Hello, my dearest friend
Skip together till the end
Laughing by the river brooks
And searching through book nooks
Smiling until the end of time
Friendship ages like red wine
As I sit and look out,
I hear the soft cadence
of dripping eaves as
afternoon fades from the sky.
I’m completely mesmerized by the gentle sound,
and the slow, methodical raindrops sliding down
the splattered windowpane…
...as twilight comes with more gentle rain...

Monocrostic (Birthday of Elsa G. Mercurio)
by midday the capital is lost in deferring of appointment, illegal assembly and illegal protest of speech, past speech of the governance and the executive, insurmountable halls of congress have no cause for speech in between coordinated attack points.
the cowardice grows in the hands of the general's might.
deprived of voice the eldest child is thrilled and in traitors steakhouse
In our school, there's a bustling classroom
with eager minds that shine and zoom
through lessons, one by
one, reaching high.
From a teacher's
nurturing care,
knowledge
sprouts
and
grows.
In this learning tree, young ideas
cover notebooks and whiteboards
with bright, fresh concepts.
They are powerful;
even the shy and
hesitant start
to share
their
thoughts.
The classroom hums with curiosity,
questions bloom like spring flowers,
minds opening to new worlds.
Students feed on wisdom,
hungrily plucking
insights from
the tree of
learning.
With ink and mind, a future bright,
In education's noble fight.
For every child, a chance to soar,
Equity's flame, forevermore.
The curriculum, a vibrant stream,
With skills for life, a modern dream.
Assessment's lens, a wider view,
Beyond the test, a world anew.
From home to school, a hand to hold,
Engage the young, their stories told.
Empowering teachers, hearts ablaze,
With knowledge shared, in countless ways.
Early seeds of literacy sown,
A love of reading, fully grown.
Mentorship's bridge, a helping hand,
Connecting minds across the land.
After the bell, the learning thrives,
With extra help where knowledge strives.
Reading's joy, a treasure sought,
In cozy corners, battles are fought.
Bridging the gap, a digital quest,
For all to learn, and put it to the test.
Data's compass, a guiding light,
To shape the future, ever bright.
Together strong, hand in hand,
With partners joined across the land.
The public voice, a chorus raised,
For education's cause, forever praised.
Let minds ignite, let voices ring,
In Literacy's Land, the children sing.
Sun and snow dance in
merriment, yet rain declines -
much to children's joy.

On my special day,
Let us dance and not count flaws.
Let the music free us,
Not wine, but cherries.

The rain
furies out
in a fight
against the wind.
Anger
in search
of control
and dominance.
It falls
with a purpose
of lashing out
at everyone and no one
all at once.
They walk in this battle
with an essence of calm.
Shielding eyes,
hoods up, and laughing all the same.
The waft of wet
grass, gravel, stone.
The breath of nature
in the polluted air.
A war like this
is no place to walk
without shelter
on their heads.
They walk out into
the heart of the feud.
As it wages on,
they welcome the serenity
this feud provides.
A walk in the rain
is nothing but calm.
Head to toe,
dripping on the ground.
The stress of reality
has disappeared,
if only momentarily.
A walk in the rain
Is a caress
of serenity.
In this battle between elements,
they are at peace.
A certain type of man
possessed of a rock-hard head
butts it into a cement wall
again and again and again
The wall eventually yields
the man grunts
and begins his search
for a thicker cement wall
It's the greatest ice-cream in the land,
the Knickerbocker Glory is regal and grand.
all the other ones are inferior and bland,
It's the Knickerbocker i'll devour with spoon in hand.
You can have your rum & raisin, vanilla or mint with choc-chips,
the Knickerbocker Glory is the only one to pass my lips.
Forget your strawberry, chocolate, served with flakes, syrup or dips,
I'm off to the hotel again, I love my Knickerbocker trips.
The Knickerbocker is glorious, it really is the best,
there's none comes close, it's better than the rest.
forget your banana, your bubblegum or lemony zest,
I'll only entertain the Knickerbocker Glory, that I will attest.
The Knickerbocker Glory is simply a visual sensation,
It's famous and loved across the whole nation.
The Knickerbocker Glory is voted #1 by the population,
It's Knickerbocker-glorious, the greatest ice-cream creation.
Life is in our hands
For we to spend
Let's contented, relax and enjoy
Even a small remain from the dinner table
Fills the hope of a swarm of ants under the table
Let's find the way to love and to utilize
Small thing can become great idea
A small contentment is a part of a great satisfaction
Contentment leads to satisfaction
Satisfaction leads to relaxation, enjoyment and happiness
And happiness leads to achievement of target and mission
After all maybe happiness is the only special offer in life
For we to purchase and spend
For him to enjoy freedom flight
My heart is imprisoned with love
Assisting development height
While he propels himself above.
Optimizing promise of hope
For him to enjoy freedom flight
Patience is stretched along peace-slope
As special child smites spastic blight.
Beholding each milestone delight
I praise God Who grants strength and grace*
For him to enjoy freedom flight
Possible upon prayer brace.
Maneuvering wheel chair with zest
My dear son conquers struggling fright
Secured around faith's caring best
For him to enjoy freedom flight.
*2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
