A friend of mine gave birth to her baby girl several weeks ago. I wrote this poem and read it to her as a gift. Forgive my bad English...
Oh baby, my baby My little sparkling ruby Let me sing thee a lullaby Until in thy dreams thou fly Then fly up high my darling Where the stars are twinkling Happy – they are greeting thee And happy when thou come to me… I give thou this life - precious And thou give me a new one – marvelous Lives filled with joy and wonderment In this sweet home, we’re never despondent… “Can thou feel the love tonight?” Thou, me and dad – we’re all alight With adoration and tenderness Oh, this moment – pleasingly timeless… |

Dancing Woman
She dances through the park in a world of her own to music others can’t hear She looks in your eye with a Mona Lisa smile then dips and twirls and steps With snaps of her fingers she side-steps along forward, back then turn Kenny A. Chaffin – 11/4/2013 P. S. Not much poetry going on here, but here's a try at one, first in a long time.. |

My writing is not going real well this month, but here's a couple of poems:
Timeframes The dinosaurs (other than birds) died 65 million years ago Man himself has existed only a few ten thousands of years In 65 million years (given our current state) can even the bones of our cities survive? Kenny A. Chaffin – 11/18/2013 The One Many leaves have fallen upon the garden path a gentle breeze touches my cheek and a single leaf takes a dance Kenny A. Chaffin – 11/20/2013 |

Stillborn
The conditions were right Water, sulfur, carbon and light but something was wrong the core stopped spinning no magnetic arms to wrap themselves ‘round the planet’s nascent life. So the solar wind in Hesperian days stripped the air and water away leaving newborn life gasping and dying on the rust-red surface below. Kenny A.
