Anyone nit-picking enough to write a letter of correction to an editor doubtless deserves the error that provoked it.

Birdbrain

I am but a fool
To love you so
Simply a fool
I should have let go

I am but a fool
A ninny, a nit
I am but a fool
A birdbrain, a twit

I am just a bonehead
A halfwit, a boob
I am but a dimwit
A silly old goose

But I just can't help it…
My heart's made that way
I'll still love tomorrow
What I've loved so today…

I Sneezed Twice!

I sneezed twice!
And, you fell into the trap set for you! !
Because, you slept with somebody's wife.

The little you,
The little you get;
The more you give,
The more you get;
Git, it, bit, fit, hit, lit!
And, that is the secrect of the rule of life.

Kit, wit, nit, zit, pit, sit;
But, why do you hear the truth and still do not believe in it? !
For, life is like a big road with many signs,
So, do not complicate your mind before these signs.

Homeland

I see around on my home ground,
the fake smile on my red roses,
for they are truly wounded,
with the poison i advatised.

It's the old structure of my grand father,
it was stable when i grew in,
now it is not a shining feather,
as of now is always leaking in,

Old is Gold they used to say,
but mine is a beauty dample i say,
for the cockroaches, mosquitoes and fly,
it is interesting for the acting stars,

Friends makes funny of it,
saying it's peaceful staying in it,
I smile and cry with it,
as my son like it anyway.

The Nit Picker

A garden full of tender care
brings joy beyond and above
NOT UNLIKE A CHILD
When given unconditional love
For like a garden that’s picked and picked
a child will not grow
for so much picking just destroys the roots
and no more blossoms will show
From the depth of the earth the weeds appear
their ugly forms take over
the child that’s hurt shows anger abound
and the offender should run for cover
So slow down now and think about
the damage that you have done
AS A PARENT OF SUCH A
WONDERFUL CHILD
who’s life has just begun
Don’t turn her into a garden of weeds
its time, from where I'm sitting
turn it around with love abound

Der 13. Psalm.

Herr, wie lang wilt vergessen mein
In meiner grosen note?
Wie lang verpirgst das antlitz dein?
Herr, wie lang sol ich gote
5
(Hie rat!) suechen pey meiner seel?
Wie lang sol mein herz leiden quel?
Mein feint thuet sich erheben.

Schaw und erhor mich, herr und got,
Und mein augen erleuchte,
10
Das ich nit entschlaff in dem dot,
Das sich mein feint guet dewchte,
Das er mein mechtig worden sey,
Und sich mein widersacher frey,
Das ich sey umbgestosen.

15
Herr, ich hoff aber auf dein guet,

With A Motivation Determined

One must never forget,
The generosity expressed...
By those who are naysayers.

If it had not been for nit pickers,
Critics and character assassinators...
Who would be instilled,
With a motivation determined...
To see their dreams fulfilled?

Who could say with honesty,
There was no one that boosted their desire...
To prove there was something of merit,
They could get done and could do?

Few can say they achieved,
Because it was for them a hobby.
And they awakened inspired by their own aspirations,
Without 'somebody' riding on their back.

A nice to recall

We need grace
All odds to face
Disappears often
She may soon soften

She needs embrace
Nit and tight
To feel it right
With internal light

Her kidda is no more
She did adore
She was sad never before
I solace her therefore

G stands for good
It serves as food
Food is must
Else it will rust

Read My Poetry

Please...
I beg of thee.
To gaze upon and read,
My poetry.
And quote...
In notes.
How it left you charmed,
Or provoked.

Please...
I beg of thee.
To gaze upon and read,
My poetry.
'Fantastic' comments I accept.
Even nit picking critics...
Aren't rejected at this love fest.

Please...
I beg of thee.
To gaze upon and read,
