sonnet X

they say it`s all the boomers and X`s fault-
into the wound they rub the salt.
we planted a seed and watched it bloom-
never expected any handouts upon a golden spoon.

we had to save real hard-
just to buy our very first car.
every day was lived hand to mouth-
to buy-and to furniture the house.

without technology we created our

THE VALUE OF X

I searched through and through just to find it.
Looked among varying variables, while holding my love's coefficients to multiply with.
I summed up my expressions, ready to find the term
that could be my constant, in the midst of the unknown.

I believed in her geometric prowess.
With the leap of faith, we passed the "sine's," "cosine's," and "tangent's"

Limericks X

Limericks X

This is a more serious limerick:

The Abandoned Child’s Complaint
by Michael R. Burch

I hoped you might have loved me,
but you pushed me out to sea
   like Moses, for some other
   strange Egyptian mother:
Isis, Nefertiti.

You cannot silence, what demands to be heard

Not only did they colonise land 
They colonised history too

Hiding the accomplishments of tge black race 

They say slavery was in the past
We need to move on 
But continously teach us about the holocaust 
And when a black

A Tale From The Loom - VI to X

She lays the carpet on the floor as though a regal dress;
Each loving stitch sewn by her hand displays no sign of stress;
The time has come to greet her fate though not a hint of fret;
She sits with folded legs her arms are laid across her chest.
She waits that witching hour now to speak the
