Homo Sapiens Middleio Agedus Ambulatoris: A Field Guide
National Poetry Month/Poem a Day
If the specimen takes
Short mincing
Rapid steps
Its feet hurt
If the specimen lurches
Side to side
Like ET
It has knee problems
If the specimen stops
Swinging one whole
Side forward
It has a damaged hip
If the specimen walks
Perfectly upright
Knees bent
It has poor balance
If the specimen leans forward
Hunched
Walking rapidly
It has a bad back
If the specimen
Does all of the above
It’s probably
Me

Appreciation of the work Angels and Demons
The novel "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown is a marvelous work of literature, opening up a world full of mystery, conspiracy, and the juxtaposition between the two supreme forces of the Vatican organization. Written by a talented author, the book is not only an adventurous journey full of drama but also an opportunity to delve deep into philosophical, religious, and scientific issues.
