Soup of the day bubbling hot
Whose the owner of this pot
Bubble bubble if you must
We all know that it is just
Corn and pumpkin that's our lot

An Inhertitance
Large pumpkins heavy like alien suns lay sprawled in the patch of garden. The old farm house had been neglected for too many moons. This was the perfect time to regain her inheritance. She had roamed the country far and wide here is where she belonged.
Halloween was fast approaching. She opened the creaking door of the wooden barn. This place needs a coat of paint she mused. She checked her carving knives. All that she needed was hère.
Pushing her hands in her pocket she pulled out the last stick of gum, carefully unwrapped it and stuck it in her mouth and began to chew. You cannot pluck moonlight to bring in your pocket, she mused. Mmn this taste like apple.

Five Lines In A Copybook
On the first line i will write my name.
Teacher ask for date;
Day, month and year,
Followed by subject;
Maybe my address should be next.
Second line question:
What year is it?
To tell all will be to expose
My age, though i have no qualms there.
My house is in the country.
Third line will be poetry,
Written with a capital P,
About yellow hills,
Painting a canvas of small words;
No 52 on the road where i live.
The secrets of line four of this Chaguanas girl,
Will soon be exposed to
All in the class room,
Reading aloud to some snickers,
All in a day's English class.
The fifth and final line
Summons applause like
A limerick written to shake
The earth under a rose bush miles away
Here in San Juan; we students had planted

Confetti Sky - A Fold
Caught; a handful of magic in mittened hand,
Softly and gently some touched my cheek,
They came to me without wave of wand,
Snowflakes seen for very first time,
Out of pale blue sky, magic in mittened hand;
Called to witness this divine confetti,
I almost swoon as they land,
Light as a feather tired of sailing,
I agree, snowflakes are little poems grand,
Written on the wind for all to see,
Happy tourist i, magic in mittened hand.

And after understanding today's prompt
A Reply To 'Caged Bird by Maya Angelou'
Bird songs to a new dawn
Stir the sleeper to rise
Like clockwork the sky erupts
Whistles thrills and rhythm
Behind thin bars a pet bird yawns
His name unknow yet surmise
The life that would interrupt
Whistles thrills and rhythm

There in the underbrush,
Red like lips of a diva parting;
This plant called 'hot lips'.
The eco-guide tells us the legend:
A young man unprompted,
With his lips touch it;
The love of a woman he desires,
Surely truely will be his.
