...

I gifted my daughter on her birthday

WTC Final bowlers' ball

...

Have bowlers become spicier?

Hitches in batting riches

Chestnut witches strut

Gluts of stitches

And seams dreams

Humdrum Timb...

"Can still hear the deafening din of the Indian crowd chagrin.

Stunned shell shocked silence at mandarins' sins.

Yet somehow still so loud

Like thunder down...

No matter I got prescribed Glycopyrrolate 2 mg tablets taken four times a day

...No matter I got prescribed Glycopyrrolate 2 mg tablets taken four times a day...,

not one drop of sweat
(especially on hot humid and hazy days)

I Met You

...I 

don't 

remember

the first time

You

met

me

Bystander

...I am thankful for my mortality,
 
For if I were immortal, I would not cherish life.
 
I say this, yet my actions suggest otherwise.
 
6,211 days on this earth—
 
And I must have only seen a h...

MY WRITING

Yet, I Rise Like The Sun

 * Inspired by Maya Angelous "Still I Rise"

Your breath upsets my stomach 
I no lo...

Forevermore

speaking to the twilig...

   Ancient decompose steams surface

Identity

...This is a sad tale, 
of eight year old Jake,
who because of parental  pressure
Identified as a grass Snake.

Each and every school morning, 
during the five day week,

Just Saying

...
