FASHIONISSTAR
She loved finishing salads green.
Some say she is awesome-ly keen.
Adding dressings with flair,
However though, she was never seen.
Yet in turn always creating a scene.

QUADRILLE -MUDDLE
Once upon a time we just put stuff into said mortar
then pounded it to gooey paste liquid or dry. Not so
today. Not so this modern chic way. No way!
Today as our chic dictates, we put stuff into mortar
and muddle it

OF PAIN LIVING QUESTIONS
Moon of the morning,
Misshapen, how is it
You watch our pain unflinching?
Are you birthing our pain?
Lingering there? Moon of the morning.
Fixed is your stare.
Is it dare? or are you warning
Us to come out seek the light?
For life, is indeed of living;
In joy, or of its retreat,
Still to shine, Moon of the morning.

UNDER MILLION STARS
Wine me a heady sweet muscat
Bright moon sentinels no chat
Music me with guitar strums
For night of repast surely is at

Dance you stars in somber sky
While we amazed to wonder fly
By whispers sweet and sensuous
Fill our tryst with arduous high

When sated love uncovered now
Wrap entwined its fantasy cow
Trinket poems in garlands strung
Like lamplight to moth staying vow

his first big competition

this wasn't the school concert hall
these were strangers called the audience

he could hear them cheering
just before the curtain rose
that's when he fainted
