Love I Crave: A Fold
You are as smooth as satin, 
As clear as sea at Grand Anse Beach,
There are no hidden agendas in
Your purpose, or your claims,
To a touch as smooth as satin;
Caressing a welcoming cheek,
Sweet Julie mango juice, running
Down, from the eater's  mouth,
Satisfying a soul's longing:
Patient and kind, and near scriptural,
The love i crave, as smooth as satin.

 Blue Mood : A Fold Poem

When she left him, sadness reigned

Supreme, in every aspect of his being;

It's hard to say why, everytime it rained

He picked up his guitar, but never shed a tear;

Still, when she left him, sadness reigned;

Music can stir the soul in every way,

In every emotional state named,

Yet he choose the rain, to strum

Away those feelings, that to him pained

A heavy heart, heavier than a paint brush,

Truely when she left him, sadness reigned

Groundhog Day Haibun

Groundhog Day, February 2nd does not apply where i live. Here it's the dry season, and any groundhop sitings would have to be at a mas band camp, particularly a children's camp, where masquerade or as we trinis 🇹🇹 say mas costumes are in the making.

However where the weather transforms from winter to spring Groundhog day may be seen to many there as a marker for season change from winter to early spring or not.

If you don't believe that groundhogs can predict the weather, it can still be a fun time to enjoy some groundhog day jokes.:

What's the furriest side of a groundhog? The outside...

Why did the groundhog bring its watch to the bank? It wanted to save time...

When does a groundhog come before a woodchuck? In the dictionary...

Did you hear about the groundhog that drank invisible ink? It's still at the doctor waiting to be seen...

seasons and time zones -

the universality

 of really good jokes

Spooling Hope, a Fold poem
And where or when (things past)
Regurgurate, let them be pleasant
Memories of days gone fast,
And furious in a dance of joy;
Because where or when (things past)
Does not conform to forbidden
Or debarred, lingered in last
Kisses, or wasted lovers trysts,
Time wasted alas!
Should not thread a spool of 
Hope where or when (things past)

 Easy Peasy

NAME: she scribbles on the form,

Use this basket for completed forms,

Completed means you can leave the form,

She arose from her seat, form

In hand, near the standup fan,


Can i help you?  asked the clerk,

Remove your pen from the clipboard,

"Sure" she replied.

[ coconut sweetbread Trini style from Google]

 Delish 

She cut a slice of 

The warm sweetbread,

The butter melted quickly 

Into the aroma of the slice .


She bit happily into her treat,

Hmm, her nose actually quivered,


A hint of nutmeg,

Her favourite spice,  

What' s not to love

About this afternoon's snack?
