,
But as I walked, I found myself finding,
New sights that I could share.
I saw a family of ducks,
Swimming in a nearby pond,
Their quacks and splashes brought good luck,
And made my heart respond.
Then I saw a tree, with branches wide,
Providing shade for all below,
And as I rested by its side,
I felt my worries go.
The three-cornered walk I took that day,
Was more than just a stroll,
It helped me find a peaceful way,
And heal my daily sway.

A festive Jewish holiday*
We celebrate today,
When children dress in costumes
And much merriment holds sway.
An evil man named Haman
Tried to have the Jews all killed.
The king, whose wife was Jewish,
Saw that deed was unfulfilled.
Since Haman wore a certain hat
Triangular in shape,
We eat three-cornered cakes to honor
Our too-close escape.
Called hamantaschen, they’re delish
And filled with fruit or “mun”
(Which translates into poppy seeds,
And that’s my favorite one).
The Purim story’s read each year
And Haman’s name is booed,
But afterwards we nosh,
With lots of hamantaschen chewed.
Commemorating history
With something we can taste
Takes a little of the bitter
And with sweetness it’s replaced.

THREE CORNERED HAT (double Ethereee)
This
Being
A human
All the contrast?
From Saint to Devil?
I fight it every day
Think about it in my sleep
Awake to such good intentions
Before noon I have changed my colors
I must go along with the middle ground
Wavering wavering between Love and________
I dare not think the alternative
Yet in consciousness it does rest
Listen to the Still Small Voice
Always urging guiding
“LOVE – the only TRUTH”
Seek inner peace”
OH! BE STILL!
LIVE NOW!
LIFE!

Fool of jesters
jester of fools
performs for fat
spindly legged kings
who slap their sides
in glee of his merriment
as around the court
he dances in his
three cornered hat
and turned up shoes
which jingle with
tiny bells as
with gaiety he
plays his mandolin
and sings of
the indiscretions
of lords and ladies..
