Best Bueno Poems
rain’s paean is played
with lover’s tender kisses
cold breeze sways with grace
water on the ground
symphony of crystal drops
kisses warmth their heart
moonlight smiles with glee
dark clouds shower them with bliss
thunder drums so sweet
one heart and one soul
unselfishly shield, no fear
rain’s concluding hymn

Recently, my ears have heard
Some news that sounds quite absurd
My eyes can’t believe what they have seen
Is this for real, an outright global panic
Regarding the Coronavirus COVID 19
An epidemic that has turned pandemic
Has it been proved to be certain
That this is not a world government gimmick
I may be in serious denial when it
Comes to this coronavirus microbe
But it’s only because this is my worse nightmare
I am such an enormous compulsive germaphobe
Can’t even engage in my usual weekend shoppin’
Friends messaging all early saying, you better get to coppin’
But why rush, it’s my day off I’m home chillin’
Listening to my music cleanin’ and rockin’
They type back in all caps, EVERYTHING'S GOING FAST
I get to the store and of course it was too late
All the water and toilet paper scarce
In such a remarkably short time span
At least they still have disinfectant
Wait, why is Human Coronavirus
Listed on the Lysol can
Well, well, what do you know, it has began
Definitely have to stock up on some gloves and a mask
And if I’m going be under some kind of lockdown
Do I dare google where to buy a wine cask
Possibility of containment, no bueno
Too think, people been trying to warn us for years
I’m so mad I ignored the signs
Remained knowledgeable but yet comatose
I never thought I would live to see
The day where the world gets attacked by Thanos
Drink your herbal teas and keep up your immunity
You might want to also grab a zinc dose
I would hate for me or you to get a positive
Coronavirus COVID 19 diagnose
Bonita.
Que?
Es bonita. La agua...
Ho, si. Es muy bonita. Como tu.
Eres loco... Quieres nadar?
Ahorita? Hace frio!
No hace frio... no mucho...
Si, hace frio. En el verano,
Entonces podemos nadar.
Ho... ok. Que piensas?
Nada. En ti. Y tu? Que piensas?
Mm... que eres un buen amigo.
Y... que amor es malo.
Por que dices eso?
Que?
Por que dices que
Amor es malo?
Es la verdad.
Amor es bueno.
Mentiroso.
Por que?
Amor es malo. Ya lo se.
No, es bueno. Es perfecto.
Como puedes decir eso?
Dios. Porque Dios es bueno,
Y Dios es amor...
La problema es con las personas.
A veces las personas son malos...
Pero amor es bueno.
Pienso que eres bueno.
Enserio?
Si. Claro que si.
Y amor? Amor es bueno?
Ahorita, no se...
Pero... talvez.
The awakening of the dawn like a butterfly busting through the cocoon.
The rhino's thyroid condition was exacerbated as the cheetah conflict
continued.
As I drank in and tasted the coolness of the water,
my eyes gazed upon the crocodile's welcoming smile,
the caption was split apart by the hyena's maniacal laughter,
As I breathed in the heinous adventure,
man what I would do for a cliff bar!
Billy Roberts from Germantown Pennsylvania, you are the planner of my trips
no longer.
I'm immersed in the baboon conflict much,
Cheetah's are too anxious and scared'
those crazy colored monkeys,
Always be constantly straight trippin,
I suppose its time to go snatch up a snow cone,
At least then i'll be heated up,
Suppose I'll meander down yonder over in the holler,
the Zoo will be closing soon,
Why is this peacock making a bead-line for me?
Get hence from me you beastly bird!
You Great White, who's sensed the blood in the water,
the kids are all laughing at me,
As I hang clumsily from this tree,
Screaming shrill and hoarsely for someone to come and save me,
I enmesh myself and become one with the tree,
Ya that's right devil-bird! walk away!
that's why they call me lizard lips,
I can hide from anything,
Wednesday will be my greatest day,
because it begins in W and ends in Y,
As I take in a deep relaxed breath and pinch my leg until my eyes begin to
adjust again,
The Bronx Zoo is no bueno,
Asta la Vista you toothy baboons
Who am I, where am I from
I’m a girl who ancestors are from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Panama
See me I don’t know the whole enchilada
My zodiac sign has to do with Aqua
I walk up to you and say, “ Hola amigo, como esta”
You reply to me and say,” Muy bien y tu.”
I say, “Bien mucho gracias.”
I can’t really have a conversation in Espanol
Because I only know boquito
Como te llamas, do you know mine
Me llamas est Preciosa
Me gusta el color Amarillo
You can walk up to me and bring out the mexican in me
Bring out the rice and beans
The whole encilada
Bring out the de le manana
I’ll get back to ya
If I saw you in Puerto Rico I would say
Bueno? Que traes or oye tocayo
I will introduce you to my traditional food
Burritos
Enchiladas
Bolillos
Carne abada
You bring out the Mexican in me
Yo vengo todo el camino a Mexico'.
Para, ver el mundo..
Para, ver las cosas Diferentes.
Ahora al rato.
Yo si me tiempo viene.
Para, ver el mundo.
Para sober que el.
Prtaisa esta terinado.
Adios amigos'...
Adios amigos'...
Adios amigos'...
Adios amigos'...
Yo se mundo este lleno, de cosas diferente.
Las cosas diferente.
Ahora el rato.
Porqel el amor se disfruta.
Ellos san porte de la vida..
Adios amigos'...
Adios amigos'...
Adios amigos'...

