As I pinch a piece of peppermint…
From a selected twig.
To twist with lemon peel.
And add for taste to rum I drink.
Deliciously sipped,
I sit back and relax.
To enjoy this treat that enhances a peace.
Increasing within me to allow daydreams.
Nothing more I convince myself of this…
Can be so good!

Flaunting our possessions,
Seems to be, of late, outdated.Inflated egos held unshakened,Have suddenly taken a backseat…To become, today, a display passé.Who is lesbian or gay or both…Has diminished innuendos,And less folks peeking…From behind closed blinds,Where for sale signs are exposed!Something has come to stun.Affecting the lives of everyone!Reality bites with a painful sting.Less is being gossiped about trivial…
