Together We Grow...

by Mist Glantz

Whenever we're together
You outshine the sun
When I need a friend to hold
Or a friendly listening ear
I always hope it's you
And it is when you're here
Together our friendship flows
Together we both seem to grow
And flower and bloom
Like friends sometimes do

Fern Hill

by Dylan Thomas

Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.

Phenomenal Woman

by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman

Vocation

by Rabindranath Tagore

When the gong sounds ten in the morning and I walk to school by our
lane.
Every day I meet the hawker crying, "Bangles, crystal
bangles!"
There is nothing to hurry him on, there is no road he must
take, no place he must go to, no time when he must come home.
I wish I were a hawker, spending my day in the road, crying,
"Bangles, crystal bangles!"
When at four in the afternoon I come back from the school,
I can see through the gate of that house the gardener digging

Teeth

by Spike Milligan

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
English Teeth, Happy Teeth!
Always having fun
Clamping down on bits of fish
And sausages half done.
English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!

The sun climbs out to reach you

by John Hughes

The sun is sinking yet climbing and maneuvering through the trees, the branches, the leaves, the buildings, the windows, the smog, and the streaks on the window to reach you and touch you and your head. Its like it wants to give all of its love to you no matter where you are.

Mellow Paradise

by Margaret Chekh

Beneath the rays of the unmerciful sun
July sang its old drowsy tune,
Even the birds made no move to shun,
As they stood mesmerized by the croon.

In that hush of a golden disc,
I surrendered to stillness of grove;
Only thoughts were not silent and brisk,
Aching bitterly, longing to prove

by atef ayadi

she said:
language turned us into liars lying to ourselves.
morality invented "evil" so we could feel guilty about being animals.
technology gave us tools to fix problems we wouldn’t have without tools.
so,
what can you add on top that?
