Colours in nursery
Saplings in the nursery
And nursery rhymes

Pink satin ribbons and bow clips
Innocence braided
In plaits

The paper pared
To be paired with white
Origami tiles

Seven and three makes ten
You must learn
To count

Sweet raisin
Crazy crispy nuts
Bursting with energy
Come alive
Ten words  thoughts
Listening to Music

As women
We have special talents
When the time comes
When we realize
Heaven awaits
We give our talent
To another
Soul
If our talent is
Wisdom you see
It opens the door
For things to be
If our talent is love
Kindness opens a heart
And a mind
Revealing The Truth of
Our Father above
Lessons learned from my female elders that will always be part of me

If
If you were a book,
I'd read you again.

If you were a ride,
I'd wait in line.

If you were my dream,
I'd never awaken.

If you were a star,
I'd never look down.

If you were a flower,
I'd never look up.

If you were mine,
I don't know what I'd do;
But I'd do it.

Mother gave
me a blade

Mine was pink,
hers was purple

It was a useless sharp thing
that’s always in my drawer

One night,
I reached for the blade,
and it felt like my
mother’s embrace  

Every time I used it,
I was being released
from all my pains

Thank you, mother
I just realized while cutting my arms that I only use the blade she gave me years ago. I used it the first time I ever cut myself how ironic.

The spider was watching Cathy finish her cake.

Thank God, it thought, she hasn't seen me
green me hiding in the green grass, it was grinning.

Why are you so scared of me, Cathy?
do I look ugly, mean, harmful?
once I saw me in a dewdrop
on a blade of grass
the reflection was quite majestic
my eyes were dark as the deep sea
held only peace and no malice.

You too are so cute Cathy
a butterfly in the meadow
on the sky a sparkling rainbow
and how I would have loved
spin my web right there
in the thicket of your hair.

Cathy was singing.

It needed her one glance
to see the spider dance.
Thought to begin the year with a children's poem :)
