She tells me
Apparently, I was a naughty boy At three, Disappearing in a shopping centre, Lost for what felt like hours. Legend has it, The infant siren song caught air-conditioned wind And led the search party to a curtained grotto. She tells me, there, they found My talent on display, A song and dance before a giant mirror, While curious stranger neighbours Changed their clothes. I don’t believe...

Echoes become fainter, scenes blur, The sharp clear focus softens in the listless mist As dust pervades relentless, unstoppable It quickens the quell that time tells Neglected memories to fade, be lost and...

Tells and Trails of War
All the calamities are meant to quiet noisy minds asking too many questions The signs of angst & friction is an attempt to rub us the wrong way quelling what our minds have to say In these days of endings & beginnings the way forward appears to be shrouded in confusion In a blink of an eye ghosts of the past return with masks in tow as if they fell...

The Mirror Tells
The mirror tells 'no cop in sight', So hit the gas, slow bus up there, Stop sign swings out, red flashing light, Swerve left, dumb kid, gave her a scare … My rearview shows I'm safely past, But that brat's face, how close it came. Oh, that's behind now, get home fast … It's me who matters in life's game! But why on...

When A Lover's Heart Tells Me No Lies

This heart, a lighthouse on trust's shore, Beams sincerity through stormy nights. A compass true, forevermore, Guiding our love to faithful heights. When a lover's heart speaks pure and clean, It's Eden's garden, unspoiled, serene....

the wildest largest most unbelievable tale is told by Peacock dear. Rambunctious raccoon is rolling his eyes, and a finger around his ear I try to concentrate, but keep peeking back at the raccoon, who is funny. Peacock's eyesight is not good, he cannot see approaching bunny. His ears are good, so he is right. Peacock’s story is implausible...

Premium Member As the family tells it
Great Aunt Rosa knits and crochets, but lately it's gotten carried away. bigger and better she'll delightfully say, while the rest of the family is left in dismay. It's more than just a color display, her nimble fingers have gone quite astray, the biggest project is now underway, a riotous monster whose name is Sir Ray. It fills up the house, we moan...
