The Forgotten Gift

I lived life thinking how life should be lived And thus was never alive. Such folly did I score. An old man I lie in bed, weary of what lies ahead, What life gave I did not take; soon I’ll be no more. On my deathbed I lie, and wonder why I did not live [ READ MORE ]

Damnable Students

Alas! Most students are about To mostly knock out From their teachers all sense, With their hyperactive age, Described page after page, As adolescence.

Forever Retreat

In his hard brown shell Did the turtle dwell. With his stout legs and tail poking out from under, He walked straight and proud and did not wonder. Down the path of Life he did walk, And to those he met he did not talk, He walked down the winding path, his mind asunder, But [ READ MORE ]

Reflection on Womanhood

Happily unmarried years ago- I’m always for a party, here or there, But what should I wear? Oh, what should I wear? I look in my mirror- young and strong, Yet what I wear feels so very wrong.

Lover’s Lament

The young man walking down the road, Met a young woman beautiful as can be With fool’s hope he went to her and asked: “My dear lady, will you marry me?” Expecting nothing less than a slap He was so surprised to hear, From her own sweet lips did the words come out “Of course [ READ MORE ]

Master

Earth, Sitting under the azure sky, Watching the day grow old, As up came the Sun and then went by, Watched, as the night grew bold. She basks in the day, Cools in the night, Watching calmly away As Sun and Moon fight. Rule of the Sun Begat reign of the Moon, For the day [ READ MORE ]
