Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Now let me verse come what may
Being a birthday doll you deserve
My all reverence that’s in reserve
When you celebrate with fervour
My joy multiplies and I do savour
Thou are an angel from Venus lo
A celestial entity enamouring so
In advance I composed this apt
Providing my all attention rapt
32
May you become the professor
Of a prestigious school super
Vt
What a way to vie for the post
Of an awesome AGM I do boast
Want to learn all skills from you
Bless me to reach an acme true

In while all my favourite Goddess
Socialized in a way ACE
Giving me company dining
Besides the ethics mining
Resembling Lord Minerva
Glowing with Sun-like aura
Now in yellow silk sari
You glitter my dear fairy
Pleasant dusk today has been
In thy presence umpteen
Perhaps this yellow hue
My most favourite true
Next time I want to see thee
In the same attire spree..!
Me taciturn at thy grace
For you are an angel ace..!!

Perhaps the best display pic
You have just released
Not less than a precious relic
With emphasis on heart exalted
Besides sending the food Lord's visual
You simply made me marvel
You're so divine actual
Innovative with ideas novel
Thus I beseech thee
To bless me to be success free..!!

Perennial grace belongs to my mother
Stunned to look at her charm shower
Evergreen pose has stories plentiful
Of kid, war and life blissful
Lotus gives its glorious presence
Rosy lips prove their essence
Eyes speak volumes of emotion
Attitude is full of passion
Sub-continental norms umpteen
Bong to this diva in teen
Towering beauty with traditional outlook
Compels to verse by hook or crook
May I get power to write
Words to extoll her charm bright..!!
Besides being a wife to soldier
She nurtured life skills in her daughter
How to overcome odds and upsets
Only to reach the colossal heights
Trained her doting doll cute
Thus being her first pedagogue astute
Not an easy task of
Being an army man’s better half
But she did with elan and finesse
Symbolic of Her Highness
Making her kid very successful
She did her job simply powerful
I yearn to be her son in next
Birth so that I have her love best..!!

How do I exit gracefully,
how do I end it all
Can I rewrite the terms again
before the final fall
The kids now counting every day
the moments still all mine
The days and weeks of years gone by
a measure now defined
How do I finally say goodbye
and start anew again
This world peeled back against itself
no more left to befriend
Regret a word best left behind
for others who have sinned
Stepping into eternity’s vault
—last check to cash within

The Upper Valley Community Band gathered in Norwich, VT to play,
For the annual Memorial Day Parade to commemorate the day.
Band members piled on the truck and wagon in anticipation,
Readying stands and music with enthusiastic exhilaration.
I crowded in with my flute and stand,
Eager to get the parade going with the community band.
We played patriotic songs as we rolled down the street.
Our little band seemed to make the Memorial Day Parade complete.
Winding our way through town, we were quite the sight,
As we performed national songs to the crowd’s delight.
Some people just listened, and some sang along.
For Memorial Day, this is where we all belonged.
We stopped at the cemetery, and the crowd was quiet,
As a band member played “Taps” to reverent silence.
Afterwards, I brought my flute up to my lips to play,
But the tears flooding my eyes got in the way.
We remember the fallen soldiers in this country on Memorial Day.
Think of the ones that paid the ultimate sacrifice as you pray.
We honor the men and women that have died for this great nation,
And take this day to remember their lives in celebration.

a 1945 bottle of Romanée-Conti, a
telephone booth in london, a rouge
sunflower, a covered bridge in green
river, vt, a basket of juicy ripe tomatoes,
a branch of cherries bearing down as
ornaments, apples bearing all shades
thereof, autumn barberries, tori’s hair
after clairol torrid torch crimson &
clinique’s sebastian potion no. 9 has
been applied, color of the sky at
night if a sailor is delighted, color of
the girl’s hood who was warned of the
BIG BAD WOLF’s sexual appetite, a
little wheelbarrow of the same pigment,
carrie’s body drenched in pig’s blood
at the prom, bricks, cardinals, ladybugs,
hester prynne’s letter A sewn, rome’s
god of war & the planet of that same
hue, the attractive choice of a 1000 logos,
m. fox’s matte red lips, bunnicula’s eyes,
chomsky’s necktie & the nose of many a
clown.

went to VT for the weekend
had a blast and pet the horses
had nothing to worry for a few
didn't think about work or school time
hoped to come home to write this rhyme
'cause I have something to share..
My fountain of youth
is frozen for for now
its a beautiful site
I really wish you could be there
I hope that tonight
my fountain is alright
the snow has built a sheet
I really wish you could be there - with me
man made
but made so well
so close
you can't tell
--Writer's note--
but forever now I will remember the time I went to my Grandpa's house, as a teenager, and
saw my fountain of youth was frozen with a slight dusting of snow on top. "I really wish
you could be there - with me"
