Best Rico Poems

Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico
Have you survived the storm ?
The hurricanes the hurricanes
no mercy do they show.
We ask eternal question
what have we done wrong 
Don't blame yourselves,it's no ones fault
Nor punishment from God
Time and unforeseen occurance
I've learned be falls us all.
Prayers are the saving hope
Prayers for...

He’s the master of limerick quirks!
He has charmed PS with witty smirks! 
His wit, quite dry,
Hits a bullseye,
That is how Rico's wry mindset works!

I
If any writer here didn't like him --
If Souper One, or 2023, dislike Rico,
Please correct my notion: Rico made you smile
Even when you hated to smile or laugh
ThanX Rico for leaving your fingerprints here
More respectful than boot prints --
You tried to enjoy life, and people,
Even...

Dear Rico your Lim’s were one of a kind
In them you definitely spoke your mind
      Your passing has me in tears 
     You brought us a-lot of cheers 
Meeting you here was a treasured find

The hunky man with tarzan zeal 
had sexy buns made of steel   
when he walked 
the girls gawked
as they cried, Oh heh, can I feel ?...

I’m a coqui frog from Puerto Rico.
Noisiest amphibian as you know.
I’m an inch long
With a mighty song.
My hundred decibel call scares a foe....

In the darkness of the night
I see your star shine bright
I hear the cries of our people
trying to be seen as equal
I feel your resilient heart
being torn apart
the desperation, indignation, exasperation
They insult us with their words
their ignorance, unconcern, and condemnation
but despite it all, we shall...

RIP RICO 
4/8/41—12/15/22
Spirit guide O spirit guide begin his journey
Take him through the colors 
Amber, presence of God, fiery passion, wisdom, 
and God’s anointing
Pink new life, Father’s heavenly care, 
and Rose of Sharon
Silver, salvation and the Word of the Lord
Spirit close to home for these...

When Rico said, Thirty days will go by
and I’ll be forgotten after I die
I knew what I had to do
I’ll make a book for you
At least the cover will catch your eye

I decided to do this in case he croaks
It's a chapbook with his incredible...

Horn Puerto Rico Haiku

All over Puerto Rico exists everywhere,
People who need our comfort and care;
Worry and fear,
There and here;
All they do have is sadness and despair.

Need things so their problem to be solved;
American military must become involved;
Them will greet;
Not suffer defeat;
With their efforts problems are...

Goodbye 
We'll surely miss having Rico around
For his Limerick's distinctly profound 
He cheered us all up
At times made us blush 
As Limerick King Rico earned his crown.

Rico you’re the Monarch of poet hearts
Loved for your talented creative art 
We miss you so much
For your Midas...

Elfin forest, 
Hiding in Peru,
Waiting for fog drip

Gnarled trunks,
Lichens, ferns, orchids,
Mossy forest's trolls

Intense tree canopy
Keeping shy mountain gorilla's secrets
Holding raindrops hostage

Perpetual fog,
Adding a mystique 
of shadowed magic

Tropical delight
Heavily affected by
Global climate changes

Elfin forest,
Lending her mosses
To lead the way...
