Dire predictions
the dimple in a grim smile
Is my resistance
like changing seasons
heedless deeds spin fortune’s wheel
a chain reaction
I see with thine eye
Is this the lover’s edict
hybrid creations
In a lawless world
karma keeps a watchful gaze
the peasant toils on
Inhibited soul
you must bloom in their vision
to grow your wisdom
On a dreamer’s whim
pave new ways to withered ends
that you must rebuild

Tall Tales Corner
We named her Aangaz the village clutz Clumsy to a tear Tinkles trailed her tippytap step pots and pans broke in her wake coins and trinkets fell from her pockets the children chortled with laughter but always returned her lost treasures and how she loved them so One day the earth shook trees fell, roofs collapsed, wildebeests stampeded Many passed, more were injured but none of them children For Aangaz the village clutz Tippytapped through the mayhem Clumsy with everything- except what she truly loved...

Looking forward to your thoughts. I’m still getting a hang on telling tall tales, I’m not writing them just right, but I’ll get better.
Shalom
Namaste
