The first signs of spring—
the lily of the valley
bordering the garden.
The faint sounds of baby birds:
tiniest glimmers
of the beauty that surrounds us
daily.
The green foliage,
a tapestry of wonders.
Feel the soft mound beneath your feet.
A butterfly—
a sign of life—
flutters away.
In the distance, the sound of a baby’s cries—
a miracle
surrounded with hope.
The clouds, so light and fluffy,
a different dimension—
eyes peering down on us.
Tiniest glimmers.

The tiniest Christmas faerie was too small to do much.
She did not fit in most uniforms, and she did not like her hutch.
She climbed out and pranced around and was chased by a mouse.
I am so upset she told her mother; I don’t even like this crazy house.
The mouse slithered into a crawl space, so she was safe now.
Her mother said, “I think this house is okay, although not a wow.”
I don’t fit in, said the tiniest Christmas faerie. Where can I be?
Her mother suggested she climb to the top of the Christmas tree.

The tiniest things I can ever recall
Are, oh, so unbelievably super small,
I am told they reside in my eyebrow
Giving me creepy-crawlies anyhow.
To think they live upon my face
Such a parasite is a total disgrace,
So inconceivable this could be true
There’s absolutely nothing I can do.
I wash my face twenty times a day
Hoping to wash those suckers away
Shaving my brows an option, you see,
But then folks would make fun of me.
So, I suppose I must learn to co-exist
Thankful nothing’s living on my wrist!

Villanelle : What space occupies the tiniest place
What space occupies the tiniest place
Today the Higgs Boson’s all the rage
All discoveries via the inward gaze
Yesterday the neutrino led the race
Even as the atom ancestors did engage
What space occupies the tiniest place
Hydrogen the atom bomb did replace
Much as MOAB the grenade savage
All discoveries via the inward gaze
The secret of the Golden Flower’s grace
In the heart of hearts make particles rage
What space occupies the tiniest place
He that seeketh not becomes common place
All particles whirl and churn the mirage
All discoveries via the inward gaze
Today’s seeming truth : nothing stays in place
Yet tomorrow all change may mismanage
What space occupies the tiniest place
All discoveries via the inward gaze

Prosti-tots, Oh hail!
To the ubberous amounts of stage make -up,
The three year old thong, not made in size four,
Hairspray to threaten the ozone for getting in its way,
Shouting parents, too humble to whisper,
Made-up sex toys, batteries not included: they run off natural sugar instead,
Mistic tans: 30 $
Hair-pieces:50$
Swim-wear:250$
False teeth:500$
Lessons in Poise and dance: 600$
Travel expenses: 1,000$
Living your overaged dreams through prepubescent minors:priceless
There are some dreams money can't buy; for everything else there's child pagents
