I see such pure skin
Beneath the stretch-marks and scars
Is that a freckle?

Indian Summer
My favorite season
Has mine come to pass?

Uttered languages
I was not allowed Russian
So spoke the wrong words

I hate to be late
This standard being challenged
Tardiness presides

My son is screaming
He isn't getting his way
How long 'til he stops?

When my self can't think
My being yearns to become
Extraordinary

A warm breeze blows early
Is it a "Strawberry Spring?"
Or just a nice day?

My heart beats so strong
And with such amazing love
It chokes in my throat

Why seek to escape
A responsibility
That oen truly loves?

My children need me
Though I am a great mother
I fear failing them

Immune system down
Viral infection this time
Endocrine outage

Xenaphobia
Anxious, scared and all-alone
Is hell my own choice?

If my mind were free
And my body uninjured
Would my being live?

I no longer work
With kindled passion to teach
To students' forfeit

For my birthday treat
I made "haikuicise" blog
And danced without feet
