Sparrows

On the slab of my southern windows they sat and chirped Telling it's time, and we are here. They dance, they prance on the patterned grills-- grabbing the attention, you can say.

Late Morning Drool

Mean(the)while…

Today someone may present his resignation to enjoy his life fullest. Some lady today may stand up against the oppression against her.
