Keep dreaming, creating
Following your inspiration
Any work is a window
Into your artistic soul
You have proven to yourself
You have something special
To offer to the world.

Topic: Birthday of Keisha Thea Marquez (August 29)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
She was an acquaintance
Mysteriously daring but seductive,
With a heart of Gold.
She came as a friend
With an enthusiastic aura,
Desiring more than friendship.
She came like the night
Dangerous but enchanting,
Raged with passion.
She came like eve
Natural in blonde,
Dressed in nude.
She aimed like a god
Skilled with her chalice,
She came for me.

Topic: Birthday of Nicole Ann Quintos (March 22)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Sometimes my heart may seem to soften
And I am glad Jill is not away too often
Also sure like Gene my new neighbor
A peaceful sort never rattling a sabre.
Not sophisticated or prefers to go strutting
And never heard of him ever head-butting
A perfect pleasure having him next door
Brought me ice cream from a local store.
One more notch on belt started to buckle
When he said I sure like your honeysuckle
And before my door I had started shutting
He asked me if he could have a cutting.
