Creator’s heart was stone

Leonid Rozumenko 1961 (Kyiv)

If human clones form your insult, -
My friend, don’t be naïve, -
You’re scared about the first result,
How God created Eve!

The creator’s heart was stone.
Was futile Adam’s pain -
The rib was only bone
Without any brain.

You don’t need intellect
To rip an envelope,
And motherhood is Fact,
And fatherhood is Hope.

But still my awe to them
It’s not the hidden stock.
Who likes this life exam?
Has a right to make a joke!

I want to fill your life
With worth, and love itself.
And I should thank myself
For what is in my wife!

Leonid Rozumenko

Someone in your domain asks me to send a letter about myself. My pleasure - favorite topic. Who am I? Can’t keep a secret - athletic, open-minded, and generous, with a wide scope, love for women, good company. With love for science and to write something everlasting, which isn’t computer programming anymore. I was born in gorgeous Kyiv (Ukraine) more than 35 years ago, lived in the USA for longer than 4 years and my language is still in progress. My poetry is also a colorful picture of the unseeing battle between “yours truly” and English grammar. My Ukrainian or Russian accent has two unreliable reasons – it’s “for fun” and “hard to get rid of”. The meaning of my last name “Rozumenko” in Ukrainian is very close to “jaba-jaba a dada” in “Crocodile Dundee II”. I have several other weaknesses but I introduce them only to my closest friends. Yours truly, Leo Rozumenko more…
