PRIMORDIAL POOLS

-Ruth Asare

Deep in the woods a phenomenon occurs Abounding with primitive life, it endures Steam gently rises from the Primordial Pool As warm water mingles with air so cool Cradled in forest that reaches to the sky Pungent scents on the breeze waft by Slippery water upon your skin glides Herein Nature’s secret abides When with the water you begin to blend Your physical ailments soon start to mend Purging the body of all impurities Cleansing the mind of all absurdities Heat flows from deep within the earth Reclaiming you with a sense of mirth

1,2, Buckle My Shoe -(Nick Doerfler) 1,2 buckle my shoe 3,4 shut the door 5,6 PICK UP STICKS 7,8 LAY THEM STRAIGHT 9,10 A BIG FAT HEN.

Haiku

As a penny lands upon An old turtle’s back
