WHO KNOWS
Can an itched be solved?
Scratch that question
Why little bird asleep on my doorstep
Rest still after daybreak whistlers
have done calling?
Perhaps just a tired dove,
Perhaps angels do sleep,
Perhaps just common happenstance.
Who knows where wings will roost little birds.

A GREEN MUG
A green mug, from which i sometimes drink:
soup, tea, coffee, reminds me that this precious gift,
we sometimes call life, so multifaceted,
it aches my bones to think there are some of us
who still want to waterdown flavours to only,
yet bittersweet dreams of strife, strained
to the gregs of a history's future days.

DOWN TOWN
'Times the Cathedral bells still ring to summon attention
Some prayer still remain trapped in its hall, on its pews,
In its arches above, hopefully rising ever so sloooowly

A spire finger pointing clouds on puffy azure days
Remaining cold silent and reticent in many overcasts
To gaze vagrancy asleep on Woodford Square benches

Downtown Port of Spain when the season of Poui trees
Silent in splendour rival the bells of the Cathedral
When the sunshine stings our conscience to remember

We do remember days of the soapbox verbous campaigner
Who later packed the childrens' futures into their schoolbags
Cramming their little heads with big dreams of statesmanship

PATTERNING A NEW DAY
To paint the patterns of morning
Bird songs canvas the art of daybreak
Wind daubs the colours of dawning
Lightening sky with tints of clouds and
Shrill whistles to patterns of morning
A host of feathered choruses sound
Flowers lift cherry faces of praising
Then why not you and i our hearts to
The gift of new day in our welcoming
Faith another station to the structure
Add to paint the patterns of morning

INTENSE
After a day of intense World Cup football, we here in T&T were served some intense stormy weather: complete with lightning and thunder. This morning its bright and sunny. And in my area, looks like it never rained at all last night. As for the flowers the wild ones, the planted ones, they all seem to be smiling a littler brighter this morning

who loves the rain most-
surely
the flowers do

ME
Laughter in gulps, tea in sips,
nature a coverlet, the finest counterpane,
introspection - guardian of silence,
armour of joy, window of smiles,
the adulting mind, the charming apron;
all these, cover a soul, who really is a child,
tender, frightened, tear-stained: me.

NEW WAVE
Watching the World Cup matches had been for me a TV screen view in the comfort of my home. This year i'm still viewing in the comfort of my home, BUT, at my computer screen.

Having thrown out my old TV which i had for more than ten years [because it suddenly went blank, never to wake up again]. New age, new wave, new experience. Enjoying the games non-the-less

a goal almost scored -
a hesitant rain shower
sounds on my roof
