“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Rose
Standing tall
Never fall
A single red rose
In a proud pose
Petals shiny and red
With a promise to never shed
Come shine or rain
The rose will stay
Proud, red and tall
And never, ever fall

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light”
Helen Keller
Friends of Mine
Please, be kind
Always, rewind
For these are all
Friends of mine
They were hard to find
Some, even declined
Some, were left behind
Some of them, combined
But when in a grind
I just had to remind
And here they all arrived
These, friends of mine

“If, as a chemist, I see a flower, I know all that is involved in synthesizing a flower’s elements.
And I know that even the fact that it exists is not something that is natural. It is a miracle”
— Albert Hofmann
Elements and Symbols
Undiscovered
Laying dormant
Recovered
By an informant
The symbols drawn
Onto the unknown elements
Before the early dawn
Possibly as ornaments
Signs of prediction
Part, of some ancient superstition
Colourful
But fearful
These elements and symbols
Remaining a riddle
But nothing to belittle
Possibly the initials
Of gods from the past
Carved into stone
For ages to last

Pink Flora
“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature”
Gerard De Nerval
Space Oddity
“This is Major Pink,
Calling ground control, over”
“Ground control to Major Pink,
We hear you loud and clear”
“Uhm, I am in a wee bit of trouble here,
It seems, my pods won’t retract, over!”

Simply Pink
Yes, we are pink
Yes, we are in sync
Yes, we may stink
Yes, it’s the odour of pink
No, we are not a missing link
No, us, you can not drink
No, we are not an inc
So, just let this all, slowly sink

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature”
Gerard De Nerval
Rhythmic
Stacked, with a rhythm
By someone, with a vision
It seems, like repetition
But it is clearly, symbolism

“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch
One – Two – Fun
Red headed
Pen for a body
None too snotty
Just a little naughty
Always jolly
Is this little dolly
Ready,
For the utmost folly
Looking for a play
Sometimes, a needle in the hay
Never too long to stay
With fun in its veins
It cannot be detained
Like a hurricaine
It flees this very plane
Looking, for a new game

“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”
Randy Pausch
One – Two – Fun
White headed
Green bodied
One minded
Fun winded
Sitting on the sidewalk
Always on the stalk
For a little distraction
Some kind of action
Of the fun variety
With a sense of propriety

“Our house, in the middle of the street”
Madness
Welcome
Welcome, to our house
For a stay or just a browse
Be all welcome, even a mouse
Just remember, to wear a shirt
Or at least, a pretty blouse

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore
Brick in the Wall
Just another brick in the wall
On this oldest of town halls
Up, up, the rugged stones yourself haul
Reaching the top, you might feel quite small
But when you stand up, and do not fall
You feel yourself, getting quite tall
No time to stall
And to be, another brick on that wall
