If you take ten people
You will have ten colors
Ten colors of hair
Ten colors of eyes
Ten colors of smiles
Ten colors of lies
Ten colors of hands
Ten colors of feet
Ten colors of blood
Ten colors compete
Ten colors of mind
Ten colors of heart
Ten colors of love
Ten colors apart
What is ten times ten times ten?
And how many colors are in the world
If you get ten colors when you have ten men?
And where do I fit in? And where do you?
In a world of color with so many a hue

Cuppa
Tea is one of my absolute favorite beverages in the entire history of the world. And it has a lot of history! But that isn't what this poem is about. I wrote this poem to simply sing the praises of this wonderful and richly cultured drink with a poetry and grace all its own.

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
