TR and Pinocchio

Folder: 
Children

They say that

Pinocchio's nose

when he lies

does grow

but in T's case

the throat constricts

changing the sound

of the voice..

and the eyes dim

. for clouds have

passed over the sun of

truth







ASIAN FEET

AND METRICAL FEET



he thought it wrong

to be bound by a 17

syllable haiku

rule (17 is

the 8 vibration of

mars)

as it was to bind

Asian feet

in tiny shoes

or force an elephant

to stand on a stool

or confine

bonsai

in tiny vases

or put infinite

children

in spirit killing schools

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Frank McGee who once held the
Meet The Press chair
put peace over his career
as he helped to end
the Vietnam War.
Octogenarian Walter Cronkite is
working night and day
for peace

The writer in decades
past has distorted
the truth when confronted
by traffic policeman
after rolling through
a stop sign
.. If writer had forgiven
her own past infidelity
to truth, that of others
would not bother her
