civility rolled off autumns tongue after forty three and neigh a year coursing through four noble turns and twice unfolding the tear.
in her hands i'd rarely leep, occasionally for some sufferings sleep
and in the tree's i'd hang for she, often offered nothing of burglary
sheep and beep her alarms did seek, to conquer with force my earthly smell, learning to drink her milky swim i have lost verbs again
I don’t like the da, da da, da dark
Keep the nightlight on, please!
I would rather sit in the park
With the Sun always on, you see
I for real really don’t like the dark
Especially when evil lurking shadows
Leep out at me, sneak up on me
I would really rather be
Kneading some luminescent Play Do
Eating some glowing (s)lime green Jello
Skipping silver dollars in the pool
Being a downright good fellow
I will not goof around like a fool
Just sipping da margaritas
And being really really mellow and cool
That’s me, mellow and cool
Rainy day lovers huddled beneath a soft blue silk blanket
Abandoning the world and leaving it to its shenanigans we,
Iatrical healers, loved each other as the rain fell gently down.
Nature sounds poured into our ears like the gentle thrum of our hearts
Years have come and gone but I will never forget that rainy day in bed
Daytime lovers laugh and splash in the puddles but night time lovers
Abort the sun and marry the moon for the sake of one magical night
Years have come and gone but I will never forget that rainy day in bed
Lovers from the start never noticing the age. We just lived for
One another like two young teenagers. Years opened like origami paper
Vigilant eyes, soft lips and warm bodies. We wrinkled but never declined.
Each day is a gift. Rain or sun it doesn't matter, if you love *
Rest assured my love I won't forget that rainy day, nor your misty smile
Sleep safe in God's protect and know, these were memories of our time.

hummingbirds with chartreuse throats
scared to fly off the ground
favored tightrope walking
where the sky and ocean collide
she considered attempting flight
another time a circus visited town
another area where she may hide
hidden under a fake scowl
nestled comfortably away
from the mother bird's picks
a fledgling with propensity
with paralytic rhinitis
without plucking feathers
to reveal a fractured limb
or scars carved into wings
stitched together
a dinky bird soon gasped for air
hurriedly touched line
and took on a Goliath.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...
It was said back then
She was having a ball
but got too excited
and took a rough fall.
She looked for King's horses,
finding four of them
without their riders
in the light again...
So she looked for the Cat
Who said he knew 'that'
But had no path to the fixing ...
There the egg lay
with no plan in play
and no one doing the finding...
But then after time
there came a slight rhyme
that sounded like a road to healing...
A familiar pet
From a magic core set
Bet her mind to find
the Operation ....
So she removed two pair
and without Uncles chair
Created her way
to Well again.
A Magician watched
from across the road
finding Love in this clever code!
And so gave her egg a new pen...
" it's quite all right to be, Long "

Natalia’s expecting her very first child
Early morning sickness thankfully it is mild
When feeling first kick, husband and wife smiled
Baby names chosen for girls and boys
Eager friends buy clothing and soft toys
Great excitement at Natalia’s due date
Isaac and Natalia simply cannot wait
No sign of contractions, the time drags by
Next day labor and baby gives a hearty cry
Incredible joy when they take baby home
Now life’s complete with their son Jerome
Getting into routine, they’re finding it strange
Sleep deprivation – both hope that will change!

V-ery fine and sound sleep
A-llows your head to rest;
N-ever mind the alarm,
E-ventide does its best.
S-ound sleep's melody
S-ings life's lullaby;
A-n infant is lulled to slumber neath the sky.
J-ust go to sound sleep,
A-s the night is falling;
N-either nightmare nor bad dream
E-nters into your thinking.
R-elax September fourteenth,
A-nd close your eyes so deep;
M-oon makes the serenity
O-f a quiet and sound
S-leep.
N-o one knows the time,
F-rom the cradle to the grave,
S-leep till you rise up.

we've a crazy
bull frog in our
pond for when
you come upon
our pond to take
a peek or a look
see he doesn't
startedly leep
he
ever
so slowly
sinks like an
alligator in his pond
deep water can wrestles golf street
hula-hoop raise count election
aquantance leep brick castle mound
Work at strengthening your relationships
Exercise your body and mind daily
Live responsibly; live life to the fullest
Love yourself; love others
Never take your health for granted
Eat a well-balanced diet
Stay fit and active
Sleep well

R-adiant star in the sky
O-ften shines in the night;
E-ven the light of the moon
L-ooks like equally-bright.
C-omforting star in the sky
A-ims to bring sweet slumber;
S-leep safe and sound,
T-wenty-first November.
I-t glows in the darkness,
L-etting the bats fly so high;
L-ane above is keeping
O-ne radiant star in the sky.
S leep is fine like wine
E specially when jazz is low and
Daydreams are plentiful
A nd when rain pours
T he aim is to take
E xtra excellent care of one self
