A new year has come!
No carryovers! Let us remain in perfect health and celebrate.
A new year with new goals,
A new year where we will try our best to achieve all our goals,
A new year were our goals shall be accomplished,
A new year filled with showers of blessings from God,

A new year , another year added to our age
With new things everyday
A new year, is always New
Wishing
You a Happy New Year!

Perchance it loves me too?


<>
Vicki and patty m.
<>

no one loves the same,
the moon, or me,
or you two too,
exactly exact,
or, especially
each other

every stream of light refracts differentiation,
rays scattered and triggering you-know-what

it is never by
perchance,
always by
first glance

rays that are moon ordained,
plotting paths on the river and bay
that check my souls consternation
asking me nightly,
come walk on water,
come to visit me,
when I am a verdant blue

once upon a time,
the moon would come to me
by early afternoon, so had a
doubleheader of celestial admirable

moon,
for its plotting morning carryovers
going all the way occasionally
to afternoon sunlight,
as if it is like love
that passes
through a checkpoint,
saying, see!
a safe transition
to the east/west passageway
of your humanity heavenly inclusive

I’ve loved creatures,
human and even better than them,
feminine and masculine,
never made any difference,
for it was never a competition

my whole soul went wet,
Olson,
from then till now,
when the love word escaped
my lips, troublemakers, happily,
the misery it provided was ecstasy,
made the poem solutions even better

but by now, august August,
woe within me, strong the sadness,
the end of summer chilling forces,
makes sure the dividing line
is redrawn and love and moonlight,
once inseparable,
are again fully distinct and

perchance,
come September
hopefully I’l forget and I won’t remember
all the rest,
just the best of the best of
you two poets scheming,
how to enlighten the world
with blue moon words

Mr. Lecturer once said
Just one night, you won't fail
You wearing Rasta hair,
This question is for you
Have you bought my handout?
It is not compulsory, but...
Which textbook am I teaching you from?

By all means avoid carryovers
It is worse than heartbreak
Know what works for you
Like a Lion, seperate yourself
But "A" is for the ancestors
"B" is for the serious students
"C" is for everyone, "Awon saddists"

Rome wasn't built in a day
You musn't graduate in four
You can spend six for four
Just take your time
Government will still pay me
Stop and ponder my friend
Is education still the key to success?

Don't be discouraged
I know a few good ones
Not all the prophets in Egypt
Bowed to the Eyptian god, Baal
Arm yourself with skill based education
And the world will look for you
Don't say I didn't tell you
"A journey of inquiry and discovery, a path unwound
Through halls of learning, where minds are found
From the of birth although one’s life
A quest for knowledge, where wisdom beams

Late night study sessions, fueled by carryovers fright
Early morning lectures, where insights take flight
Seminar rooms abuzz, with ideas in the air
A melting *** of minds, where perspectives share

The thrill of research, a treasure to unearth
A thesis takes shape, a story to give birth
The guidance of mentors, a helping hand
A support system, that understands

Through trials and tribulations, we find our way
And emerge stronger, with each passing day
The academic sojourn, a transformative ride
Where minds expand, and futures reside"

— The End —
