Pay attention
To your instinct
To shun danger.
The inclination for heedlessness is a blessing.
Every point will, without a doubt, be invigorating.
With another blast of matured positive thinking.
To retrace our steps, civilization is slowly blurring.
Freedom projects exceptional, desolate lighting.
The power to ignore is a beautiful endowment of embracing.

To be successful at what you do
you’ve got to have the wright attitude
With success there is always failure
so, you can learn from ones’ aptitude
When you compete for juicy steaks
there always could be, a slight defect
Let’s face it, we all make mistakes
as no one can be, that perfect
Ever take an aptitude test and fail
Means you've stumbled off the trail
There's still hope
Join a class of dopes
Methinks you're dumber than a bag of nails

Topic: Birthday of Paulyn Faith B. Francisco (September 05)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
She was a lego queen.
A future engineer.
Building stealthily and smartly,
a quick minded girl.
Six-years-old, and swore her
parents would not buy her legos
because she is a girl.
I watched her build a house,
intelligently and quickly, smartly.
She is the only child I have seen
out of hundreds of children, builders
aged 8 and 9 even, who figured out
how to add the windows which I had been
told by many other children did not fit.
I reached for the phone after she
left, to call her mother, and ask if I might
buy her legos. The phone was disconnected,
not unexpected, just unsurprisingly still sad.
