Thirteenth Birthday

I picturize my thirteenth birthday through memory glass
My grandpa matured my dream with a shiny black bicycle
Thrilled for I would now be able to ride like other friends

Grandpa held the cycle as I capered along with him
I was taken to a huge ground where...

Night of solstice 
On a hot and humid June
The covenant of sisters 
Gazing at the signs from the stony mound
On a night where comets fled the sky 
We are sisters
We are Kindreds
Sacred daughters of Ophiuchus
Healers from the stars
Healers of  Aesculapius
Snake charmers, doctors, herbalist 
The...

Je déteste les attaques ISIS vendredi, 
Ils etaient ignoble, dégoûtant et le mal, 
Au nom de Dieu pour la religion, 
Avec les mentalities és dans l'oubli 

nous devons justifier structures démocratiques, 
En défense, en tuant tous les terroristes
Et la question de l'acceptation de Dieu, 
Avec...

Friday the thirteenth, so the superstitious say,
Is a day for caution, as the worst could happen
Karma is likely to strike back in shades of gray
Friday the thirteenth, so the superstitious say,
Misfortune is likely to happen to you today
It is a splendid idea to carry a...

When I saw you in your casket, it brought tears to my eyes.
You died two years ago today on the thirteenth day of July.
When the doctors said that your illness was terminal, I didn't want to believe that it was true.
But sadly, they were correct...

It is not something
That can be tied
Pulled to you with a rope.
Nor laced and bound
To feel its own every breath.
You can not lay it on crust
And taste it like lemon epiphany.

You can not steer it
By turning the wheel this way and that.
Nor can you feel...

All clocks stop dead as the time demon prepares to strike me again
A pause in time just to grind me down 
 As the clocks strike on its thirteenth hour
The time when darkness starts to makes its sound

Where bad luck and bad times are looming
Past...

I-n September thirteenth day, 
Z-one of zest seems fine; 
S-ince there's a brewing storm, 
A-rea stays good by a
H-airline.

A-ccept any kind of weather, 
N-ever cry in the pouring rain; 
G-leam of dawn shall be seen, 
U-nder the wide blue lane.
L-et your life be bathed in...

Friday the Thirteenth
By Franklin Price

One and thirty days this month,
Twelve have gone by.
The thirteenth is upon us,
Not good, I'll tell you why

Friday, is the reason;
Bad luck for you and me
Have gotten up the courage
Looked through the blinds to see.

A black cat's sitting on my porch.
A...

G-ood weather in thirteenth September
I-s brightly brought to your birth; 
G-reen leaves in the nice meadow
I-ntroduce the new fresh mirth.

O-ne morn in thirteenth September
Z-enith slowly prepares its light; 
A-t noon as the sun is straight up, 
E-mitted rays are crimson in sight.
T-hirteenth September at dawn,...

Friday the Thirteenth

Today's another Friday
The thirteenth is its date
Some say that its unlucky
Should take care at any rate

Don't walk under any ladders
Don't let black cats cross your way
If you find a penny, pick it up,
When traveling today

Don't break any mirrors
It's bad luck for...

Do`s and Don`ts

 Avoid thirteenth of Fridays
for any new ventures
for any new businesses

Skip number 13 in buildings
in hotel rooms
In private hospitals

 Be careful when driving
walking or moving
after seeing 
a black cat crossing
the street

 Sanctify all food...

In the annals of time, a tale untold,
Resides the slavery loop hole, bold.
Within the Constitution, revered and strong,
Lurks a dark verse, where justice went wrong.

Enslavement's grip, it sought to uphold,
A contradiction, a story yet untold.
A clause concealed, with chilling grace,
Deemed humans as chattel, a disgrace.

Through...
