An evil stepmother
a bad calculating mother
teaches her own children
values morals of little worth.
...
Throughout life if we work hard or inherit
many material possessions may be gained.
Objects which may fulfill or clutter our lives?
Yet that which is gained can also be lost.
...
a whirl of sunshine and cup of blue
within a single line of poetry
our world becomes a spinning top
...
Strictly
non-interventionist.
Individual contributions
species coordinated.
...
Nobody can swim
indefinitely.
With a weight.
Tied around their legs.
...
Olympic runner sprints naked
laurel wreath crowns months training
amphora immortalized moment
...
What is this moth life?
To sleep all day
to hide from the light
...
If in darkness die
I should this night...
before see I rise
faint pale moon light...
...
