you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little

Foreigners are people somewhere else,
Natives are people at home;
If the place you’re at
Is your habitat,

I started on my homework
but my pen ran out of ink.
My hamster ate my homework.
My computer's on the blink.

Come into the Church, the Vicar said,
Otherwise you'll be standing in the flowerbed,
Because outside, there really is no space,
It's filled seemingly by the 'whole human race',
...
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
...
Crouch'd on the pavement close by Belgrave Square
A tramp I saw, ill, moody, and tongue-tied;
A babe was in her arms, and at her side
A girl; their clothes were rags, their feet were bare.
...
A girl sang a song in the temple's chorus,
About men, tired in alien lands,
About the ships that left native shores,
And all who forgot their joy to the end.
...
You might think there’s a creepy castle,
Lost somewhere in time,
You might think it has ghosts all around,
But it’s just in your mind.

This morning the sun spattered the world with blue
Skies and from their resting places the winds blew
In reply. Now around us we see blue jays,
...
There was not
a single human
being
...
THUS seethed unceasing the son of Healfdene
with the woe of these days; not wisest men
assuaged his sorrow; too sore the anguish,
loathly and long, that lay on his folk,

A friend is one who is like me,
or is it one who likes me much,
and maybe someone you can touch?
Perhaps a buddy who would be

The women guild members sat to celebrate life achievement
It was awesome for the beautiful women
They counted themselves lucky to be alive courtesy of God
They discussed their life milestones
...
i sat up and looked over the vast sea,
huge water body spread over horizon,
like a well mowed British meadow,
in blue sapphire, sharp curves in,
...
The chatter of little people
Breaks on my purpose
Like the water-drops which slowly wear the rocks to powder.
And while I laugh
...
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings
won!

'Who claims our Shakespeare from that realm unknown,
Beyond the storm-vexed islands of the deep,
...
They are ugly and all green
The weirdest things ever seen
They have an antenna on top
And their inventions are never a flop
...
Long ere the Muse the strenuous chords had swept,
And the first lay as yet in silence slept,
A Time there was which since has stirred the lyre
...
SING, mountain-wind, thy strong, superior song—
Thy haughty alpine anthem, over tracts
Whose passes and whose swift, rock-straitened streams
...
I am compelled to write about Mount St. Helens
Even though I sit here in Texas, in the fever of clear blue air,
Too far away to know how. I cannot write about her fitful sleep,
Restless with nightmares whose boundaries novaed,
...
I will not perturbate
Thy Paradisal state
With praise
Of thy dead days;

The super alien spies are all from Mars an’ bugger
By god they masquerade as coloured sugars,
An’ even name a chockie bar after their planet
Then cross the oceans on the back of a gannet

Harry had a fault – the need
to get in cars and drive at speed.
He had no manners or decorum
behind the wheel – his worried Mum
...
I'm an alien to myself,
Because, I often improvise my doings
I don't feel satisfied,
for whatever I have achieved
...
LISTEN, young heroes! your country is calling!
Time strikes the hour for the brave and the true!
...
After years of aimless wanderings
Leaving behind the cities of midnight revels
And the fevered journey in metro rails,
I am back at the land of my people.
...
I'm sorry if I doubt it,
Your plan to tell the truth.
I hear you might try charging.
Perhaps, set up a booth.

1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us:
consider, and behold our reproach.
2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers,

IN woods remote, hid in the mountain hollows,
Doves there are that have a gentler beauty,
Doves that are marked as by a poet's image,

I chanced upon an early walk to spy
A troop of children through an orchard gate:
The boughs hung low, the grass was high;
...
Raschi of Troyes, the Moon of Israel,
The authoritative Talmudist, returned
From his wide wanderings under many skies,
...
He who could beard the lion in his lair,
To bind him for a girl, and tame the boar,
And drive these beasts before his chariot,
...
We come like bats that out of a dark cave
Have suddenly been scared into the day,
Blear-eyed and vexed as here and there they flap,
...
At length, my friend, the far-sent letters come,
Charged with thy kindness, to their destin'd home,
...
To the tune of "Bodhisattva Aliens"
Soft breezes, mild sunshine,
spring is still young.

Not much of hatred
Not much of hatred is to be shown
As president of America is known

There lived a man up on a hill
The locals did not bid him ill
But playground whispers of this one
Who kept his offspring in the sun
...
A Scholar is musing on his want of success.
To strive—and fail. Yes, I did strive and fail;
I set mine eyes upon a certain night
...
THE night-birds cry in the bush outside,
And I write here, though the hour be late;
And what shall I write of the man who died?

LAST week — the Lord be praised for all His mercies
To His unworthy servant! — I arrived
Safe at the Mission, via Westport; where

If God ever wishes to befriend me,
First I shall tell him,
'Wait, let me feel You once'
And I shall stretch my hands to Him.

