And hear what you imPARt.

Blindly swallowing
And dancing on your PARquet. . . . more

Avowed suitor of mine so dear
Hath overpowered my father’s sneer

Her tears and laughter are mine.
I am my grandma’s joy

Fell short when they were weighed
In one direction then a next;

to grasp one's attention
keeping the interest

heat grips my neck
my hands,
with folds of the sticky sheet.

About her album, a very large tome
