TO EVERY SEASON
Bird songs: a raucous time before sunrise
Advent: coloured candles in the wreath lit Sundays before Christmas
Pandemic world: everyone is coaxed into taking the vaccine
Anticipation does have its season.

CORONA COCOON
To dawn i bow in deep respect
The action of hope in effect
Again engines are rumbling
The wheels of industry turning
Traffic jams in the streets piling
Return to old can we accept
The new normal landed for sure
Oh it was so quiet before
When we hid in our homes or
Just stayed indoors because we wept
Family and friends swept away
A wave called corona keeps all at bay
Yet with vaccine and caution may
We creep out of cocoon adept

REMBERING PEACHES AND A VACATION
In the bigness of the Apple city
Walking down some street
Where fruit sellers are
I stop to purchase
Peaches
Seen them in the movies before
Read them in books before
And now here i am in NY city
Buying Peaches
Reaching indoors
I wash them
And bite into a yummy hidden yellowness
My first taste of
Peaches
I eat them every day
What's a vacation for
If not to eat
Peaches
When i return home where
Summer cyah done
There will be watermelons
Green variegated thick skins
And sweet crunchy red flesh
I will keep cool then, eating
Watermelon slices.

PAPER WINDMILLS
Amidst the lively music
The costumed revelers
Bright sunshine
And cumulus mounds of cloud
There walks about
The windmill seller
He lacks neither colour
Nor motion
Stuck into a pole
Are little whorls
To dazzle and mesmerize
The little ones onlooking
Look! paper windmills
I want one
I want one
I want one too.

A BEAUTIFUL DRAGONFLY
Who will question your diaphanous wing,
And wonder wither does your flights to fancy be.
Are there bird songs that you too wish to sing?
Will the dawn wait a lazy sun to be.
As day lights azure clearest of blue sky,
Mocks such clear patterns mirrored through thine,
A cathedral of stain glass windows sigh,
Weight of suffering impassioned to wine.
Oh stay! that I might ask questions of you,
For truly you distance by so quickly,
Zipping by from air anywhere perched to,
Allow passersby to watch lovingly.
You know beauty lies in those admiring eyes.
You know yourself for their contentment lies.

TEMPLE OF HEALING
We wander through hot desserts of sands gold,
No one dares turn dust into loaves of bread,
Picking up instead nuggets of goods sold;
Pfizer, Sinopharm, such stones that are read,
In wastelands seen of dread dungeons dark.
Repeat and be saved; the shamans heads shake,
For light overhead, awaits, broken spark.
Lips quiver in wisdom, walls roll and quake.
Oracle has spoken for our sake.

KASA - CHOICES
He sees her that nine tale fox
She sees him her wannabe protector
Him alone she desires
Will he be forever hers
She will use her cunning ways
To achieve her whatevers
He will think before he acts
Family before passion
His first kiss seals a contract
To a wife wise and loyal
Not for him the nine tail fox
With her guile and wayward airs
