POEMS

1 

The road zig-zags

across the valley

and yet never really

moves at all.

2 [Kids poem for Moon Tea]

Can Earthlings fly?

Of course they can!

To think they can't is absurd.

Can Earthlings fly?

Of course they can.

Remember some earthlings are birds.

3

I try to steer my boat,

but the sea underneath has a current

that also has a tide

pulled by the Moon above.

It's all a lesson to learn.

Don't fight the sea's current,

or the winds that blow,

or  the Moon above.

And who knows little boat

what currents higher up

pulls the tugging Moon!

4 [ Kids poem for Moon Tea]

Graveyards are locked at night

when all the ghosts run free.

so IF you dare to visit one

take a skeleton key!

5 Rallying the troops]

War is last century boys.

Leave it to the old men

to wave their stick like arms. 

And battle it out in their buzzing heads!

War is last century boys!

6 [The four elements]

Look at the Moon.

What do you see;

a rock, 

a raindrop,

a light, 

a balloon?

SAYINGS

Shouldn't art explain itself?

Minimalism at its worst, can be nothing much to say

The ENS and digestion system is the powerhouse for the body; like the mitochondria is for the cell.

I am an illuminated manuscript!
