A Symbol
What does the American flag mean to you?
Black stars and blue stripes
And a red field.
Craziness in all types,
Makes the dreamer, in his mind, take shield.
Awakened to find the banner
Flying in the wind,
The dreamer sees the message that the warriors tried to send.
He retains his composure and every manner.
It’s greatness that flies.
Colors run deep and true.
Like an eagle that cries
Once hoisted, pride is then renewed.
Secure this standard like a precious child.
Continue to make it strong.
Never falter or make it meek and mild.
Keep it glorious as the countrymen go along.
Know that it is a symbol,
And that to protect it you must be focused and nimble.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
