Like a full-service gas station or postal service workers displaced, racing to Staples retail for employment against the rules of labor, poets are out of business nowadays, you know.

Your Plucky World
Straining made some sail from north to reach south, What if all they wanted was a treasure to be found in a Nutella bowl? Now that the ‘average’ has become the new definition of failure, Don’t know how many will serve under the deleterious! Because perspectives look always sublime […]
Our Last Chat
It often crosses my mind the last time we talked at the gate of the drive of his parents’ house a few doors up from mine a brief casual chat about the end of our schooldays and our hopes for college and our lives beyond. Eighteen! How callow we were, […]

Spending Holiday in a Zoo
One day a young boy with his younger sister decided to go to the Zoo to spend their time leisurely. The girl wore embroidered bodice, trousers of shimmering silk brocade and slippers, The boy who looked romantic was dressed in velvet breeches and a white shirt. They went to a […]
