"Soyez muette pour moi, Idole contemplative..."
I came home and found a lion in my living room
...
A moment of quiet, in this frozen house,
Breathe it in, while you can.
He's coming back at about 4: 05pm,
To punish, an innocent lamb.

Hard were the calluses on my Daddy's hands the first time he held me,

Without our family's belief in God, life could have been harder.Who knows?

I, Bri, thought I might not submit another showcase, but, for Bharati Nayak, I DO.

I don’t think I’ll ever move on
You are too good to just let go

Prepared her teaching kit and some provision
To catch an early ride is a prize
And to be with her students was her great mission

MY STORY BY A. POEM
First, let me start by saying I was never that fond of poetry.
I know, I know- -I AM a poem…
...
I couldn't sleep. I was lying in bed watching the patterns reflected moonlight made on my ceiling when I heard the faint beep of the kitchen microwave. I smelled popcorn.
I decided to fill up my water bottle and see who was up. I slipped on a thick, terrycloth robe I'd gotten from Lisa last Christmas. It must weigh 15 pounds and it's so warm and heavy I seldom wear it.

Tell me how was your day
Since I could not see.
Tell me how you went your way,
As if you don't remember me.

They were designed to trap any mysteries from beyond our reach
With their special eyes and mouths, designed by their creators,
To see things and taste things, pass along the information, that was their niche.

Ha silly me.

I have been spending time in PH's ' Members' area, sampling...........the poets there.
And I've found a surprisingly-large number of fine poems, though SOME are....just "fair".

Two moons arising in the pale moonlight,

Deep inside you know there is someone special to be with
Never change yourself just for guy/girl because there is other fish in the sea
