  1. The Eaglet

    The little eagle in her nest
    does wish to spread her wings
    The lofty height of baskets made
    the abode from which she sings

    The first flight a scary trip
    the maiden voyage made

    from memory never fade

    So eager to jump from the safe
    into the unknown sky
    to fly with buzzards, ravens, crows,
    to see things from so high

    The eaglet lifts up from the pad
    to ...

    French Mélodies Part 3

    Give Me Only Your Words

    and in the darkness become dull,
    in time even those most costly
    can start to erode.

    Some may desire fresh smelling
    flowers, and they are pretty in their colors
    at least for a while, but not long lasting
    and soon will start to wither and die
    and beneath their exterior

    IDIOT SIGHTING
    When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.'

    This was at the ...

    The big shape thrust forward. It was something he had said, something he had done to make him this way, but he didn't know what as the son stepped backward at the top of the stairs.

    "You think your big? Come on hit me! Hit me right here!" The big shape that was his father leaned towards him and stuck out his hairy chin pointing and demanding.

    "Hit me! Kill me!" He withdrew a rusty pistol from behind a pile of papers on the floor. He tauntingly shoved ...