Yo pienso el mundo es ou cosa espencia.
El amor si dis fruta.

Y bueno sara para el hombre.
Esto es parques yo pe enso, esta palaras vienes pel araiso.
Adios amigos'...

Saving credits for a trip to the stars,
A cave at Alba Mons volcano:
Ancient secrets, flowing bars;
Greenish women, so Bueno;
Artifacts, old, Martian,
Calling me to hug.
Beetle auction.
Red dust bug.
Big brained,
Life,
Love.
Misplaced
Mementos
Belonging to
Polka-dot fellows
Sexy ladybugs knew.
A rust-colored threesome
In waters that ran chilled and new;
But, air-thinned with delirium,
And a dusty marriage Mars did eschew.
Nos pedimos bendiciones
Sobre todo lo que tenemos.
Entre las tribulaciones
Tu gozo nos queremos.
Queremos madrugadas bonitas
Buenos tiempos en tu presencia.
Bueno entradas y salidas
Bajo tu omniscencia.
Coro
Otro año de tu gracia
Otro año del Señor.
Un año de misericordia
Y lleno de amor.
Otro año para cumplir
Tu voluntad en mi Vida.
Otro año para decir
Tus palabras cada día.
2
Cuándo duro están nuestros vías,
Damos gracia para continuar.
Cuándo enojo es en nuestros vidas,
Damos gracia para abrazar.
Nos pedimos alegría
En cada día del año nuevo;
Para tu gran familia
Un año feliz y bello.
Coro.
Terrible Spanish, I know, but I am working on it diligently. If you know more than I do, feel free to give me some tips. Thanks!
En lucha saliste del polvo
Con ìmpetu mostraste valor y poder
En intentos no comiste ni dormiste
Era acero, visión, nada más
Todo un correr, un deprisa
En el alma siempre el pesado reloj
Eras el fuego entre luces y sombras
La agonía de un vuelo sin par
Pero al despertar viste lo distinto:
peligros, amenazas, perfidia, traición
Pasaste al blanco de ojos salvajes
Y has de cuidarte pues trampas hay
En tu andar soñaste algo bueno:
navegar, altruismo, conquistas…
Anhelos entre humo y noches
Empero ya descubriste de la junta el plan
Frías calles y manos en bolsillos
Sientes el aire bañado de lujo y placer
Más son los burócratas del descarrilado partido
amos del sol, de esperanzas y de azules olas
Nuestro mundo es así:
quimera, adiós y un triste oropel
Y desde un puerto hasta el cementerio
el verdugo controla con gran desazón

