Propelled by undeniable passion
That is trademark of my occupation
Whether in writing and or motherhood
I treat both with wholehearted* likelihood
Grateful to bask in writer’s sweet delight
While blest with God’s love for special child’s plight.
*Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.

AN: After he had finished his famous painting on 11th February 1898, Francis Barraud (Liverpool) thought to himself that maybe the Edison-Bell phonograph company would find his work useful. Sadly, the company turned down Barraud’s offer, skeptically stating Dogs don’t listen to phonographs. But soon enough, the painting would become a highly successful trademark of the RCA Victor, HMV, EMI, and its many branch companies, as a registered trademark on July 10th, 1900.
Nike sneakers are the best
They are better than the rest
Beautiful colors
Sexy water-colors
Dressed up with fly sneakers, you have zest
shielding autonomy from trade
seems to be the vogue as of late
leaving Europe hinders peace
tolls and prices increase
common sense marked as out of date

When Rolls and Royce designed a new car
Better than previous ones by far
Before they proceeded
A trademark was needed
So they settled on R with an R

This mark I place upon your heart
Never to trade and never to part
A lust of love I have found in you
Trading it for mine marking it two
None shall steal our trademarks away

What does the sign Subway convey?
What linkage to food does it play?
Word 'subway' hints fast-
sharp arrows broadcast-
the fact you'll get served right away!

The arrows on the Subway logo represent speed and movement.
You can get a personalized, healthy sub sandwich fast and it jives
well with an active lifestyle. The connection with actual subway
stuff came in 1980 when the founders decided to adopt a common
system by decorating the shops with maps of the New York City
subway system.

I can’t seem to discard
The sensation that comes upon me
Whenever your around
By no means
Could I have anticipated
That you would give me
Such an luminous perspective
On how it feels to be loved again
So hypersonic has our relationship
Matured and flourished
What an astonishment you are
Did not presume a like you
Still would exist in this age
You have subsided this rage
Within my soul
With jestures untold....
You are that pillar
Our sometimes silent or verbal
Cheerleader
You are the epitome of boundless love
A rare and tangible kind
Even while you scold
You possess the ability
To love us even when we feel
Undeserved of any kind of love
A smile to uplift
A hug to reassure
You nurture
Even when you need nurturing the most
That is who you are
We love you mom

Especially penned for Mother's day
as requested by the Men's Fellowship at our church
A near miss
Or fall of life
Inspires many to whisper-
In the home of disarray,
Where lives feed on amazement.
There's no one to sweep the litters
Just as debates hold
And attitudes glow,
The sirens break the mood.
A cloud of sigh gathers
With a temperate atmosphere,
Yet a hail to dodge ceaselessly drop.
In a moment, appetite for answers derail,
Questions take a steep down the throat
And jaws rest their might.
Men in boots
Expose many to rain
Just when need for shelter heighten-
As already the sword of defence
Has lower its guard
For the gifts
Of Harmattan
