World Book and Copyright Day — and a Gift For My Readers
Hi, everyone. Today is World Book and Copyright Day, as designated by UNESCO. The date is symbolic: Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died on April 23. The stated purpose of the event is to pay world-wide tribute to books and authors, and to encourage everyone to discover the joys of reading.

He Perhaps Ought
The birds fail to drown out the thought
he perhaps ought
Not to entertain.
But can a man
Who’s blood is hot

And wonder why

Is not you, or you, or you!

Balloon
Its late.
The expensive balloon
Will soon
Deflate
Leaving
The boy grieving.
The girl will shrug her shoulder
And think “thank god that’s over”.
I Think Of Ozymandias

Idols fall.
Fallen Fruit
Low-hanging fruit I recall.
I longed to taste,
For some say it is the route
To pleasure. yet
in my haste
To enjoy
I did forget
That the worm does destroy,
And the boy
Should not tempt the fruit to fall.

Its funny
How money
Creates a hole
In one’s soul
Introspection
Introspection
May lead to dejection,
But it is better to think
Than lose oneself in drink.
