Gifts Of Night: Toddaid

                                          As the starry night descends on, earth’s lap

she brings heavenly sap, and her scent

she unfurls the moon, from under a veil

enchanting dales, with moonlight’s boon

her cape of bright stars, floats among flowers

forever showers, peace near and far

dreams shine bright, away from reality

embracing tranquility, of night

  Toddaid: A Welsh poetry form. Quatrains, L1 10 syllables, L2 9 syllables.

Outlier

We know an outlier

can set data on fire.

If not removed,

results can be dire:

maybe by chance,

they tend to enhance

research’s errors,

at least at first glance..

But review the outlier,

while you enquire

and you may discover

some clues that inspire.

Ripples Of Time

When emotions roll through,
the river of memories,
countless ripples of time,
splash through the mind.                                                       

                                                                         

Every ripple,
a special feeling,
love, anger,
happiness or sadness,
carries a story,
of life lived,
cherished,
lost or survived.

Beneath these ripples,
beats a heart,
resides a soul,
bearers of our,
spiritual existence.

Ripples of time, a chronology of time.
