May all your days be filled with bliss
May nothing ever go amiss
And every time you reminisce
May every memory feel
... like this

The Magic of Poetry

Sometimes
It's easier to do the magic
Than it is to convince your audience
That it's all just
... An illusion

The Philosopher ******

Woe to he who thinks
That thinking is to be
For being what he thought to be
Is less than what he ought to be
And all that his has got
Is what he thought

My Father

My father made me      Not be rude
                                    Bless my food
                                         Know what’s good

My father made me      Sit up straight
                                         Tow my weight
                                        Be a teammate

My father made me      Help my Mother
                                         Think of others
                                         Love my brothers

My father made me      Think like a man
                                         Do all I can
                                         Be what I am

My father … Made me

Judgement

And when we are Judged
The last question will be:

Were we possessed of ... or by
Our Humanity?

Brazilian Haiku 1

From dead branches fall
Dead leaves, prey to windy thieves
We cannot forestall

The Spider (Midwife to the Afterlife)

My web’s a lonely place to be
For no one likes to visit me

No one who comes here wants to stay
Yet neither will they go away

I really can’t imagine why
A friend (for life) will pass me by

Unless, of course, it’s indiscreet
That everyone I meet …
I eat

#fun #spider
