A Beautiful Angel
A free-verse poem inspired by the movie Harold and Maude. This poem is about the movie character Harold Chasen himself
His eyes are round,
sweet and soft
like fuzzy peaches and nectarines.
They’re blush and bright
like creamed raspberries
and cranberries.
His short hair is dark
like chocolate brownies,
thick as a blanket
and smooth like silk satin.
His lips are red
like scarlet hearts,
thin like silky ribbons
and delicious
like strawberry preserves.
His face is gorgeous as
a male baby-faced porcelain doll
who smiles to hide his inner wounds.
He’s clothed in black and sadness
than in colours of joy, peace,
happiness, love, spring and summer.
The banjo is his therapist,
the hearse is his brother,
funerals are his escape,
the old lady is his best friend.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