Do you believe God will inject life into dry bones?
Believe it
You will feel a certain umc in your spirit
- the moment He puts it there
But don't go around hunting for it
Wishing it
He does it whatever He pleases
And when He pleases
You'd never know when He gives you something
I am not too sure if all of us get the same thing
Who knows?
Unless we compare notes, haha
But I always know when God is about to give me something
Because it's when I act out and become dissatisfied
Am I a rotten child?
I think I am
But I believe God will give you what He wants you to have
And there is nothing you can do
to make Him to give it to you
He will orchestrate the whole thing
Making you wanting something
Edgy, urging Him on
That is when you know that He is behind it
You can't cause it
It will just happen
There is no point of moping around wanting something
If He wants you to have something
You will know
His spirit will lead you there
You can't falter
You can't fail
If He wants you to have it
You will have it
So just go about doing your things
And let His spirit guide you
Love love love
Mucho kisses
Is that good Spanish?
I don't know
But I don't care
Mucho bueno
Muy bien
A menu, Annetta, I’m hungry as a bear.
But first, something lighter, tell me, what have you there?
Chips, by the bowlful with salsa as starter fare.
Do bring them A-S-A-P, and yes, I declare
Extra? bring some queso with tender, loving care.
First course finished, once more the menu, if you please;
Greens, tomatoes, cucumbers with lots of chickpeas,
Hidden Valley ranch, the best dressing will appease.
Iced sweet tea with two slices of lemon, I’ll squeeze.
Just a simple salad will stave my hunger’s chime.
Keep that menu close at hand, for proteins are prime;
Leafy salad down the hatch, now it’s entrée time.
Menu calls loudly in clear meatier voices.
Now for the main course, Bueno! stomach rejoices.
Operation Fulfillment: contentment, my need.
Polla Poblano, with rice and black beans to spare;
Quesadillas, two with chorizo, two with cheese.
Rich cuisine fills me up, I am feeling sublime.
Skipping dessert sounds like the wisest of choices,
Tosh! bring me fried ice cream, for I have gone to seed.

Caín
Resentido, egoísta y violento
Hijo de Adán y de Eva
Amaba el reconocimiento,
recibir grandes favores de
Dios y vivir a su manera
Odiaba que otro obtuviera
mayores logros,
que no lo honraran cuando
hacía algo y que le reprocharan
Creía que Dios no era capaz
de descubrir, juzgar y condenar
el mal, que dando poco se podía
recibir mucho,
que en la adoración no era
necesario dar algo bueno
y que había que destruir
a cualquier si chocaba
con los intereses y
aspiraciones personales
Su caso hizo entender a
los hombres que hay un
Dios justo que no tolera
la maldad, el abuso
y la violencia
contra el prójimo
Su gran deseo fue que
el Señor no lo castigara
tal como él mató a su hermano
Nació en las inmediaciones
del Huerto del Edén
El Asesino
Sociedad De Consumo A Menudo
El hombre ha cambiado, y ha confundido sus
sus principios. Lo que un dia fue cultura,
inocencia y pudor - ha degenerado en vulgaridad,
malicia y impureza.
Lo que ayer fue un lindo sentimiento, de calor,
comprencion y amor - ahoy se ha convertido en
frialdad, intolerancia y odio.
nuestros ninos, aprenden lo que ven. En su
encuentro hay un cumulo de basura, que van
digiriendo al paso que van creciendo. La obedencia
es victima de la indocilidad.
El pudor muere en las garras de lo grotesco y el
hombre bueno es catalogado, como un imbecile...

My poems # II ( A Daily Consumed Society )
If you should die before me
I know in Heaven you will be free, but...
If you're allowed to come back here
Let's have a plan to say you're near, maybe...
Like tracks in the snow but that could be a deer
Unless you have a choice what you look like in Heaven, and...
The only selection left was a deer--# seven--lucky 7 (!)
Or a loud knock on the front door, no, so...
probably not, I would pee on the floor and
maybe more...
How about a whisper in my ear, well no, I might forget that was one of our signals and think a bug crawled in my ear and start frantically hitting my ear in case the bug is still alive then go get Q tips or some baby oil and, by that time you'd probably have to leave
unless you now had the capability of zapping ear bugs just in case it really was a bug, like maybe you learn to do that when you're dead, like a --I CAN DO THIS SINCE I'M DEAD list---Like a TO DO LIST --but not really...
Or you rearrange the house while I'm running
Nope, not a good idea, the burglar alarm
would start humming, no bueno...
Or would it ???????????
Change of plan, just stay up there
I will get with ya sooner or later
But, if there REALLY is an animal list
And the only one left is an alligator
I'll be coming sooner than later !!!!
AAARRRGGGG !!!!!!
