Monocrostic (Birthday of Grace D. Felaire)
Creativity comes and goes.
That’s what she believes, she named Cho.
Cho happens to be a potato.
Creativity comes and goes because Cho just knows.
When Cho the potato gets creative,
She eases in with simple watercolor.
Creativity starts to be invasive
as her mind races for more, oh brother.
Oils, dance, pottery, and art,
She gains quite the speed.
Cho doesn’t see art out of her league.
Creativity makes into her potato heart.
Literature, theater, architecture, film,
Drawing, music, sculpting, craft.
Cho the potato starts looking grim
As she spirals down and asks,
“Is all of this creativity making me dread?
I might just stay on the couch instead.”

Monocrostic (Birthday of Mae Bonto)
2025.03.06
Dear God,
I humbly kneeled in front of you.
Please blessed and protected me.
I have lived many years,
Why did I develope this feelings?
To someone who had heart of coals.
I wished I could resolve and remove,
All the emotional pain,
And stick to my single life's plan.
Tomorrow will be another day again,
From sun rises to sun sets.
All I want is to remember how to forget,
That would be the best solution.
Time will pass and heal all wounds.
But how soon, indeed how soon.
There was a saying in one of my language,
To an old husband, young wife was liked heaven.
To an old wife, young husband meant payments.
Amen.
Troi cao co thau,
Cuoi xin nguoi ban phuoc cho doi con.
Qua bao tuoi doi.
Moi gap duoc nguoi minh men yeu.

Nho nhung doan truong xot da,

Dem long nho thuong nguoi dan nuoc la,
Roi thoi gian cung se troi qua
Moi tinh lan dan suot cuot doi ta.
Trot yeu nguoi khong yeu minh
Chi la gay dan cuoc tinh gian do.
Yeu chi cho kho doi ta.
Co le minh pham kiep dao hoa.

De duoc song mot minh thoi tha.

Chong tre vo gia la tien bo ra
Miso deh vo, ah vah-say chi, poso ghum.

Ah van de ah go!
Oh, oh,

Ah say de be cum buh
Chorest uh brah

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou pa ka fè anyen mal
Ou ka chame li ak yon ti chanson
Nan men ou, li pa bezwen anpil.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Mond lan sanble li trè bèl
Tout bagay anfò, an pinpan
Lè yon fanm adore ou.
Se tout ane a ki printan
Ti zwazo yo ap repoze e yap chante
Timoun yo ap jwe e yap ri
Gen anpil bonè ak kè kontan.
Lè ou voye flè pou li
Lè ou bay li bèl bijou
Li bo ou tankou yon ti bebe
E li ba ou akolad pou tout yon ane.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou santi ou ekstrèmman byen
Kay la gen anpil, yon dividal manje
Paske li bay ase pou vant ou plin.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Syèl la klere epi li ble
Lanmè a manyifik e trè klè
Lè yon fanm renmen ou.
Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Solèy la cho e li pike
Nwaj yo ap vwayaje
Lè yon fanm adore ou.

This is a translation of the poem When A Woman Loves You by Hebert Logerie
My More Horn Haiku to You
chew and chew then chew
train riding on is a cho cho
picture of I drew
How about that for a Horn Haiku.
Ogden Nash is one of my favorite poets.
Just found out that Nashville is named
after his family.
Great effects came about at the fall
There man fell a very great depth
far more than we like to really admit
no matter the times you rise, man hits a wall
The real need of the hour
humility, really just being humble
realise you're not what you think
learn well not to moan and grumble
The world's bigger than you think
far larger than your imagination at all
even God is bigger than in your view
which is tiny compared to God so true
Remind yourself again you're not God
God is God and only He's the Lord alone
all peoples are made in His image even you
sinners saved by grace describes all to atone
Be humble and learn to be wise
these two ingredients go hand in hand
God blesses them when the two meet
showing it's all sovereignly planned
Holding a posture of humility
so godly showing HIs true mark
filled by His holy spirit in His fullness
shining forth His light putting out the dark
("When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom." - Proverbs 11: 2 (ESV)
(' Be humble, the world is bigger than your view of the world and certainly, God is much bigger than your view of God' - Eugene Cho )
Weathered memories
I dream of you as always
Thoughts that linger onwards
Hover in the stillness of the night
Behind sullen shadows
Across silent clashing waves
Throbs of a heart beating
Echo relentless in my head
Distanced from this realm
Beached dreams of you and me
Reminder of our time cut short
Every moment thereafter
A throbbing aching longing
To reunite two souls in love
Heaven awaits with bated breath

A predawn hike with flashlights to the top of
Diamond Head, a little less than a mile
In and out of lava formation to
An elevation of about 600 feet...
My anticipation fades to concentration
On keeping pace and breathing.
Nearing the top, adrenalin meets excitement.
Dark of night clears to soft daylight. I
Hear the words, "Rarely have we seen..."
Echo. From the colorless world of
Addiction to this vast brilliant and vivid
Display of sunrise is humbling. A
Soft breeze seems to push pillow clouds
Under an azure cover, carrying re-
Newed hope from our sunrise meeting for
Recovery into this breathtaking world...
Into this day... to possibly help someone
Suffering. For today and this experience, I am
Eternally grateful.

The Town Query
W andering through the maze of intense mind
H ours of fervent search would take me deep
A t the core of feeling my yearning heart craves
T o find a blooming flower, I know it is love.
W hen in the silvery garden on a full moon night
H ues of romance tinged with shades of mystiqe blue
O utline the shape of a dream figure, I know it is you.
W hy, you might ask, you appear like a lone star
H igh above in dark and I see you shine in my sky,
Y ou’re made for me to sparkle I know, that is why.
W alking on the garden path in spring I could
H ear the breeze flowing on the flowers whispers
E cho of music rippling on your butterfly wings,
R iding the pulsating waves of my soaring ecstasy
E nter my heart, that’s when you know it is me.
