Endowed and Blest
Endowed with life that’s blest, my heart does glow
as joys flow midst thanks’ zest
to share love of peaceful crest
while praising God*, doing best.
*Psalms 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

My Country Endowed With God's Natural Beaches
Farthest in the background is the blue sky
Standing afar is the green ridge mountain
Beneath below is the blue turquoise sea
Near the front view is the white sandy beach.
Looking at the left side is lined nipa huts
Supposed to be beach cabin for vacationers
The ground sand beaches are lined colored umbrellas
Connecting the shoreline are parked boats and

HAPPY NEW YEAR
A new version
Another chapter to rewrite
A new start
Another year, 2025 to be accurate
A new page and more awareness
Another chance to correct and recreate.
A year of possibilities
If only you begin
I'll rejoice and be glad
For the gift of life
Many didn't make it
Didn't lost any family or friends
Glory to the

Endowed Crowd We Allowed Horn Haiku
should see starter home
seemed so small but just enough
which they still live in
apartments for poor
all of them had slate sliding
which they still live in
fight for a union
discriminate against them
sad state of affairs
feel deeply about
God who we all believe in
will show us the way
we were with a crowd
encountered being endowed
which we had allowed
This kind of is

Choose To Bow Or Not
It’s long I last bowed
To the Adjudged Endowed;
Long I had vowed
To boycott any crowed
With voices irksomely loud
Or purposely proud
Which often got me cowed
Of feel “The Ploughed”
Or my peace disallowed.
The choice should be a Man’s
To idolize the Endowed
Or kick-start juicy plans
To ascend to some cloud
And from there govern The Proud
Or down throw to The Endowed
The message

RIVER
———————————-
My trail comes to face a wide river
With no bridges to be seen under these
evergreens —
Outdoing one another in height.
No rustling leaves underfoot:
The pines let fall their needles
For years and years, so
I walk over a padded bed of silence
Laid thick upon the earth,
softly, light browns beside
The

Studley: the Well-Endowed
There was a young queen who wanted a king
Would be scandalous if she had a fling
The needy royal chick
Gave her ruling real quick
When she saw Sir Studley's well-endowed 'thing'
The Queen took matters into her own hands
Making sure he'd agree to her demands
You must give me pleasure
And serve at my leisure
King Studley rises when the Queen

Observations
Today is a yellow day
everything is so blaze’
I’m sure to have my way
If I don’t have much to say.
We snip, we snarl then
it’s makeup time.
The next few moments
are so sublime.
The trees fly by stately
in their own way.
I’m sure if they could talk
they’d have a lot to say.
Oh, this new highway
already in need

Well Endowed
Indebted to pride,
Paid unceasingly,
Dutiful visits,
Souls of conviction,
Undaunted revived.
Call the humane,
Hail the advanced,
Hence well cultured,
Chivalrous realm.
Perfect stretch,
Sound advice,
Picture sharp.
Humble,
Noble.
Blest.

God-Endowed
God-endowed, heavenly wealth*, I’m possessing!
With His eternal riches as channels for progressing,
I’m giving cheerfully and for His work, advancing.
Yes, I’m called to follow my Master’s His divine procedures
Being led by His voice away from path that injures!
With His ready warnings against worldly vultures.
*Ecclesiastes 5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and

Trump the Most Endowed and More
Trump The Most Endowed
Trump does think he is the most endowed,
When compared to all others in his crowd,
He was estranged,
While disarranged,
And they like him are obnoxious and loud.

And did absconce,

What God Endowed the Owl With Such Excess
The owl can see with wide and narrow view
Focuses both poets and artists knew.
The broad sweep on the canvas makes a place
Where details and designs can have their space.
What God endowed the owl with such excess;
When all her progeny enjoy such bliss?
I think, where is the snake with frightening hiss?
What