Follow Trump

themselves Shakespearean,
and all humans are more divine!
How to live loving within

'When all suns set, all sights go blind,
All moons recede, vanish thirsts,
When fires settle, pangs of hunger subside,
When all lightning fades, perishes lust,

I started on my homework,
but my pen ran out of ink…
My hamster ate my homework…
My computer's on the blink…

They had kept me imprisoned there for three full days,
In that sparse, solitary room, of scarce sunshine rays.
Having good food to eat, had never been a problem;
...
Lover, I’ve been thinking
about a new analogy
to describe us to ourselves from you to
me, and I think I’ve found us:
...
What links are ours with orbs that are
So resolutely far:
The solitary asks, and they

Soft breeses, mild sunshine,sring is still young.
The sudden change to light apparel
brightened my spirit.
But upon awakening from slumber, I felt the cilly air;
...
Knowest thou now, O Love! Oh pure from the death of thy summer of sweetness!
Seest thou now, O new-born Delight of the Ransomed and Free!
...
I'm thinking, I'm thinking,
That's why, I am really thinking,
There are many things in the world,
That still remains quite untold.
...
As I lay face-up upon my bed, strange thoughts roared inside my head.
The ceiling light's cover seemed like a pearl, causing my synapses to swiftly swirl.
Was I really in a house, pray tell? Or was I encased in a huge oyster shell?
Was I a man such as you might greet, or was I a great big hunk of oyster meat?

City of contrasts and perspectives
as the guide describes,
one is baffled where to begin:
Eiffel's rusty looks scaling into evanescent skies

My Country, though rude yet, and wild, be thy nature,
This alone our proud love should beget and command:

Beaming a Beatle tune, Across the Universe, is a fanciful idea,
It will take 431 years, at the speed of light, to reach the star of the north,
Permission was given by all those involved to NASA,
It will be beamed like satellite television is to today,

Aliens have found their way
Into my compelling dreams
They don't look like in movies
They don't sound like Mork from Ork
...
For many a year,
It never existed,
It was never built,
And was never visited,
...
Any culture that teaches tolerance is great
Their back ground and heritage may clearly state
The excavations may lead to some clue
It is remnant of national treasure and venue
...
And then they developed
An Art of Speaking-
That made a monkey a king!
...
In the world of many beautiful living beings we like to live
Observing the sky and looking curiously at the rare visitors
A squirrel, a sparrow, a parrot and a dragon fly.
...
Lo by the “humpy” door a smockless Venus!
Unblushing bronze, she shrinks not, having seen us,
Though there is nought but short couch-grass between us
...
Come again, come again
Outside my window
As dome-shaped saucers
Shining an ethereal light
...
Along the borders of the silver Thone,
With alders dank, and matted sedge o'er-grown,
Led by the guidance of the shepherd swain,
Unseen, and silent, pass the cautious train,
...
The aliens have landed and to our surprise,
They are just like us not small with green eyes,
This is truly an awesome surprise,
They've assured us we have nothing to fear.

They stole the sparkle

Aliens or monsters?
Diving in water
Flying in the air
Falling on the earth

Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.

Two clouds before the summer gale
In equal race fleet o'er the sky:
Two flowers, when wintry blasts assail,
Together pins, together die.

You're so far from my Mississippi,
But I know you are the one.
I never dreamed of aliens
'Til you made for me a sun.

To find the answers of agnostic quests,
they came on earth as amazing guests.
As hunters they came and became hunted,
three cheers to the women who nicely shunted.

IN my hot youth I rashly penned
A Sonnet of the After-life.
It was the time of stress and strife
Through which the ardent soul must wend.

How big of breast our Mother Gaea laughed
At sight of her boy Giants on the leap

We are all aliens walking about
Seen anything else like us here
A definite emphathic - No!
Know anyone who destroys

In shadows cast by stars above,
A nation's watchful gaze has found.
In covert ways, they seek to prove
The beings from beyond our kind.

Love needs no introduction
She is like a young woman
Whose beauty calls attention
Of the admiring young man

She asked to explain why rain doesn't fall up.
On this point, Newton has a theory

Whatever you've come here to get
Try to forget it
It is so inhumane, replaceable,
Maybe you were looking for love

I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world, I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah, Message in a bottle, yeah

Rake of life,
Cake of love,

The modernized world boasting of civilization isn't an abode
For permanent stay, but only for a sojourn being perhaps
A junction in our journey of soul in the vast Universe long
Just as for the aliens, who visited once so and flew away!
...
In outer space all of the aliens know 'Bowie'
With him - we never felt alone...
'Ziggy Stardust'with his orange hair hypnotized...
Softening many hearts once made of stone.

Corn Circles scattered across our land,
Are they by aliens, or by humans planned,
Patterns so intricate, they so amaze,
Is it a hostile message, or just a craze.

Once upon a time, o my sons and daughters, listen!
You must always listen!
People would with wide open heart and eyes welcome
But, now, with ice-frozen eyes they look at us and fear our shadows

He was very much fond of crushing sugar cane,
With the teeth so strong, and sucking its juice,
Then came a day when all his teeth were lost due to age,
Now he couldn't crush and took the juice packed in tins,

Regurgitating the reflux
Drained off the corrosives
The channel
Was invaded

They never met and they never will.
They were born in different times
And in very different places.
From whence came their amazing bond of love?

Hiroshima happened, Nagasaki happened
No lessons were learnt, no one remembers
How very beautiful crystal clear mornings
Of singing birds, rosy cheeked schoolkids

An Armadillo with its armored
Skin sauntered to a stranger
You touch me and I flinch
Your words coach me
